Some do so too loosely, others too tightly. In good +work the loops should just run easily on the needles. + +In order to secure your stocking being the right size, it will be well +before you start it to test your knitting by casting on 8 stitches and +knitting 8 rows. If, with Alloa yarn and No. 12 needles, the knitting +measures about a square inch, your stocking will work out medium size. +If, however, the square is much larger or smaller, then alter the size +of needles to suit your knitting, taking bigger or smaller needles as +required. _This is a very important point to attend to._ The +directions given are for a medium-sized stocking, both in length and +width. Any one who has knitted a stocking by them will see at _once_ +how easy it is to enlarge or diminish the size. + + +_How to join Wool_ + +Never make a knot, but knit a few stitches with both wools. The extra +thickness never shows, and the ends may be cut off close with +impunity. + + +_Raising_ + +It is helpful and saves much counting, if, when you raise or decrease, +you knit along with the wool, on that stitch _only_, a piece of fine +white wool or thread. It is easily withdrawn afterwards, but it +enables you to see at a glance which is your back needle, and the last +time you raised or decreased. + +You _raise_, by putting your needle before knitting next stitch +through the loop below, in reality the stitch of the last round, and +drawing the wool through it. You must be very careful not to make a +hole, a slight twist as you take up the stitch prevents this. + + +_Tops in Fingering_ + +When you knit with two wools, carrying them on at the back, the +knitting is much more even if one colour, say the dark, is knitted +with wool from right hand in the usual English way, but keep the +lighter coloured wool over finger on _left_ hand, and take it up as +the Germans always knit. This sounds troublesome, but is really quite +easy with a little practice. + +Another simple but useful direction in knitting with wool carried on +at the back I must give. + +When you knit 6 or more stitches with one colour, to avoid too long a +loop at the back, which is apt to get pulled, at the 3rd or 4th stitch +lay the wool you are _not_ using level with your needle so as to come +above or rather _between_ the needle and the wool you are going to +knit with. When the stitch is knitted, you will find the wool caught +lightly through at the back. + + + + +KNICKERBOCKER STOCKING WITH FANCY TOP. NO. 1. + + +_Required._--4 needles No. 12, tested by Walker's Bell Gauge, 3 cuts +of Alloa yarn (heather mixture), 1/2 cut of red to correspond. + +K stands for knit, P for purl. + +With heather mixture cast on 78 stitches, 26 on each needle. Knit 4 +rounds of k 1, p 1 alternately. + +Purl two rounds. + +In the next round you use the two colours alternately. Don't break off +the wool until directed to do so. + +[Illustration] + +1st pattern round.--With red wool, k 4. Heather wool k 2, but in +knitting these put the wool _twice_ round the needle instead of once +as in ordinary knitting; this is done to lengthen the stitch. Repeat. + +2nd round.--_Red_ wool, k 4, slip the 2 knitted stitches on to the +same needle, letting the wool drop to make a long stitch.

Break off red wool. + +With heather wool k 1, p 1 alternately every round until your stocking +measures, from casting on, a length of _six_ inches. + + +_Stocking Leg_ + +Before beginning to rib the stocking leg, you must turn what you have +knitted inside out to make the fancy top fall over correctly. Do this +and arrange your stitches as follows. Place 31 on 1st needle, which +will be called the _back_ or heel needle, 24 on the 2nd, 23 on the 3rd +needle. + +1st round.--P 2, k 2, p 2, k 2, p 2, k 3, knit 2 together, k 3, knit 2 +together, k 1, *, p 2, k 2, p 2, k 2, p 2, k 9, repeat from *. + +You will have 29 stitches on back needle, 76 in all. + +2nd round.--* P 2, k 2, p 2, k 2, p 2, k 9, repeat from *. + +This ribbing broad and narrow alternately is carried down the leg.

On a 3rd needle purl the 2 +stitches left, and with it take up, and as you take up knit 17 +stitches down other side of heel, also knit on to it 8 stitches off +the 1st side needle; these 8 are the half of the heel stitches left +after rounding it. + +Count loops on your needles.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. 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. |
