Material: Fine Shetland wool.
Illustration 330 represents a knitted
veil in reduced size. The original was worked with fine Shetland wool
in an open pattern; it is edged with a knitted lace. Its length is 24
inches, its width 18 inches. Work the veil from a paper pattern of a
shape corresponding to that of
[344]
illustration 330. Compare the paper shape often with the knitting in
the course of the work, and try to keep them alike.
Knit the veil in the pattern of the
original, or in the pattern of illustration 331. For the former one
begin at the lower edge of the veil, cast on 45 stitches upon thick
wooden needles, and work
the 1st row:
* Knit 2, throw the wool forward, knit 2 together twice, repeat from
*.
2nd row:
Purled.
3rd row:
Knit 1, throw the wool forward, knit 2 together, * throw the wool
forward, knit 2 together twice, and repeat from *.
4th row:
Purled.
5th row:
Like the 2nd row. The pattern must be reversed. The pattern figures
increase with the increasings at the beginning and at the end of each
row.
The pattern of illustration 331
consists of the 2 following rows:--
1st row:
Slip 1, then alternately throw the wool forward, and knit 2 together.
 2nd
row: Entirely knitted; make 1 stitch of the wool thrown forward
in the last row. When the veil is finished, wet it, and stretch it
over paper or pasteboard; let it dry, and then edge it with the
following lace:--Cast on 10, knit the 1st.
2nd row:
Knit 1, throw the wool forward, knit 9.
3rd row:
Knitted.
4th row:
Knit 1, throw the wool forward, knit 2, throw the wool forward, knit 2
together twice, knit 4.
