A Strong Purse

Cast on any number of stitches that can be divided by three.—No. 22 needles.

First row—bring the wool forward, slip one; knit two, pass the slip-stitch over them.—Repeat to the end of the row.

Second row—plain knitting.

Third row—knit two, before the pattern is commenced, that the holes may come in a diagonal direction.

Fourth and Fifth rows—same as second and third.

Sixth row—same as first.

This purse will take five skeins of second-sized netting silk. It particularly requires stretching.
