[Ill.u.s.tration: 335.--Looped Knitting.]

335.--_Looped Knitting._

Materials: 4-thread fleecy wool; 2 wooden knitting-needles; 1 flat wooden mesh.

Cast on a sufficient number of st.i.tches, and knit the 1st row plain.

2_nd Row_.--Slip the 1st st.i.tch; insert the needle into the next st.i.tch, and throw the cotton forward as if you were going to knit the st.i.tch; place the mesh behind the needle in the right hand, and turn the wool which is on this needle upwards, bring it back again on the needle so that it is wound once round the mesh, and twice round the needle. Then only the double st.i.tch through the second st.i.tch, knit it, and insert the needle into the next st.i.tch, and repeat what has been explained.

Knit the last st.i.tch without a loop.

3_rd Row_.--Before drawing out the mesh, turn the work and knit one plain row. Every double st.i.tch is knitted as one st.i.tch, so as to attain the same number of st.i.tches as in the 1st row.

4_th Row_.--Like the 2nd row. Repeat these rows as often as required.

This knitting is chiefly used for borders of mats.
