CARRIAGE MAT WITH FOOT WARMERS IN MUSCOVITE TRICOT.
It will be found convenient in working this mat, to cut a paper pattern of the exact size wanted, on which the work may be measured from time to time, to see that the centre and border are duly proportioned. It is also much easier to work the centre and border separately.
Mark upon the paper the size you wish the centre to be, and make a chain a little longer to allow for taking up in working; with the dark olive wool work in Muscovite tricot.
Cut patterns also of the foot muffs fitting the crochet to them. The border is also in Muscovite tricot, worked with the light olive wool; it must be shaped at the corners by working three stitches into one in each row; it is joined to the centre by a needle and wool. The foot-warmers are worked with the darkest shade, and are lined throughout with looped knitting
