"Commence with Magenta wool and pins No. 14, the wool is to be used doubled throughout the waistband. Cast on 34 stitches. 1st row—Knit 2 together, knit the rest plain. 2nd row—Slip the 1st stitch, knit the rest plain. Repeat these 2 rows 20 times more, when there will be only 13 stitches; then knit 64 rows plain, always slipping the 1st stitch; this will make the bodice 25 inches round the waist, if required more or less, these 64 rows can be added to or reduced."
