Cross Stitch Pattern for a Quilt
Two colours,—say gold colour and white.—No. 3 needles, pointed at both ends.—Cast on any number of stitches.
First row—white,—knit one plain stitch, turning the wool twice round the needle.—Repeat to the end of the row.
Second row—gold colour,—joining on the colour where the last row of white commenced;—knit one plain stitch, turning the wool once round the needle; knit the long stitch and the one that was knitted in the last row together, turning the wool twice round the needle.—Repeat to the end of the row,—when one stitch will be left, which is to be knitted the same as the plain stitch at the beginning of the row.
Third row—white,—knit two together, taken in the front, turning the wool twice round the needle.—Repeat to the end of the row.
Fourth row—gold colour,—the same as the third,—knitting one plain stitch at the commencement of the row, and one plain stitch at the end of the row, twisting the wool once round the needle.
Fifth row—white,—knit two together, twisting the wool twice round the needle.—Repeat to the end of the row.
Sixth row—Commence again, as at second row.
It may be as well to remark, that two rows are knitted at the back, and two at the front.
