The Andalusian Knitting and Netting Book by Eléonore Riego de la Branchardière

Commence with Magenta wool and pins No. 14, the wool is to be used doubled throughout the waistband. Cast on 34 stitches.

1st row—Knit 2 together, knit the rest plain.

2nd row—Slip the 1st stitch, knit the rest plain.

Repeat these 2 rows 20 times more, when there will be only 13 stitches; then knit 64 rows plain, always slipping the 1st stitch; this will make the bodice 25 inches round the waist, if required more or less, these 64 rows can be added to or reduced.
