A Muff, in Colours of Sable
Cast on seventy or eighty stitches.
First, second, and third rows—plain knitting.
Fourth row—bring the wool forward, knit two together, taken at the back.—Repeat to the end of the row.
Repeat these four rows, until the piece be about eighteen inches long, admitting that the shading comes in correctly.
Two No. 8 needles are required, and double German wool, in four distinct shades to match the colour of sable. Commence with the lightest shade,—then the second, third, and darkest, reversing them again to the lightest.
