Barley-corn Stitch
Cast on any uneven number of stitches, with eight-thread Zephyr fleecy, or double German wool, and No. 2 needles.
Slip the first stitch, keeping the wool in front of the needle; turn the wool round the needle, so as to bring it in front again; knit two together, taken in front. Continue turning the wool round the needle, and knitting two together, to the end of the row. All the rows are the same.
The two stitches, which are to be taken together, appear always as if tied together.
