INTRODUCTION.

The hearty enthusiasm with which the first number of the Knitting Extra was re- ceived, the large number sold, and tbe anxious inquiries as to its successor, have deter- mined The Tribune to publish the second number as soon as possible. The shape has been al ered to one which it is known will be more convenient and acceptable to its fair readers, and more easily preserved. As a handy pamphlet giving a carefully-selected variety of patterns, in clear type and good paper, with appropriate illustrations, this publication is absolutely unique. Its price will be 20 cents. For 25 cents both this and the first Knitting Extra, No. 59 (the xegalar price of which is 10 cents), will be forwarded to any address.

A SUMMER CLOUD.

A charming Summer cloud may be crocheted of Shetland floss wool worked in shell pattern, already described in The Tkibune, and in the first number of The Woman’s Extra in the directions for a small three-cornered shawl. A recent specimen intended for seaside wear was of a light blue, nearly three yards long and about two feet wide, and was edged all round with a pi,iin row of scallops, each containing nine trebles. A chain of 361 stitches was first made. This allowed for sixty shells. Each shell was formed of six trebles, the wool being so fine that five trebles failed to make the shell full enough. The second row was begun by a D. C. exactly in Cast on 31 stitches, the middle of the first shell of the first row. It was last 1st row : Knit 8, narrow, over 1, knit 3, over 1, ended by fastening the shell of the second row in the middle of the last shell of the first row, and narrow, knit 9, narrow, over 1, knit 3, over 1, purl finishing with 3 chain. last stitch and slip it hack, over 1, knit 1.
