18th: Knitted. The same. Repeat these 18 rows.

Take up the remaining stitches of the 70, and form the whole into a
round for the ankle. Purl four rounds.

5th round: X knit 3, make 1, knit 2 together, X all round. Purl 6 more
rounds, and cast off.

FOR THE TASSELS.--Plait some wool into a cord, and fasten at each end
a tassel of white and pink wool combed out.

FOR THE RUCHE.--Cast on five stitches with the coarser needles, and
the white embroidery wool. Knit and purl the rows alternately, winding
the wool six times round two fingers of the left hand at every stitch,
and taking up those threads with the stitches. Do about ten rows so;
then for ten more wind the wool only for the first and last stitches,
and the pink for the others of each row. Do enough to go twice round
the top of each boot. Cut the loops, and comb out the wool. Sew it
round the top of the boot.
