INSTRUCTIONS FOR KNITTING

ORIENTAL RUGS AND CARPETS.

Cut the various colors of wool required for the pattern in equal short bits. Then knit with 11 inch No. 13 needles as follows:

1. THE FIRST ROW flat plain with coarse cotton or twine.

2. THE SECOND ROW one stitch plain; then take a piece of wool and knit it in with the next stitch, so that one half of it is at the front and the other half at the back of the work; then one plain again, and put the half left at the back round to the front of the work, and continue this alternately to the end of the row. Knit ONE ROW PLAIN again, then ONE ROW SAME AS THE SECOND, and so on.

The Carpet may be knitted in pieces of any size and sewn together. If the surface is not quite level cut it even afterwards.

The best results are obtained by using Oriental Wool, Smyrna Cotton and designs manufactured expressly for the purpose and lately introduced into this market by Messrs. H. Taylor & Co., of Philadelphia. Rugs knitted from these materials are as beautiful and serviceable as the real Oriental Carpets, and, if well done, cannot be distinguished from them.
