Make the pattern three times for one front, bind
off 35 stitches, continue the scallop with the holes for beading on the
remaining stitches until you have fourteen scallops for one shoulder, then cast
on 35 stitches and knit the pattern six times for the back. Make the other shoulder and front in the same
way. Make seventeen inches the same as
shoulder for inside of arm. Run
three-eighths-inch ribbon in the holes and tie on shoulders and in front.
No. 38 lace thread was sued for this yoke, which
is large enough for thirty-two or thirty-four-inch bust measure; it may be
easily increased in size, however, by knitting an extra pattern, and adding to
the length of shoulder.
In crochet cord or knitting-cotton the insertion
without the scallops, also omitting the purling, if preferred, makes a very
pretty stripe for a bedspread. With the
edge of scallops, omitting the purling – which any knitter can readily do after
having knitted the pattern as described – one has a very attractive lace while
the scallop itself makes a neat, pretty edging for under-garments and any small
article.

still on the needle.
For the underarm piece take another needle, cast
on 2- stitches and knit across plain.

12. Knit 5,

Repeat from 1st row until there are
nine scallops for the underarm; then, as you knit to the top or selvage edge,
take the strip you have completed for the back and knit the last stitch on your
needle with the 1st stitch of the other (the two selvages together);
turn, knit 1st row of scallop, turn, knit back to the top as usual,
knitting last stitch with next stitch of the back. Continue in this way until 24 stitches (the
insertion) are joined, leaving the 20 stitches of the scallop still on the
needle.
Now proceed with the overarm strip, which has the
scallop on each edge. Knit across the
edge which you have just joined to the roseleaf insertion, then continue with
the scallop exactly as you knitted it when making the back of the yoke. Knit until you have seven scallops (on each
edge) for the shoulder, then divide, having 20 stitches on each needle. Leave the upper edge, and knit four scallops
on the underarm, joining to the beginning of the underarm strip by knitting
together.
Now take the upper or shoulder needle, with the
remaining 20 stitches, and pick up 24 stitches along the selvage of the four
scallops last knitted, 1 stitch from every other row, and making the original
44 stitches. Continue with the front,
making it the same as the back, and proceed with the other arm exactly as
directed for the first, joining the ends by knitting together loosely enough
not to draw the work.
Finish by running ribbon through the beading
spaces, front and back, and around the arms.
Strengthen the plain space between the beading over the shoulder, by
neatly applying narrow tape on the under side.
The lace in itself is very pretty; and the edging
with the beading may be applies without the insertion to the neck and sleeves
of a corset-cover or combination garment.
