A Russian Shawl, in Brioche Stitch
German wool.—No. 9 needles.
For a shawl one yard and a half square, about three hundred and sixty stitches will be required.—Five shades each, of two different colours, turned back, with the lightest in the centre, knitting two rows of each shade, look very well.—The following are good colours,—scarlet and stone colour,—blue and brown,—lilac and red brown,—lilac and white.
The Brioche-stitch is simply—bring the wool forward, slip one; knit two together.
