With seal brown, or black Saxony yarn or silk, and four fine needles, cast on seventy-two stitches, in three needles, knit three, and seam three, until you have a wrist an inch and a half long. Now commence the thumb. In the middle of the needle, where three stitches are knit, make a stitch (by picking up a loop) on each side of the center stitch, making five stitches instead of three. Widen in this manner every seventh time around, until you have twenty-one stitches for the thumb. Slip these twenty-one stitches off on a strong thread, make or cast in three stitches, join your work and finish the hand, knitting three, and seaming three stitches, until the end of the fingers is reached, then narrow off as quickly as possible, narrow every three stitches. Pick up the twenty-one thumb stitches with seven other stitches taken up where the thumb joins the hand, and knit the thumb plain, narrow it off as in plain mittens. Crochet a little border around the wrist. CHILDREN'S PETTICOATS,
