This pattern comes from The Lady’s Assistant for Executing Useful and Fancy Designs in Knitting, Netting, and Crochet Work by Mrs. Gaugain, published by J. Gaugain, London, 1847, Fourth Edition, no volume number. The interior pages carry the The Lady’s Work Book as a heading at the top of each page.

The “boots” are knit in stripes with a black foot. The recommended yarn is “nine-ply fleecy” whose modern equivalent is close to worsted or slightly thicker than that weight.

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 or illustrations.
