BORDER FOR AN EMBROIDERED QUILT.[Fig. 4.]

Materials.—Knitting cotton, white and ingrain pinks, No. 12; knitting needles, No. 15; eagle card-board gauge.

Knitted Embroidery, of which the engraving shows a very simple specimen, is a very novel and beautiful style of work. In wool, its effect rivals that of the costly chenille, with the advantage of being washable; and now that cottons are dyed of such exquisite colors, they are also very suitable for it.

With the white cotton cast on 16 stitches, and purl a row.
