This pattern comes from Weldon’s Practical Knitter, Number 125, Thirty-First Series (1896). It is also published in Weldon’s Practical Needlework, Volume 11, Interweave Press, 2004.

The original pattern calls for “silk of two colours” and “5 steel needles No. 18” (modern equivalent 1.25mm/US 0000.) Three “curtain rings worked over with…silk” are reeded for fastening as well as a decorative chain.

As with most 19th century patterns, there is no gauge/tension stated in the pattern. There are also no stated finished dimensions. The pattern is written entirely in text and there are no charts. There is, however, an illustration.
