KNITTED
VEILS.
It
is
now
customary
to
knit
white
veils
of
what
is
called
Lady
Betty's
wool,
for
babies
to
put
over
their
faces
when
they
are
carried
out
in
cold
weather,
instead
of
pocket-handkerchiefs,
which
were
formerly
used
for
the
purpose,
though
they
were
very
unfit
for
it.
Knitted
veils
in
black
silk
or
worsted
are
also
worn
by
grown-up
persons.
The
veils
for
babies
are
very
simple
in
their
construction;
they
consist
of
oblong
pieces
of
knitting
of
any
width
and
depth
that
may
be
required,
with
knitted
lace
at
the
bottom
and
sides,
and
a
string
case
at
the
top.
The
following
pattern
is
the
most
common:
Knit
and
pearl
alternately
four
rows,
so
that
there
may
be
two
of
each;
then
bring
forward
and
take
two
together
an
entire
row.
This
pattern
is
repeated
through
the
entire
veil;
and
it
must
be
observed,
that
as
many
stitches
must
be
cast
on
as
will
make
it
of
the
necessary
width.
The
needles
should
be
of
the
smallest
size,
of
bone.
Any
lace
will
do;
but
the
following
pattern,
though
not
new,
is
both
pretty
and
suitable;
and
has,
besides,
the
important
recomendation
of
being
very
easy.
Cast
on
eleven
stitches
and
knit
a
row
plain,
then
begin
the
pattern.
1st
row--Knit
three;
bring
forward
and
take
two
together;
knit
one,
take
two
together;
put
the
thread
twice
round
the
needle,
take
two
together,
and
knit
one.
2nd
row--Knit
two,
pearl
one,
knit
one,
put
the
thread
twice
round
the
needle,
take
two
together,
bring
forward,
and
knit
five.
