Mrs. Mixter adds: hope these directions will be
OF use to the kntters for the prettiest pattern
have seen. The square l send is knit of finer yarn
than am using for my quilt but it shows the de-
sign as well. -Four of these squares knit of coarse
yarn, and set together, make pretty tidy i like
dhe column very much and am anticipating a
great deal of pleasure in the long winter evenings in
trying the patterns.
The square sent is certainly very handsome 1t
consists of group of four leaves in the centre sur
rounded bya pretty pen-worked border with a row
Oh SIMPLE openwork running along the diagonals
