_First row_--bring the wool forward, slip one; knit one, pass the slip stitch over it; knit one; pearl one.--Repeat to the end of the row.
_Second and following rows_--repeat the first,--every row being alike.
If the wool be split, it exactly imitates the Shetland wool. In splitting, the wool will frequently break; but this is not important, as by laying the ends contrariwise, and twisting them together, a few stitches may be so knit, that the joins are not perceptible.
Both ends of the scarf are to be made alike, by reversing the knitting of the border. They may be finished with a tied, knitted, or netted fringe, of the same wool, without splitting, or of fine German wool.
This should be worked in _Lady Betty's_ wool, or four-thread embroidery fleecy, with No. 6 or 8 needles.

With fine Shetland, or _Lady Betty's_ wool, and No. 10 needles, most beautiful shawls may be knitted from the Leaf and Trellis Pattern (page 36), Point Pattern (page 42), Scotch Pattern (page 44), or Lace Pattern (page 47).
This is prettiest in stripes of about five inches in width, in any two colours.
