Free Vintage Quilt Patterns: For a common quilt
-
Free vintage quilt patterns: for a common quilt - Cast on with cotton two stitches,
use pins no.14 and increase every row. Do 6 rows of plain and 6 of pearl, so
as to make lengthwise ribs. When half a square is done decrease at the beginning
of each row.
When a sufficient number of squares are finished, join together with a square
piece of calico between each knitted one. Thus: take a piece of calico, turn
down the raw edges, double it to the size of the knitted square, and tack the
two edges together. Then sew the knitting and the calico together, as if you
were doing patchwork.
The raw edges of the calico must, of course, be turned inward, meeting each
other so as not to be seen even on the wrong side of the quilt. This is a quick
and neat quilt, but is not so pretty as the other patterns.
