This pattern comes from Weldon’s Practical Knitter, Number 109, Twenty-Seventh Series (1895). It is also published in Weldon’s Practical Needlework, Volume 10, Interweave Press, 2004.

The original pattern calls for cotton and needles but does not specify a size, only that the needles match whatever was used to knit the larger piece that will be decorated with the tassels.

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.
