Child's Muff from 1860
 |
Half and ounce each of two colours of worsted weight yarn.
4.5mm needles
Gauge:
20sts to 10cm (4inches) over st on 4mm needles
Pattern:
Cast on 130sts and work 8 rows stocking stitch. Use a knitted on cast
on (as if you were knitting the stitch, but place the loop on the needle
instead of knitting the stitch normally). This is important or your cast
on edge will form large loops when you drop the stitches at the end.
Change colour and continue working in stripes of 8 rows of each colour until you have worked a total of 8 stripes.
Cast off loosely, at the same time drop every 5th stitch off the needle and let it ladder down to the cast on edge.
Finishing:
Fold scarf in half lengthways and sew long edges together. Gather ends
and attach tassels or pompons.
