KNITTED BERRIES
Little bunches of knitted berries in bright colours are most attractive, and can be made very easily from small balls of wool to match your jumpers or coats. Red berries with green stalks are very pretty, or autumn shades with brown stalks The size may be varied by using thicker wool or larger needles. These are made with red 4-ply wool and two No. 11 bone needles. Cast on three stitches and work in stocking stitch, increasing the stitch at each end of every knit row until there are 11 stitches on your kneedlo. Then
clccroaso one stitch at each end of every knit row until there are only three stitches loft again. Cast off. Make up the berries with purl side out. Thread a darning needle with red wool, run round knitting, and draw up, stuffing firmly with the same coloured wool. Pull up tightly and finish off. With greon wool make five little points on top (like a lazy daisy flower), and add a stalk, which can bo chain stitch, twisted wool, or a singlo strand of wool left when finishing off. About a dozen berries mako an effective bunch.
