Then knit one row right, one left, one right, one left, letting the white worsted hang and knit with the blue one, one stitch right, then the next stitch in the following way: you turn over right, nar row: repeat till the end of the round: then drop the blue worsted and knit with white; one round right, one round left, one round right, one round loft: with this the ﬁrst colored stripe is ended. Next comes the other part knit white, with ribbed stripes, as the illustration shows. First one round is knit quite plain: then twenty-two t/ rounds in the regular change of loops right and

3 two left. Then follows the second blue stripe, which is E to be done in the same way as the former, inter irupted in the middle by two white rounds, form ing a row of holes. To the last round of the second blue stripe knit the rut‘f. There follow now 11 rounds quite plain in white; then the third

i blue stripe in the same way as the two former. To the last round of this the second rat! is to be knit. Next are ﬁve white rounds plain; then three rounds with the change of two loops right,

two loops left; and two rounds plain.
