The writer feels confident in the +recommendation of "MY KNITTING BOOK," and humbly hopes it may meet with +the same liberal reception that has been accorded to her "HAND-BOOK OF +NEEDLEWORK." + +The numerous piracies that have been committed on her last mentioned +work, have been one inducement to publish this little volume; and from +the low price at which it is fixed, nothing, but a very extended +circulation, can ensure her from loss. Some few of the examples have +been selected from the chapter on knitting, in the "HAND-BOOK." + + _3, New Burlington Street_, + _November 1843._ + + + + +CONTENTS. + + + EXPLANATION OF TERMS USED IN KNITTING 9 + THE STANDARD FILIERE 12 + SIBERIAN CUFFS 13 + A KNITTED SILK CUFF 13 + OPEN STITCH FOR CUFFS 14 + VERY PRETTY CUFFS 14 + MUFFATEES WITH TWO COLOURS 16 + GENTLEMEN'S MUFFATEES 17 + PLAIN RIBBED MUFFATEES 17 + ANOTHER PAIR OF MUFFATEES 18 + KNITTED CUFFS, SHELL PATTERN 18 + DOUBLE KNITTED CUFFS 20 + A BRIOCHE 21 + FRINGE PATTERN KNITTING 23 + AN OPERA CAP 24 + A SONTAG, OR CEPHALINE 26 + A BONNET CAP 28 + DOUBLE KNITTING FOR COMFORTERS, ETC. 29 + KNITTED LACE 29 + KNITTED INSERTION 31 + CORAL TRIMMING FOR A MUSLIN DRESS 32 + BARLEY-CORN STITCH 32 + A MUFF, IN COLOURS OF SABLE 33 + ANOTHER MUFF 34 + CLOSE STITCH FOR A WAISTCOAT, ETC 34 + LONG SLEEVES TO WEAR UNDER THE DRESS 35 + TWELVE PATTERNS FOR D'OYLEYS, TIDIES, ETC. 36 + I.--LEAF AND TRELLIS PATTERN 36 + II.--ROSE-LEAF PATTERN 40 + III.--POINT PATTERN 42 + IV.--GOTHIC PATTERN 43 + V.--SCOTCH PATTERN 44 + VI.--CHEVRON PATTERN 45 + VII.--VANDYKE PATTERN 46 + VIII.--LACE PATTERN 47 + IX.--FISH-BONE PATTERN 49 + X.--GERMAN PATTERN 49 + XI.--DIAMOND PATTERN 52 + XII.--SHELL PATTERN 53 + CABLE KNITTING 54 + A PURSE 55 + PRETTY STITCH FOR A PURSE 55 + A PENCE JUG, OR PURSE 56 + A STRONG PURSE 59 + A PRETTY OPEN STITCH FOR A PURSE 60 + OPEN STITCH PURSE WITH BEADS 61 + A PURSE IN FINE SILK 62 + HERRINGBONE, OR SHETLAND STITCH FOR A PURSE 62 + FIVE PRETTY PATTERNS FOR BAGS 63 + I.--DIAGONAL CHECK PATTERN BAG 63 + II.--LOZENGE PATTERN BAG 64 + III.--HEM-STITCH PATTERN BAG 65 + IV.--SPIDER PATTERN BAG 68 + V.--STRIPE PATTERN BAG 69 + A BAG, WITH BLACK OR GARNET BEADS 69 + KNITTED FRINGE 70 + VANDYKE BORDER 71 + A WARM HALF-SQUARE SHAWL 73 + A WARM DOUBLE KNITTED SCARF, IN TWO COLOURS 74 + A BORDER FOR A SHAWL OR QUILT 75 + RAISED KNITTING FOR A SHAWL 76 + A RUSSIAN SHAWL, IN BRIOCHE STITCH 77 + A LIGHT STITCH FOR A SHAWL 77 + STAR PATTERN SHAWL, IN TWO COLOURS 78 + BAREGE KNITTING FOR SHAWLS 79 + A SHETLAND KNITTED SCARF 80 + SHETLAND PATTERN FOR A SHAWL 82 + OTHER PATTERNS FOR SHAWLS 83 + DOUBLE DIAMOND STITCH FOR A QUILT 83 + A QUILT 84 + A LIGHT AND WARM COUNTERPANE 85 + CROSS STITCH PATTERN FOR A QUILT 86 + ANOTHER QUILT 88 + A QUILT, OR COUVRE-PIED, IN SQUARES 89 + A COVER FOR AN AIR PILLOW 92 + A BABY'S HOOD 92 + A BABY'S SOCK 97 + ANOTHER BABY'S SOCK 99 + A BABY'S STOCKING 100 + A CARRIAGE BOOT 102 + A DOUBLE-KNITTED NIGHT SOCK 104 + A FRILEUSE OR NECK TIPPET 106 + WHEEL PATTERN FOR TIDIES, ETC 106 + KNITTED CORAL 107 + HINTS ON KNITTING 107 + + + + +MY KNITTING BOOK. + + + + +Explanation of Terms used in Knitting. + + +_To cast on._--The first interlacement of the cotton on the needle. + +_To cast off._--To knit two stitches, and to pass the first over the +second, and so on to the last stitch, which is to be secured by drawing +the thread through. + +_To cast over._--To bring the cotton forward round the needle. + +_To narrow._--To lessen, by knitting two stitches together. + +_To seam._--To knit a stitch with the cotton before the needle. + +_To widen._--To increase by making a stitch, bringing the cotton round +the needle, and knitting the same when it occurs. + +_A turn._--Two rows in the same stitch, backwards and forwards. + +_To turn._--To change the stitch. + +_To turn over._--To bring the wool forward over the needle. + +_A row._--The stitches from one end of the needle to the other. + +_A round._--A row, when the stitches are on two, three, or more needles. + +_A plain row._--That composed of simple knitting. + +_To pearl a row._--To knit with the cotton before the needle. + +_To rib._--To work alternate rows of plain and pearl knitting. + +_To bring the thread forward._--To bring the cotton forward so as to +make an open stitch. + +_A loop stitch._--Made by bringing the cotton before the needle, which, +in knitting the succeeding stitch, will again take its own place. + +_To slip or pass a stitch._--To change it from one needle to the other +without knitting it. + +_To fasten on._--The best way to fasten on is to place the two ends +contrariwise, and knit a few stitches with both together. For knitting, +with silk, or fine cotton, a _weaver's_ knot will be found the best. + +_To take under._--To pass the cotton from one needle to the other, +without changing its position. + +_Pearl, seam, and rib-stitch_--All signify the same. + +N.B. The _sizes_ of the _needles_ are given according to the _Standard +Filiere_. + + * * * * * + +The following engraving represents the _Standard Filiere_, or knitting +and netting needle gauge, an instrument invented some time since by the +authoress, and now in general use, by which the different sizes of +knitting and netting needles can be ascertained with the greatest +accuracy. + +[Illustration: The Standard Filiere.] + +It is necessary, in giving or following directions for knitting, to +caution knitters to observe a medium in their work--not knitting either +too loose or too tight. + + + + +Siberian Cuffs. + + +Nine shades of German wool, used double, will be required.--No. 8 +needles. + +Cast on sixty-four stitches with the darkest shade;--knit three plain +rows. + +_Fourth row_--bring the wool forward, knit two together. + +Repeat these four rows, (which form the pattern), nine times,--taking a +lighter shade of wool each time. + + + + +A Knitted Silk Cuff. + + +Coarse black netting silk.--Four needles, No. 22. Cast on twenty-eight +stitches on each of three needles:--knit two plain rounds. + +_Third round_--bring the silk forward, slip one; knit one; pass the +slipped stitch over it; knit one; pearl one. + +Repeat the third round, until the cuff be of the depth required; +then,--knit two plain rounds to correspond with the commencement. + + + + +Open Stitch for Cuffs. + + +With coarse silk.--Four needles, No. 22. + +Cast on any even number of stitches, on each of three needles. + +_First round_--knit two together. + +_Second round_--bring the silk forward, knit one. + +_Third round_--plain knitting. + +Repeat from the first round. + + + + +Very Pretty Cuffs. + + +Two colours are generally used--say red and white. They are prettiest in +four-thread embroidery fleecy, or German wool.--Two needles No. 16, and +two No. 20, will be required. + + Cast on forty-six stitches. } + Bring the wool forward, knit two together. } white. + Knit six plain rows. } + + Knit six plain rows. } + Bring the wool forward, knit two together. } red. + Knit six plain rows. } + + Knit six plain rows. } + Bring the wool forward, knit two together. } white. + Knit six plain rows. } + + Knit six plain rows. } + Bring the wool forward, knit two together. } red. + Knit six plain rows. } + + Knit six plain rows. } white. + Bring the wool forward, knit two together. } + +Take double wool, and needles double the size. + + Knit one plain row. } + Pearl one row. } + Knit two plain rows. } white. + Pearl one row. } + Knit one row. } + + Knit one plain row. } red. + Pearl one row. } + +Repeat these two red and white stripes, alternately, four times, and +finish with the two stitches together, as at the commencement. + +The cuffs, when finished, roll over at the top. + + + + +Muffatees with two Colours. + + +German wool,--three needles, No. 25. The prettiest colours are cerise +and brown;--commencing with the brown. Cast on eighty-eight stitches, +viz.--thirty on each of two needles, and twenty-eight on the +third.--Knit four rounds,--two stitches of each alternately pearl and +plain. + +Knit one plain round. + +Pearl three rounds. + +The above is all with one colour,--the brown. + +Take off two stitches without knitting; knit six with the +cerise.--Repeat, alternately, to the end of the round. + +The next nine rounds are the same. + +Knit one plain round with the brown. + +Pearl three rounds. + +Commence again with the cerise,--knitting four stitches only at the +beginning of the round;--then take off two stitches, and knit six, +alternately, as before. + +These cuffs may be worked to any desired length, finishing off the same +as at the commencement. + + + + +Gentlemen's Muffatees. + + +Cast on fifty-four stitches, in double German wool.--No. 14 needles. + +_First row_--bring the wool forward, slip one; knit two +together.--Repeat. + +Every row is the same,--the first and last stitches being plain. When +finished they are to be sewn up. + + + + +Plain Ribbed Muffatees. + + +Four needles will be required. + +Cast on each of three needles, eighteen or twenty-four stitches, +according to the size desired. + +_First round_--knit three; pearl three;--alternately. + +_Second and succeeding rounds_--repeat the first. + + + + +Another Pair of Muffatees. + + +Three-thread fleecy, or Zephyr wool.--No. 13 needles. + +Cast on thirty-six stitches. + +Knit twenty plain stitches, and sixteen in double knitting. + +When they are sufficiently large, knit or sew them up. The double +knitting comes over the hand, the plain knitting setting tight to the +wrist. + + + + +Knitted Cuffs, Shell Pattern. + + +These may be made either with silk, cotton, or fine wool.--Needles No. +22. + +Cast thirty stitches on each of two needles, and forty on a third;--knit +one plain round. + +_Second round_--pearl one; pass the silk back, knit one; pearl one; +bring the silk forward, knit one, by which you make a loop +stitch;--repeat this five times, which, with the loop stitch, will make +thirteen from the last pearled stitch. Commence the pattern again, as at +beginning of round. + +_Third round_--pearl one; knit one; pearl one; slip one; knit one, pass +the slip-stitch over it; knit nine; knit two together.--Repeat to the +end of the round. + +_Fourth round_--same as third, except that there will be only seven +plain stitches to knit. + +_Fifth round_--same as third, with only five plain stitches. + +There will now be the same number of stitches on the needles as at the +commencement, viz.--seven for the shell part of the pattern, and three +for the division. + +Knit one plain round, except on the three division stitches, which are +to be knitted as before. + +Commence again as at second round. When the cuffs are of sufficient +length, knit a plain round to correspond with the beginning. + +The prettiest way of knitting these cuffs will be to work the first +pattern in cerise;--the next five in white; the next five, alternately +in cerise and white; then five in white; and finish with one in cerise. + + + + +Double Knitted Cuffs. + + +These cuffs are prettiest in single German wool; two colours are +required,--say claret and white. They will take sixteen skeins of white +wool and eight of claret--No. 13 needles. + +Cast on forty-six stitches in claret,--pearl four rows. Pearl one row +white; in the next--bring the wool forward, knit two together:--repeat +these two rows of white, twice,--making altogether six rows. The four +rows of claret in pearl knitting, and the six rows of white, are now to +be repeated, alternately, until six stripes of each are worked. Then,-- + +Pick up seventy stitches in claret, on the right side, at one of the +narrow ends, and pearl one row. Repeat the six rows of white,--finishing +with the four rows of claret, and cast off. + +Repeat the same at the other end of the cuff,--observing that the +knitting of the frill is to be on the wrong side. + +Sew up the cuffs, and double them, so as to allow the frill, at the one +end, to appear above that at the other. + + + + +A Brioche[A]. + + +The _Brioche_ knitting-stitch is simply--bring the wool forward, slip +one; knit two together. + +A Brioche is formed of sixteen straight narrow stripes, and sixteen wide +stripes, the latter gradually decreasing in width towards the top or +centre of the cushion. It may be made in three-thread fleecy, or double +German wool, with ivory or wooden pins, No. 8. + +Cast on ninety stitches, in black, for the narrow stripe; knit two +turns;--then, three turns in gold colour, and two turns again in black. +This completes the narrow stripe. + +The conical stripe is knitted as follows:--bring the wool forward, knit +two together, twice, and turn; knit these two, and two more of the black +and turn; continue this,--taking each time two more stitches of the +black, until within two stitches of the top, and turn; the wool will now +be at the bottom or wide part of the stripe. Commence again with the +black, as in the former narrow stripe, knitting the two black stitches +at the top. It may be also as well to diminish the narrow stripes by +turning when within two stitches of the top, in the centre row of gold +colour. + +By a _turn_ is meant one row and back again. + +The colours for the conical stripes may be any two or four colours, +which assort well together; or each may be different. When the last +conical stripe is finished, it is to be knitted to the first narrow +stripe.--The brioche is to be made up with a stiff bottom of mill board, +about eight inches in diameter, covered with cloth. The top is drawn +together, and fastened in the centre with a tuft of soft wool, or a cord +and tassels. It should be stuffed with down or fine combed wool. + + [A] So called from its resemblance, in shape, to the well known + French cake of that name. + + + + +Fringe Pattern Knitting. + + +Cast on any even number of stitches, in German wool--No. 10 needles. + +Turn the wool round the needle, bringing it in front again; knit two +together, taken in front. + +Every row is the same. + + + + +An Opera Cap. + + +No. 10 needles--Double German wool, or three-thread fleecy. + +Cast on eighty stitches,--white. + + Pearl one row, } white. + Knit one row, } + +Pearl one row,--coloured. In the next row,-- + +Bring the wool before the needle, and knit two stitches together. + + Pearl one row, } white. + Knit one row, } + + Pearl one row, } white. + Knit one row, } + +The above forms the border. + + +_First division_--coloured. + +Pearl one row. + +Knit one row, decreasing one stitch at each end. + +Knit one row. + +Knit a fancy row, by bringing the wool forward, and knitting two +stitches together. + + +_Second_--white. + +Pearl one row, decreasing one stitch at each end. + +Knit one row, decreasing two stitches at each end. + +Knit one row, decreasing one stitch at each end. + +Knit a fancy row as before. + + +_Third_--coloured. + +Pearl one row, decreasing one stitch at each end. + +Knit one row, decreasing one stitch at each end. + +Knit one row, _without_ decreasing. + +Knit the fancy row as before. + + +_Fourth_, _Fifth_, _Sixth_, _Seventh_-- + +The third division is to be repeated, alternately with white and +coloured wool. + + +_Eighth_--white. _Ninth_--coloured. + +In these two last divisions, only two stitches are to be decreased in +each; this is to be done in the row after the pearl,--decreasing one +stitch at each end. + +N.B. There should be forty-six stitches left on the needle in the last +row. + +Pick up thirty stitches on each side, and make the borders at the sides +and back like that in front. + +Make up the cap by turning in the border to the fancy row, and hem it +all round: it is to be tied behind, and under the chin, with ribbons or +plaited wool, with tassels of the same. + + + + +A Sontag, or Cephaline + + +The border for this cap is worked the same as the preceding,--casting on +one hundred and two stitches;--single German wool;--No. 15 needles. + +Knit one row in white, to bring the pearl on the right side. Then,-- + +With the darkest shade, bring the wool round the needle, pearl two +together; pearl one.--Repeat to the end of the row. + +In the next row--bring the wool forward, knit two together; knit +one.--Repeat to the end of the row. + +Knit forty-two rows in the same manner, taking in one stitch at the end +of almost every row, so that the number of stitches in the last row is +reduced to seventy-two, taking care to keep the pattern regular, and +changing the colour every two rows. + +Take up forty stitches, on each side, and knit one row of white round +all the three sides: knit another row to make the pearl, and finish the +border with white and coloured wool, as in the preceding cap. Finish +with ribbons, or cords and tassels. + +The border is knitted in white, and the middle shade of whatever colour +is used in the head piece. This is prettiest in five distinct shades of +any colour, with one or two rows of white between each division of +shade. + + + + +A Bonnet Cap. + + +Cast on ninety stitches, in hair-brown German wool, for border.--No. 16 +needles. + +_First, second, and third rows_--plain knitting. + +_Fourth row_--bring the wool forward, knit two together. Then,-- + +Commence with another colour--say white. + +_Fifth, sixth, and seventh rows_--plain knitting. + +_Eighth row_--bring the wool forward, knit two together. + +Repeat these last four rows seven times: then the brown border as +before. They form a band of about four inches wide, which is to be drawn +up at the two ends, and strings attached to tie it close to the chin. + +Then, cast on forty stitches and commence another band with the brown +border as above,--three rows of the pattern in white, and repeat the +brown border. This is to be sewn or knitted on to the head piece, and +forms the band for the back. A ribbon is to be run through it, to tie it +close to the head. + + + + +Double Knitting for Comforters, etc. + + +Large-sized needles, No. 1, and four-thread fleecy, will be required. + +Cast on any even number of stitches. + +_First row_--bring the wool forward, slip one; pass the wool back, knit +one, turning the wool twice round the needle.--Repeat to the end of the +row. + +Every succeeding row is the same.--The stitch knitted in one row, is the +slip-stitch in the next. + + + + +Knitted Lace. + + +Cast on twelve stitches with very fine cotton, or thread.--No. 25 +needles. + +_First row_--slip one; knit two; pearl one; knit two together; turn the +thread once round the needle, knit two; pearl one; knit one; turn the +thread once round the needle, knit two, taken together at the back. + +_Second row_--slip one; knit one; turn the thread twice round the +needle, knit two; pearl two together; turn the thread once round the +needle, knit one; pearl two together; turn the thread twice round the +needle, pearl two together; knit one. + +_Third row_--slip one; knit two; pearl one; knit two; turn the thread +once round the needle, knit two together, taken at the back; knit one; +knit two together; knit three. + +_Fourth row_--slip one; turn the thread once round the needle; pearl +one; knit two together; turn the thread once round the needle, knit +four; pearl two together; turn the thread twice round the needle, pearl +two together; knit one. + +_Fifth row_--slip one; knit two; pearl one; knit two; knit two together; +turn the thread twice round the needle, knit three; pearl two together; +knit one. + +_Sixth row_--slip one; knit one, pass the slip-stitch over it; slip one; +knit one, pass the slip-stitch over it; slip one; knit one, pass the +slip-stitch over it; slip one; knit two; turn the thread once round the +needle, pearl two together; turn the thread once round the needle, pearl +two together; knit one; turn the thread twice round the needle, pearl +two together; knit one. + +There should now be twelve stitches on the needle as at the +commencement.--Repeat from the first row. + + + + +Knitted Insertion. + + +Cast on nine stitches in fine cotton; No. 23 needles. + +Slip one; knit two; bring the cotton forward, knit two together; knit +one; bring the cotton forward, knit two together; pearl one.--Repeat. + +This may be used for trimming muslin curtains, etc. + + + + +Coral Trimming for a Muslin Dress. + + +Cast on two stitches.--No. 2 needles, rather short. + +Turn the wool round the needle, so as to bring it in front again; knit +the two stitches, take together in the front. + +Every row is the same. + + + + +Barley-corn Stitch. + + +Cast on any uneven number of stitches, with eight-thread Zephyr fleecy, +or double German wool, and No. 2 needles. + +Slip the first stitch, keeping the wool in front of the needle; turn the +wool round the needle, so as to bring it in front again; knit two +together, taken in front. Continue turning the wool round the needle, +and knitting two together, to the end of the row.

Every row is the same. + + + + +Star Pattern Shawl, in Two Colours. + + +Cast on four stitches in blue Zephyr wool, or four-thread fleecy.--No. 6 +needles. + +_First row_--bring the wool forward, knit one,--(these two stitches form +the increase, and therefore are _not_ to be _repeated_); bring the wool +forward, slip one; knit two, pass the slip-stitch over them.--Repeat the +same to the end of the row. + +_Second row_--pearl knitting in claret. + +_Third row_--the same as first,--in blue. + +_Fourth row_--the same as second,--in claret. + +Repeat these rows alternately, in blue and claret, until there are one +hundred and eighty stitches on the needle; cast off, and finish with a +netted fringe. + +As the increasing adds an irregular stitch, some rows will have one, and +others two knitted stitches, at their commencement. + + + + +Barege Knitting for Shawls. + + +Commence with any number of stitches that may be divided by three.--No. +4 needles, finest _Lady Betty's_ wool.--Knit one plain row. + +_Second row_--bring the wool forward, knit three; bring the wool +forward, knit three together, taking them off at the back. + +_Third row_--pearl knitting. + +_Fourth row_--bring the wool forward, knit three together, taking them +off at the back; bring the wool forward, knit three. + +_Fifth row_--pearl knitting. + +Repeat from the second row. + +When a pattern, in one or more colours, is to be introduced, break off +the ground colour, and fasten on the colour next to be used, in the +following manner.--Having made a slip knot in the end of the wool, pass +it on the needle in the left hand: twist the end of the coloured wool +and that of the ground, together,--knit, in plain knitting, the +stitches required for the pattern, then fasten off, by making a loop, +and commence again with the ground colour,--fastening on again as above. +Any number of colours may thus be introduced, to form flowers or other +patterns, which, however, are always to be done in plain knitting. + + + + +A Shetland Knitted Scarf. + + +Commence with the pattern for the border, by casting on one hundred +stitches for the width of the scarf.--No. 7 needles, and four-thread +embroidery, or _Lady Betty's_ wool. + +_First row_--knit two stitches together, four times; bring the wool +forward, knit one, eight times; knit two stitches together, four times; +pearl one.--Repeat to the end of the row. + +_Second row_--pearl knitting. + +_Third row_--plain knitting. + +_Fourth row_--pearl knitting. + +Repeat from the first row, until the pattern be about fourteen inches +deep. Commence the centre as follows:--working one row of pearl +knitting, before the pattern commences. + +_First row_--bring the wool forward, slip one; knit one, pass the slip +stitch over it; knit one; pearl one.--Repeat to the end of the row. + +_Second and following rows_--repeat the first,--every row being alike. + +If the wool be split, it exactly imitates the Shetland wool. In +splitting, the wool will frequently break; but this is not important, as +by laying the ends contrariwise, and twisting them together, a few +stitches may be so knit, that the joins are not perceptible. + +Both ends of the scarf are to be made alike, by reversing the knitting +of the border. They may be finished with a tied, knitted, or netted +fringe, of the same wool, without splitting, or of fine German wool. + + + + +Shetland Pattern for a Shawl. + + +This should be worked in _Lady Betty's_ wool, or four-thread embroidery +fleecy, with No. 6 or 8 needles. + +Cast on any number of stitches that may be divided by six. + +_First row_--bring the wool forward, knit one; bring the wool forward, +knit one;--slip one; knit two together, pass the slip-stitch over them; +knit one. + +_Second row_--pearl knitting. + +_Third row_--bring the wool forward, knit three; bring the wool forward, +slip one; knit two together, pass the slip-stitch over them. + +_Fourth row_--pearl knitting. + +_Fifth row_--knit one; slip one; knit two together, pass the slip-stitch +over them; knit one; bring the wool forward, knit one; bring the wool +forward. + +_Sixth row_--pearl knitting. + +_Seventh row_--slip one; knit two together, pass the slip-stitch over +them; bring the wool forward, knit three; bring the wool forward. + +_Eighth row_--pearl knitting. + +N.B.

The two last stitches at the end of the row are to be--the first +pearled,--the second knitted. + + + + +A light and warm Counterpane. + + +Six-thread fleecy in two colours--say blue and white; or, what is +preferable, German quilt wool--Needles No. 2, pointed at both ends. + +Cast on any number of stitches in blue. + +_First row_--plain knitting, turning the wool twice round the needle. + +_Second row_--join on the white wool, knit one; knit two together, +turning the wool twice round the needle;--continue knitting two +together, and turning the wool twice round the needle, to the end of the +row, but plain knit the last stitch. + +_Third row_--commence at the other end of the needle; knit two stitches +taken together in front, twisting the wool twice round the needle. + +_Fourth row_--white,--knit one; knit two together, turning the wool +twice round the needle; knit one. + +_Fifth row_--commence again as at third row. + + + + +Cross Stitch Pattern for a Quilt. + + +Two colours,--say gold colour and white.--No. 3 needles, pointed at both +ends.--Cast on any number of stitches. + +_First row_--white,--knit one plain stitch, turning the wool twice round +the needle.--Repeat to the end of the row. + +_Second row_--gold colour,--joining on the colour where the last row of +white commenced;--knit one plain stitch, turning the wool once round the +needle; knit the long stitch and the one that was knitted in the last +row together, turning the wool twice round the needle.--Repeat to the +end of the row,--when one stitch will be left, which is to be knitted +the same as the plain stitch at the beginning of the row. + +_Third row_--white,--knit two together, taken in the front, turning the +wool twice round the needle.--Repeat to the end of the row. + +_Fourth row_--gold colour,--the same as the third,--knitting one plain +stitch at the commencement of the row, and one plain stitch at the end +of the row, twisting the wool once round the needle. + +_Fifth row_--white,--knit two together, twisting the wool twice round +the needle.--Repeat to the end of the row. + +_Sixth row_--Commence again, as at second row. + +It may be as well to remark, that two rows are knitted at the back, and +two at the front. + + + + +Another Quilt. + + +This should be knitted in stripes of six inches in width.--Cast on any +number of stitches that may be divided by three;--German quilt +wool.--No. 1 needles. + +_First row_--bring the wool forward, slip one; knit two, pass the +slip-stitch over them.--Repeat. + +_Second row_--pearl knitting. + +_Third row_--knit two, before the pattern is commenced, that the holes +may come in a diagonal direction. + +_Fourth row_--pearl knitting. + +_Fifth row_--same as third. + + + + +A Quilt, or Couvre-Pied, in squares. + + +This may be worked with Zephyr fleecy,--No. 9 needles, each piece being +about three and a half inches square.

Each square, +however, if preferred, may be worked the same. The following directions +are for a square in green and white:-- + +_First row_--bring the wool forward, knit one,--in green.

In +most knitting, the edge-stitch is slipped. + +It is easiest to learn to knit, by holding the wool over the fingers of +the left hand; the position of the hands is more graceful when thus +held. + +It is always advisable to cast off loosely. + +When it is requisite to cast off, and continue the row on a separate +needle, it is sometimes better to run a coarse silk through the cast off +stitches; they are easily taken up, when required, and the inconvenience +of the idle needle is avoided. + +In knitting, when a pattern is spoken of, it means as many rows as form +the pattern. + + +THE END. + + + + +_Just published, in post 8vo. elegantly bound, price 10s. 6d. carefully +revised, and considerably enlarged, with additional Woodcuts of +Patterns, etc._ + + The Third Edition + + OF THE + + HAND-BOOK OF NEEDLEWORK, + + BEING A COMPLETE GUIDE TO EVERY KIND OF DECORATIVE + NEEDLEWORK, CROCHET, KNITTING, AND NETTING, + WITH A BRIEF HISTORICAL ACCOUNT + OF EACH ART. + + BY + + MISS LAMBERT. + + +Contents: + +CHAP. + + I.

"The Praise of the Needle." + +WITH ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN ILLUSTRATIVE ENGRAVINGS ON WOOD, OF +PATTERNS, IMPLEMENTS, ETC. + + +CRITICAL NOTICES OF THE WORK. + +"One of Mr. MURRAY'S series of Handbooks, which seem destined to embrace +all the arts of life as well as all the sights in the world. Miss +LAMBERT'S treatise is one of practical utility, its information being +the product of experience: after sketching the history of needlework, it +proceeds to describe the various kinds of materials used, such as wool, +silk, gold thread, beads, &c.; the canvas, patterns, frames, and +implements, required; the different kinds of stitches; the mode of +working certain patterns and shapes; the processes of embroidery, +knitting, and netting. The volume is very handsomely got up, and +illustrated profusely with wood-cuts; nothing seems wanting to its +completeness."--_Spectator._ + +"We venture to recommend it as containing a great deal of practical +information respecting embroidery, frame work, knitting, netting, +braiding, bead work, and other profound mysteries, of which we, of the +uglier sex, know nothing.... We soon became interested in the historical +portion, which is gracefully and well written--so that the work is a +good book, instructive when the party consulting it desires instruction, +and amusing whenever she is weary of work. MISS LAMBERT observes in her +Preface, that she has endeavoured, and we will add successfully, 'to +embrace those subjects which appeared most worthy of notice in a +Treatise on Decorative Needlework, and by combining a brief historical +sketch, with a detailed account of the practice of each department, to +render them more generally interesting than a mere manual of directions +and examples.'"--_Athenaeum._ + +"This is the most curious, complete, and erudite treatise on the art of +needlework that has, probably, ever been compiled.... The variety, +fulness, and systematic arrangement of the book, not to say one word +about its numerous engravings, and the remarkably elegant style in which +it is 'gotten up,' demand unmixed applause."--_Atlas._ + +"A very elegant and useful work. The directions how to ply the needle +are plain and easy of comprehension, and the plates which accompany the +letterpress and illustrate the designs, will be found of great +assistance to the ready acquirement of the art and its numerous +principles. The ample instructions for drawing patterns, purchasing +implements, framing, and properly finishing work, will be found not the +least available portion of the book."--_Literary Gazette._ + +"An eminently practical work; clear in its explanation, precise in its +directions, natural in its arrangements. The style is simple and easy; +the collateral information abundant. Its value is enhanced by historical +notices, which have been prepared with judgment and knowledge, and are +not disfigured by the slightest affectation."--_Polytechnic Review._ + +"The first edition of MISS LAMBERT'S 'HAND-BOOK' has been entirely sold +off, a better proof of its excellence than aught we could say in its +behalf; and a second edition has just appeared with an embossed cover, +which will render it an ornament to the drawing-room table, as well as +an object of utility from the nature of its contents. To this edition +several new patterns and engravings have been added, and additional +directions for crochet, knitting, netting, &c."--_Morning Post._ + +"The authoress seems to be thoroughly mistress of her craft, and has +produced not only a very instructive, but a very amusing volume upon a +branch of the fine arts now become again so fashionable....

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
