Circular Mat

Circular Mat

A mat five inches in diameter requires two and one-half yards of round web (made using two pegs on a spool knitter).

Start sewing with the piece of worsted hanging from the end of the web.

Coil and sew in place by taking up the underhalf of a stitch on the right, then the underhalf of a stitch on the left side usually called "ball stitch." Continue alternating from right to left, taking up one stitch at a time except when it is necessary to widen; then sew two stitches of the web into one in the mat.

Run the end of sewing thread back in the sewing to fasten it. When starting with a new sewing thread, put the needle in one inch back from where sewing ended and run it through the work to where the last stitch was taken.
