The ends are then decreased in the following manner:

The wool is now at the left side, leave the 50 st.i.tches on the other pin, and work the other 50, thus:

1st row--Purl, at the end of row purl 2 together.

2nd row--Slip 1, knit 2, turn over, repeat the pattern to the end.

3rd row--As 1st.

4th row--The same as 2nd; at the end make 1, knit 1.

Repeat these 4 rows until there are but 3 st.i.tches, cast off, and commence the other side.

1st row--Purl 2 together, purl the rest.

2nd row--Commence with pattern.

3rd row--Same as first.
