Knitting & Crochet patterns from the Lewis Lloyd Collection

Cast on 24 stitches, and knit plain for 18 rows.
Then increase till you have 84 stitches; knit straight on for 84 rows and then decrease until you have 24 stitches.
Knit 18 rows and cast off.
Fasten a loop of webbing about 1 1/2 inches on to each and run a cord through them (made of the cotton) to fasten the "Rest" to the foot of the bed, finish off the cords with tassels.

This petticoat has a knitted waistband with a crochet skirt. The instruction 'till the petticoat is long enough. Join then work round and round' allows for a slit from waist to hips, to enable the wearer to get in and out, like a skirt without a zipper.

For band - Cast on 12 stitches - knit plain - till long enough for band, making a buttonhole at the end.
Then 2 treble crochet with every alternate knitted stitch to end of row - crochet backwards and forewards 2 treble into every space between each 2 treble of previous row till 9 rows are done - then 10th and all following rows 3 treble instead of 2 into each space till the petticoat is long enough. Join and then work round and round.
For border - Stripes of a different colour may be introduced if preferred.

Petticoat stitch pattern as knitted.
'Scan' or 'scanned' was interpreted to mean 'purl'.
Brioche stitch creates a loose, frilly border.
