At least they probably would have been jealous if they had -not planned to surprise Mary Frances with some delightful lessons in -crocheting and knitting. Such good lessons they were that almost before -she knew it, Mary Frances had made the loveliest caps and sweaters and -bootees for her dolls—just exactly the kinds you want for your own -dolls. And you can have them if you wish, for Mary Frances says that -the Knitting People told her that they are always just as ready to help -any other girl who wants their help—if she will follow the lessons -exactly as they are given in this book. - -She says, too, that after a girl has learned to crochet and knit for -dolls, it is “just as easy as a-b-c” to crochet and knit for real -people; and that knitting articles for soldier boys and fathers and -mothers makes a person feel of very much account. - -It is in the hope that you will enjoy these new adventures as much as -Mary Frances did, that this book is sent out to the girls of America -with the best wishes of - - THE AUTHOR. - _Merchantville, N.

They spoke together. - -When they did not speak together they always repeated what each other -said. You see, they were twins. One was named Knit and the other was -named Knack. - -“And I will teach her to crochet,” said the big crochet hook just as -proudly. - -“Knitting is a much older art than crocheting,” said Knit. - -“Knitting is a much older art than crocheting,” repeated Knack. - -[Illustration: “We will teach him to knit.”] - -“Knit!” exclaimed Crow Shay Hook. “It is not!” - -[Illustration: “Knit! It is not!”] - -“How can you prove that?” asked Knit. - -“How can you prove that?” asked Knack. - -“Easily!” answered Crow Shay. “Crocheting is making knots. Knots were -made by people before they ever thought of weaving. Knitting is a sort -of weaving, you know. Knotting is not, you know.” - -“To tell the honest truth,” a new voice spoke, “I do not believe any of -you know what you are talking about; but I could tell you a story—” and -the big ball of yarn rolled over nearer the group of needles. - -[Illustration: “To tell the honest truth”] - -“Oh, spare us, Wooley Ball!” begged all the needles. “We don’t want to -hear any more yarns.” - -“It is easy to see,” went on Wooley Ball, pretending not to notice -their impoliteness, “that for most people crocheting is more easily -learned than knitting. Therefore it seems best that Crow Shay should -begin the lessons.” - -“What’s that?” The Yarn Baby suddenly sat up, her hair standing out -straight on her head. It always stood up straight and stiff when she -was excited. “You know very well, Wooley Ball, that I was chosen to -direct these lessons.” - -[Illustration: “What’s that?”] - -“Please excuse me?” begged Wooley Ball. “I am always so interested in -knitting and crocheting that sometimes I forget myself, I fear.” - -The Yarn Baby’s hair slowly settled back into place. She smoothed and -patted it down carefully. - -“It so happens that I felt that Crow Shay had best commence the -lessons,” she said. - -Crow Shay glanced over at the Knitting Twins. - -“Get the hook!” laughed the Knitting Needles. “We shall have lots of -fun listening to the crocheting lessons.” - -“All right,” cried Wooley Ball to Crow Shay; “let’s get ready, Hookey. -I’ll chase you into the Red Cross knitting bag!” and away hopped Crow -Shay, while the big ball rolled after him. Right down into the bottom -of the big bag they landed and Crow Shay cuddled up close to Wooley -Ball. - -[Illustration: Into the Red Cross knitting bag.] - -“We shall have a splendid time with Miss Mary Frances, don’t you think, -Wooley Ball?” asked Crow Shay. - -“Indeed we shall,” said Wooley Ball warmly. “If we begin to have the -fun the Thimble People had, we shall feel very happy.” - -[Illustration: She smoothed it down carefully.] - -[Illustration: “But don’t you remember?”] - - - - -CHAPTER II - -AUNT MARIA STEPS IN - - -FOR a long time Wooley Ball and Crow Shay lay very still in the -knitting bag, hoping that Mary Frances would soon come into the room. - -At length Crow Shay began to move about restlessly. - -“Do be quiet,” whispered Wooley Ball softly. “If you don’t stop jumping -about, you’ll punch a hole in the bag!” - -[Illustration: Wooley Ball lay very still.] - -“I can’t keep still,” complained Crow Shay; “my foot’s asleep! My, how -it hurts!” - -“How does it feel?” asked Wooley Ball, in sympathy. - -[Illustration: Hoping Mary Frances would come.] - -“Just like tiny mosquito bites all over me which scratching won’t help.” - -“I guess you mean moth bites!” exclaimed Wooley Ball. - -“Will you two keep still?” said the Yarn Baby, tapping upon the -knitting bag with her soft little fist. “I think that I hear footsteps.” - - “Don’t speak to me now, - Don’t speak to me never; - And I will be quiet - Forever and ever!” - -sang Crow Shay, poking his little round head up through the top of the -bag. - -[Illustration: Poking his head up.] - -“Oh, are you going to be bad?” sighed the Yarn Baby. “Get down in -there!” She pushed his head down into the bag and tied it shut. - -“Now, he’s shut up,” she said, settling down beside the bag, and -smoothing her hair, which had begun to stand up. - -She was just in time, too, for as she finished putting the last strand -in place the door opened, and in stepped—Mary Frances’ Aunt Maria! - -[Illustration: “Will you two keep still?”] - -“For the land’s sake!” she exclaimed. “For the land’s sake! So that is -where Mary Frances left her knitting bag! I’ve hunted high and low for -it. I never thought to look on the floor!” - -She sat down on Mary Frances’ little rocking-chair and emptied Wooley -Ball and Crow Shay on her lap. - -“Very well,” she said, “these things will do to start with. I shall -begin her lessons to-night.” - -[Illustration: Wooley Ball and Crow Shay.] - -Just as she put them back into the bag, she spied the Yarn Baby. - -“I’ll put that silly doll in, too,” she said, tumbling the Yarn Baby -into the bag and pulling the drawing-strings tight. - -Then she carried the bag downstairs and out on the porch, where Mary -Frances sat in the porch swing reading a book. - -“It is high time, my dear,” she said, “that you learn to crochet and -knit. To-night I shall give you your first lesson. - -“Oh, won’t that be splendid, Aunt Maria?” cried the little girl. “I do -want to learn so much!” - -[Illustration: “Won’t that be splendid?”] - -“It seems very strange to me that you do not know anything about such -work,” said her aunt. “Why, I made your father learn how to knit when -he was only six years old!” - -Mary Frances did not tell her Aunt Maria that her father had told her -about those lessons, and how he had hated the work because, every time -he made a mistake, his aunt would whack his chubby, clumsy little -fingers with a ruler. - -[Illustration: Aunt Maria.] - -You see, Aunt Maria was Mary Frances’ great-aunt, and was the aunt of -her father also. Mary Frances’ grandmother, the mother of Mary Frances’ -father, died when he was a little boy and his Aunt Maria had “brought -him up.” - -“Mother would like to teach me,” said Mary Frances, “but——” - -“Your mother was not brought up right,” her aunt snapped. “What -does she know about crocheting? She doesn’t know star stitch from -coffee-bean stitch, and as for knitting—I don’t suppose she knows plain -knitting from purling! Very queer! A very queer way to bring up a -child!” - -[Illustration: “But don’t you remember?”] - -“But, Aunt Maria, don’t you remember? Mother fell and hurt her arm when -she was little and couldn’t use it for such work for years,” said Mary -Frances. “Even now it hurts her arm to try to crochet. That is what I -commenced to tell you.” - -[Illustration: “Even now it hurts her”] - -“Oh, yes,” said Aunt Maria, “I remember now. But your arm doesn’t hurt, -and you must learn to crochet and knit, my dear niece. You are so much -like me anyway that you must learn to crochet and knit well. Then you -may grow up to be almost exactly like me! Now, I must go set my bread. -Nothing ever interferes with my program except sickness or death. You -must be like me in that, too.” And the old lady went down the path. - -[Illustration: Mary Frances] - -At the gate she turned. “Remember,” she called, “I’ll be ready at seven -o’clock.” - -[Illustration: “Oh, he loves to crow—”] - - - - -CHAPTER III - -CROW SHAY TALKS - - -“OH, dear,” sighed Mary Frances. “Oh, dear, how I wish there were -crocheting and knitting people like the Kitchen People and the Thimble -People—only that would be too good to be true.” - -[Illustration: “Oh, dear!”] - - “Not at all, - Not at all; - Untie the bag - And see us all,” - -came a voice from the knitting bag which was beside Mary Frances in the -swing just where Aunt Maria had laid it. She picked it up and untied -the drawing-strings and up popped Crow Shay. - -[Illustration: Up popped Crow Shay.] - -The bright sunlight made him blink as he looked around. - - “Good day, good day, - To you we say— - Yarn Baby, Wooley Ball - And I, Crow Shay,” - -sang the little fellow, as Mary Frances lifted them out. - -[Illustration: Sang the little fellow.] - -“Oh, can you all talk?” she asked in delight. “Can they, Crow Shay?” - -“‘Can they crochet?’” repeated Crow Shay, “‘Can they crochet?’ Why, I -don’t think they can. They can only help. Crow Shay Hooks are the only -ones who really can crochet!” - -“Oh, I see,” said Mary Frances, even though she did not understand -exactly what he meant. - -By this time the Yarn Baby’s hair was standing on end. She looked so -wild that Mary Frances pretended to be frightened and began to move -away. - -[Illustration: “Do not be alarmed”] - -“Do not be alarmed, Miss Mary Frances,” said the Yarn Baby, trying to -smooth down her hair. “My hair always stands out that way when I get -excited. I was afraid some one might overhear Crow Shay talking, and -then all our lovely plans would be spoiled. Crow Shay always talks too -much, anyhow. You might think that he was appointed to take charge of -the lessons instead of me!” - -[Illustration: “Crow Shay always talks too much”] - -“Oh,” said Mary Frances, “I know what you wish to do! You want to give -me secret lessons in crocheting and knitting just as the Kitchen People -gave me lessons in cooking, and the Thimble People gave me lessons in -sewing! I’ll put you all back in the bag and carry you upstairs this -minute, and I do hope that you will begin the lessons right away!” - -[Illustration: “I know what you wish to do”] - -[Illustration: “Hush!” warned Wooley Ball.] - - - - -CHAPTER IV - -WOOLEY BALL TELLS SOME YARNS - - -MARY FRANCES opened the bag on the sewing table. - -“Is this the whole family?” she asked as she lifted the Yarn Baby, -Wooley Ball and Crow Shay out. - -[Illustration: Spoke up Crow Shay.] - - “Oh, no, indeed! - Oh, no indeed! - Wait till the rest of us - You’ve see’d,” - -spoke up Crow Shay. - -Up flew the Yarn Baby’s hair. - -[Illustration: “‘See’d,’ indeed!”] - -“‘See’d,’ indeed! ‘See’d,’ indeed! Do be more polite, Crow Shay!” she -exclaimed. “Use correct grammar and give some one else a chance to -speak!” - -[Illustration: “Do be more polite!”] - -Then she explained to Mary Frances about the large family of Crocheting -and Knitting People who were so anxious to help her. - -“Oh, I can’t wait to begin!” cried the delighted little girl. “What do -I do first?” - - “First you will a slip knot make; - Then in your right hand me you’ll take—” - -began Crow Shay. - -“Now, now,” exclaimed the Yarn Baby. “There you go again!” - -“Oh, he loves to crow—” said Wooley Ball, laughing. - -[Illustration: “Oh, he loves to crow—”] - -“You mean that I love to crochet, Wooley Ball!” Crow Shay turned toward -Wooley Ball. - -“Well, I think that Wooley Ball means that you love to crochet so much -that when you get a chance, you love to crow about it!” said the Yarn -Baby. “You do not wait to give anyone else a chance to talk. Now, the -very first person to explain lessons in crocheting and knitting is -Wooley Ball.” - -“Because she can tell so many yarns!” giggled Crow Shay. - -[Illustration: Giggled Crow Shay.] - -Wooley Ball looked up at Mary Frances with a broad smile. - -[Illustration: Wooley Ball looked up.] - -“Do not mind him,” she said. “If you are quite ready, we will have a -little talk about— - - -DIFFERENT YARNS - - There are many different weights and sizes of woolen - yarns. We shall need to know about only a few of these. - - All yarns are made of twisted strands of thread. The - weight depends upon the number and size of the strands - that are twisted together. - - If two strands are twisted together, the yarn is - two-fold. - - If three strands are twisted together, the yarn is - three-fold. - -[Illustration] - - If four strands are twisted together, the yarn is - four-fold. - - If you are uncertain of the “fold” of the yarn you - have, untwist a little piece and count the strands. - - -NAMES OF YARNS - - Germantown Zephyr or Germantown Wool. A soft woolly - yarn very much used where warmth is needed. - - Germantown wool comes in four-fold and eight-fold - weights. Four-fold is the weight generally used. The - eight-fold is too thick and heavy for most purposes. - -[Illustration: Hank of yarn.] - - Knitting Worsted is somewhat like Germantown wool in - weight, but is rather harsh to the touch, because - the threads are made of long twisted fibers of wool. - Garments made of knitting worsted will stand hard wear - and usage. - - Saxony Wool. A soft yarn made of light-weight strands. - Comes in two-fold, three-fold, and four-fold weights. - - The four-fold and two-fold are the weights most used. - Saxony wool is much used for making garments for babies. - -[Illustration: Wool in balls.] - - Woolen Knitting Floss. A light-weight, loosely-twisted - yarn. Comes in single and double threads. - - Teazle Yarn, or Teazle Wool, resembles knitting floss, - but is rougher and harsher in finish. It is more often - used for trimming than for making garments. - - Angora Wool is a hairy yarn used for trimming. It is - made entirely of the soft silky hair of the Angora - goat, or of a mixture of wool and Angora hair. It is so - expensive that Teazle yarn is much used in its stead. - After the trimming is made, the Teazle yarn is usually - brushed until it is quite furry and fuzzy. - -[Illustration: Needles.] - - There are many different makers of yarns. Each firm - manufactures a variety of yarns under various fancy - names. All manufacturers, however, make Germantown - Wool, Knitting Worsteds, Saxony Wools, Woolen Flosses, - and Teazle Wool. - -[Illustration: Mary Frances and the wools.] - -[Illustration: She only smiled.] - - - - -CHAPTER V - -SPEAKING OF MOTHS - - -“THERE!” exclaimed Crow Shay as Wooley Ball finished. “There! Hasn’t -Wooley Ball long yarns to spin?” - -[Illustration: “There!”] - -Mary Frances laughed. “You little chatterbox,” she said, “I really -believe that you are jealous!” - -“I certainly do love to talk,” said Crow Shay; “but I admit I can’t -tell about yarns the way Wooley Ball can.” - -Here the Yarn Baby interrupted. - -“If you will bring your chest of yarns, little Miss,” she said, “we -will soon see if you have all those different kinds of yarns.” - -[Illustration: “Bring your chest of yarns”] - -Mary Frances went to the closet, and brought the chest to the sewing -table. - -As she pulled out the bright-colored yarns, some small white balls fell -on the table. - -[Illustration: Small white balls.] - -“Oh, goody!” exclaimed Wooley Ball. “I see that you are not going to -let the moths eat up your treasures. Moths hate camphor and moth balls. -I just love them.” - -“Oh, I know about moths,” said Mary Frances. “I learned a sad lesson -about them. Once my aunt knit my doll a little——” - -“Did you say Knit?” came a little voice. - -“Did you say Knit?” came another little voice. - -[Illustration: “Did you say Knit?”] - -“Who was that?” asked Mary Frances. - -“Oh, that’s only Knit and Knack, the Knitting Twins,” answered Crow -Shay. - -He turned toward the table where they lay. - -“You two go to sleep again!” he said. “It’s not your turn yet.” - -By this time the Yarn Baby looked like a porcupine. Her hair stood out -so straight and stiff that Mary Frances was almost afraid to speak. - -“He will keep on until he will have to be punished,” whispered Wooley -Ball. - -“Yes,” said the Yarn Baby, “if he doesn’t stop crowing so much I will -not let him crochet.” - -That seemed to scare Crow Shay terribly, and he did not utter another -sound, but listened with all his ears. - -“You were speaking of moths,” Wooley Ball reminded Mary Frances. - -[Illustration: “Speaking of moths”] - -“Oh, yes—about the little coat which my aunt made for Angie, my doll. -I used it all winter and in the summer I folded it and put it away in -a little box. When the weather was cold again, and Angie needed it, I -took it out of the box and what do you think happened?” - -“I know!” declared Wooley Ball. “I know what happened. The little coat -fell to pieces when you picked it up. The moths had bitten it all over.” - -[Illustration: “The moths had bitten it all over”] - -“Yes, that’s exactly what happened,” said Mary Frances. “It taught me -never to put anything made of wool away without camphor or moth balls.” - -[Illustration: Neatly wound balls.] - - - - -CHAPTER VI - -CROW SHAY’S RELATIVES - - -WOOLEY BALL and the Yarn Baby looked over the yarns that Mary Frances -had put on the sewing table. - -“These are just right,” said the Yarn Baby. “You have every kind of -wool here that we shall need. Will you see that all the yarns are wound -into very, very loose balls before your next lesson?” - -[Illustration: “These are just right”] - -“Yes,” promised Mary Frances, “I will wind them over my hand the way -Aunt Maria does, so that the balls feel quite ‘spongey.’ I wish that -all yarns came from the factories wound in balls, though!” - -[Illustration: “Yes, I will”] - -“You are not the first person to wish that,” said the Yarn Baby. “Hanks -and skeins are much harder for a child to manage than balls. Now, if -you please, we will talk a few minutes about crochet hooks.” - -[Illustration: WIND YARNS OVER THE HAND] - -Crow Shay rolled his eyes toward the Yarn Baby, but did not say a word. - -[Illustration: “Come, Crow Shay”] - -“Come, Crow Shay,” said the Yarn Baby; “you may tell us about all your -little and big relatives.” - -Then Crow Shay began to tell about— - -[Illustration: Crow Shay began to tell.] - -CROCHET HOOKS AND KNITTING NEEDLES - - Crochet hooks and knitting needles are made of bone, - or celluloid (amber), or rubber, or wood. These are - usually made in sizes from 0 to 15, size 0 being the - smallest. - -[Illustration: OFF TO SCHOOL - -FOR DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING KNITTED ARTICLES SHOWN IN THIS ILLUSTRATION -SEE - -CROCHETED SCARF—69 CROCHETED GARTERS—242 HAIR PIN BALL—107 - -CROCHETED TURBAN (HAT)—99 CROCHETED BOOK BAG—118] - - Crochet hooks and knitting needles are also made of - steel. Steel crochet hooks usually come in sizes from 0 - to 14.[A] Size 0 is quite large. Size 14 is very small. - Steel knitting needles are usually numbered from 8 to - 20. Size 8 is large. Size 20 very fine. - - Steel hooks and needles are generally used for making - articles of cotton thread, and needles made of bone, - celluloid, rubber or wood are generally used for wool - work. - -[Illustration: Steel hooks.] - -“I will give you a gauge card to measure the sizes of crochet hooks and -knitting needles,” finished Crow Shay. - -[Illustration: THIS SCALE FOR STEEL KNITTING NEEDLES ONLY - -Sizes for knitting and crochet needles.] - -“Oh, thank you,” said Mary Frances, helping Crow Shay take a card out -of the knitting bag. “Now I shall feel very much better acquainted with -your whole family.” - -“Take good care of the picture,” said Crow Shay. “You may often want to -look at it.”[B] - -[Illustration: “Dear little girl.”] - - - - -CHAPTER VII - -A DISAPPOINTMENT - - -JUST then the gong sounded for dinner. - -“What!” exclaimed the little girl. “Is it six o’clock already? Why, I -had no idea how time had flown!” - -“You must have enjoyed hearing me talk,” said Crow Shay. Then, noticing -the Yarn Baby’s hair, he corrected himself. - -[Illustration: He corrected himself] - -“I mean, you must have enjoyed hearing _us_ talk,” he said. - -Then there came footsteps on the stairs. - -“Mary Frances, didn’t you hear the gong? Mother sent me to look for -you,” called the little girl’s brother Billy. “Where are you, anyway?” -he asked as he bounded up the steps. - -[Illustration: “What! Dinner time already!”] - -“Mercy!” exclaimed Crow Shay under his breath, as his face melted away. - -Wooley Ball rolled over on her face. - -The Yarn Baby fell over on her side and looked as dumb as a dumb-bell. - -“I’m coming,” called Mary Frances. “I’ll be right down.” - -“Oh, do not let anyone know about us,” muttered the Yarn Baby. “If you -do, we’ll be deader than sixty coffin nails.” - -[Illustration: “Deader than sixty coffin nails.”] - -“I’ll never tell about any of you, dear Yarn Baby,” whispered Mary -Frances, hurrying away. - -She had scarcely finished her dinner before her aunt came in. - -“Seven o’clock,” said the old lady, after greeting the family; “seven -o’clock is the time I said we would start our lesson, Mary Frances. Are -you nearly ready?” - -Poor Mary Frances! She felt like crying when she thought of how Crow -Shay, and Wooley Ball and the Yarn Baby had been planning to give her -lessons. - -[Illustration: Poor Mary Frances!] - -“Are you nearly ready?” repeated Aunt Maria. - -“Why, yes, Aunt Maria. I will be ready as soon as I get my knitting -bag. I carried it upstairs,” she answered. - -“I’ll wait for you right here at the foot of the stairs,” said her -aunt. “Then we will go over to my house where no one will interrupt us.” - -“Oh, dear,” thought Mary Frances. “I don’t want to go! I guess I shall -have to, though. It would disappoint Aunt Maria so dreadfully if I did -not.” - -Mary Frances paused at the door of the room, thinking that she might -hear her new friends talking, but there wasn’t a sound. - -“Let me see—what shall I take?” she thought. “I don’t dare take the -Yarn Baby. Aunt Maria would think it foolish. I do not want to take -Wooley Ball for fear Aunt Maria will use her. I can take Crow Shay, -though. He might enjoy the lesson!” - -She selected some Germantown zephyr and put it into her knitting bag; -then she carefully laid Crow Shay in. - -“You will help me a lot,” she said as she drew up the strings. - -[Illustration: “You will help a lot”] - -Her aunt was waiting for her. She ran to kiss her mother good-bye, then -hurried off with the old lady. - -[Illustration: She drew up the strings] - -[Illustration: “Oh, did she get off?”] - - - - -CHAPTER VIII - -A DOLL’S NECKLACE - - -“LET me see what you have in your bag, child,” said Aunt Maria, as soon -as they were seated in the big old-fashioned parlor of the old lady’s -house. - -Mary Frances opened the bag. To her surprise Crow Shay winked an eye at -her, but his face melted away before Aunt Maria saw it. - -[Illustration: Winked an eye at her.] - -She caught up the crochet hook, however, and examined it. - -“A very good crochet hook,” she said. “Just right to learn with. About -a number 5, I judge,” looking at it carefully. - -She laid it down on the table, and took up Mary Frances’ ball of yarn, -and showed her how. - -[Illustration: Took up the ball of yarn.] - - -TO MAKE CHAIN STITCH - -[Illustration: Chain Stitch] - - Material: Germantown wool. - Bone crochet needle No. 5. - - CUT[C] 1 - - Hold crochet hook and yarn in positions shown in this - picture. - - CUT 2 - - Pointing the hook away from you, turn it completely - around, bringing a loop on the needle. - - CUT 3 - - With thumb and second finger of left hand take hold of - the crossed threads.

Then his face -melted away, leaving nothing but the upturned line of his grin. - -[Illustration: His face melted away.] - -“My,” thought the little girl, “if he keeps on, I shall be sure to -laugh;” but she paid strict attention to what her aunt told her. - -“To begin with,” said Aunt Maria, “everybody who learns to crochet must -learn how to make chain stitch. In order to learn how to make chain -stitch you must do just as I have already shown you.” - -Mary Frances tried again and again and was able at length to make chain -stitch very well. She knew that Crow Shay helped her. - -“Even though I seldom played with dolls when I was young,” said her -aunt, “I believe that I can show you how to make some pretty necklaces -for dolls by using this stitch. I used to make them and give them to my -friends for their dolls.” - -“Oh, how, Aunt Maria?” cried Mary Frances, delighted with the thought. -“I’d just love to make one for Mary Marie!” - -[Illustration: “Oh, how, Aunt Maria?”] - -“Perhaps in this way,” said her aunt, giving her directions for making— - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration: Six glass beads.] - -[Illustration: A Doll’s Necklace.] - -[Illustration: PLATE 2—MOTION PICTURES SHOWING HOW TO MAKE SINGLE -CROCHET - -SEE DESCRIPTION, PAGE 51] - - -DOLL’S CROCHETED NECKLACE - - Material: Pink or light blue or yellow Germantown - zephyr.

Thank you, Aunt Maria.” - -“Probably you will,” said her aunt. “You certainly do learn -quickly—just like me. You certainly are very much like me.

I will walk home with you.” - -[Illustration: Chain stitch] - -[Illustration: Took up the ball of yarn.] - - - - -CHAPTER IX - -A TELEGRAM - - -THE minute Mary Frances saw her mother she knew that something was -wrong, for she looked so white and worried. In her hand was a yellow -envelope. - -“A telegram!” exclaimed Mary Frances. “Mother dear, is—is it—about -father?” - -“Oh, Mary Frances,” said her mother. “I am so thankful to see you and -Aunt Maria! I was just looking for Billy to send word for you to come.” - -“Do sit down, child,” said Aunt Maria, “and tell us all about it. Mary -Frances, bring your mother a glass of water, and here—here is my bottle -of smelling salts.” - -[Illustration: So white and worried] - -[Illustration: “A telegram!”] - -Mary Frances flew to bring the water. - -Then Aunt Maria read the telegram. - -[Illustration: Aunt Maria read it.] - -“Your father has been hurt in a railroad accident, my dear,” she said. -“Your mother and I must start to him immediately. I will go pack my -bag. You can help your mother get ready. I shall be back in a very -short time. Billy will carry our bags to the train. Your mother is -feeling better, or I would not leave you. Good-bye.” - -And without any more ado the old lady was gone. - -Mary Frances put her arms around her mother’s neck. - -“Dear little girl,” said her mother. “You will be brave and womanly, I -know.” - -[Illustration: “Dear little girl”] - -“Yes, mother, I will!” said Mary Frances. “I will help you in every way -I can. That is the best way of helping father. Come on upstairs, dear, -and let me help you get ready to go to him. Do you feel able to go?” - -“It is the very thing I want to do most of all. I am glad that Aunt -Maria is going with me, though. I know I shall find her a wonderful -help.” - -Mary Frances packed her mother’s suitcase, and fastened her dress, and -buttoned her shoes, and put her hat and veil on. “Just as if I were -your little girl,” said her mother. “What a darling comfort you are, my -dear!” - -Billy and Mary Frances went to the station with their mother and aunt. -Billy carried their luggage and bought their tickets. “No grown man -could have done better,” said his mother; and even Aunt Maria praised -him. - -[Illustration: Billy.] - -“Now, children,” said their mother, giving them their last directions, -“Katie will be home about ten o’clock. You had better wait up for her. -Poor, faithful soul, she will be as grieved as any of us about the sad -news.” - -[Illustration: “Now, children.”] - -“But it isn’t such sad news as it might be, mother,” said Billy. -“Father will soon be well, we hope.” - -“With the kind of nursing which I—I mean we—will give him,” said Aunt -Maria, “I expect he will be about quite soon.” - -That speech cheered everybody, and the children felt so hopeful that -they were nearly happy as the train pulled out of the station. - -The house seemed pretty empty and lonesome when they went in. - -“Let’s play checkers,” said Billy; and they forgot a little of their -troubles in the game. - -It was not long before they heard footsteps on the porch. Then the bell -rang. - -“Oh, Billy, aren’t you afraid to go to the door?” whispered Mary -Frances. - -“Afraid!” exclaimed Billy. “What’s there to be scared of? You know it’s -Katie, most likely.” - -But Mary Frances noticed that he kept the toe of his shoe against the -door, and opened it only a little way. - -“Is it you, Katie?” he asked. - -“It sure is,” answered Katie. “That is, it’s meself if I know meself.” - -[Illustration: “It sure is.”] - -“Oh, come in, come on in, Katie,” cried Mary Frances; and with tears -running down her cheeks, she told Katie the whole story. - -[Illustration: “Come in Katie.”] - -“Poor little girl!” said Katie, holding her in her arms. “Don’t you -worry. We’ll probably hear good news from your mother in the morning. -Come now, let’s all go to bed.” - -[Illustration: Another telegram] - -Katie was right. The morning brought another telegram. It said: - - _Father is not dangerously hurt. Will write about - everything._ - - _Mother._ - -“Oh, Katie! Oh, Billy!” cried Mary Frances. “I am the thankfulest of -all thankful children in the world, I guess. I feel happy enough to -kiss a crow!” - -“Well, I’m thankful enough to play a game of ball,” said Billy, -starting off. - - - -“And I’m thankful enough—to clean house,” said Katie. - -Mary Frances offered to help her, but Katie said, “Oh, you just keep to -your own knitting, little girl. If I need you I’ll call upon you, thank -you.” - -“The very thing!” thought Mary Frances and went upstairs. - -[Illustration: “The very thing.”] - -[Illustration: “You work pretty well.”] - - - - -CHAPTER X - -MAKING PLANS - - -CROW SHAY was peeping out of the knitting bag. - -[Illustration: Peeping out.] “I told them all about it,” said he. “I -told all about how well you learned your stitches.” - -“If you hadn’t helped me,” Mary Frances said; “if I hadn’t had such a -kind, helpful friend, I never would have done as well as I did.” - - “Not for to-day, - But every day, - I’ll be your little friend, - Crow Shay,” - -promised the little fellow, again breaking into rhyme. - -“So will all of us,” said the Yarn Baby. - -“So will all of us.” - -“Isn’t that lovely!” Mary Frances exclaimed. “Now that Aunt Maria is -away——” - -“Oh, did she get off?” asked Wooley Ball. - -[Illustration: “Oh, did she get off?”] - -“Yes; she’s off,” said Crow Shay. “She’s off—and she’s awful!” - -[Illustration: “She’s off—and she’s awful!”] - -“Oh, for shame!” cried Mary Frances. - -“I meant to teach you the stitches myself,” muttered Crow Shay. “That’s -why I said she was awful.” - -“You must not speak in that way of any of my friends,” said Mary -Frances. “Aunt Maria is very good to me. She even told me how to make a -necklace for my doll.” - -“Is that all she told you how to make for your doll?” asked the Yarn -Baby, sitting up suddenly. - -“Why, yes; you see I do not know how to make many different kinds of -stitches yet,” said Mary Frances. - -“She knows how to make chain stitch, slip stitch, single crochet and -double crochet,” said Crow Shay. - -“Well, if you know that much,” went on the Yarn Baby, “we can teach you -how to make lots of things for your doll, if you will just follow our -directions.” - -“Won’t that be splendid!” Mary Frances was delighted. “I can begin -right away,” she said. - -“Mary Marie needs so many things,” she went on. “I do wish that the -child had all the nice warm things she needs.” - -“How large is she?” asked the Yarn Baby. - -[Illustration: “How large is she?”] - -“Not quite sixteen inches tall,” replied Mary Frances. “I would bring -her in from the playroom, but I want to surprise her if I make anything -for her.” - -“Of course,” said Wooley Ball. “We understand that.” - -“Yes,” said the Yarn Baby, “and we will make everything just the right -size for her. How would you like to make her a scarf to wear around her -neck when it is cold?” - -“Why—could I make a scarf with just the few kinds of stitches that I -know how to make?” asked Mary Frances in surprise. - -[Illustration: A scarf.] - -“Indeed you could, and indeed you can,” laughed Wooley Ball. “It is -splendid to think of your having so many beautiful yarns,” she added. - -“Yes,” said Mary Frances, “my grandma sent me all she had. She kept the -yarns which were left over from her work for years. Some of them are -lovely. I meant to have them all wound into balls for this lesson, but -I haven’t had time to do it.” - -She opened the little chest, and you can imagine her surprise when she -saw only neatly wound balls, instead of loose odds and ends and hanks -and skeins of yarn. - -[Illustration: Neatly wound balls.] - -“Why, who in the wide world did this?” she exclaimed. - - “It makes me sigh - To say, ‘Not I,’” - -sang Crow Shay. - -[Illustration: Sang Crow Shay] - -“I am afraid it would make you die not to say anything,” said Wooley -Ball. - - “Oh, Wooley Ball - Knows best of all - How to make yarns - Into a ball,” - -sang Crow Shay, laughing. - -“How did you ever do it. Wooley Ball?” asked Mary Frances. “I do thank -you so much.” - -“Wooley Ball is in charge of all the yarns,” the Yarn Baby explained. -“They all obey her.” - -“When I say, - - ‘All, all - Go into a ball,’ - -they wind themselves,” said Wooley Ball. - -[Illustration: “All, all go into a ball”] - -“Did you ever go to a ball?” asked Crow Shay. “I have. I’ve gone to a -ball, and I’ve used it all up. Oh, I am a grand ball player!” - -“You are too silly for words sometimes,” said the Yarn Baby. “Now you -will soon have a chance to show how you play ball!” - -[Illustration: “You are too silly.”] - -[Illustration: Mary Marie.] - - - - -CHAPTER XI - -A ROSE SCARF - - -“WHAT color would you like to use for Mary Marie’s scarf, little Miss?” -asked the Yarn Baby. - -“I think this is pretty,” answered Mary Frances, lifting a ball of -rose-colored Germantown zephyr. - - “Mary Marie arose, arose, - ‘A rose,’ she cried, ‘A rose - Scarf, I propose,’” - -said Crow Shay. - -[Illustration: “Mary Marie arose, arose”] - -[Illustration: “Will you keep still!”] - -“Will you keep still!” screamed the Yarn Baby, her hair standing out -in all directions. At least she tried to scream, but her voice sounded -like a zephyr wind. “You are so full of mischief, I don’t see how you -will do any work to-day,” she added. - - “I love to work, - I never shirk, - Nor do I jerk my work - When I do work,” - -sang Crow Shay. - -[Illustration: Sang Crow Shay.] - -[Illustration] - -“You generally do work pretty well,” admitted the Yarn Baby, “but you -are pretty slow sometimes.” - -[Illustration: “You work pretty well.”] “We haven’t been very fast -about getting those directions,” said Crow Shay. - -The Yarn Baby took the hint and gave the directions for— - - - DOLL’S CROCHETED SCARF - - (See picture opposite page 40—color plate) - - Material: Rose color, or blue four-fold Germantown zephyr. - Gray Germantown zephyr for trimming. - Bone crochet hook No. 5. - - Directions: - - 1.

Pull gray yarn until the loop - is tight. - - Always pull the fringe through from the same side of - the work. - - 5. Continue making fringe all across the two ends of - the scarf. - -Mary Frances worked hard, and Crow Shay helped with all his might, but -the little girl’s fingers seemed very awkward. - -“Little Miss, you are doing nicely, but you pull the yarn too tight,” -said the Yarn Baby, who was watching her work most carefully. - -[Illustration: “You pull the yarn too tight.”] - -Mary Frances noticed how smooth her hair looked. She knew the Yarn Baby -was not displeased. - -“I know I hold my work tight,” she said. “My fingers just won’t let go -of the yarn.” - -“If you are inclined to make your stitches too tight, use a larger -crochet hook,” said the Yarn Baby. - -[Illustration: Crow Shay looked frightened] - -Crow Shay looked so frightened that Mary Frances wanted to laugh; but -she was afraid that if she did it would hurt his feelings, so she only -said, “I think that I can manage better soon.” - -“If your work curls up when you have finished,” said the Yarn Baby, -“lay it under a damp cloth or a damp towel over night. When it is dry -it will be quite smooth.” - -“Dampness always takes the curl out of my hair,” laughed Mary Frances, -working away. - -The Crochet People helped whenever she made a mistake, and the Yarn -Baby repeated the directions when she asked about them. She had not -quite finished the scarf when Katie called her to lunch. - -[Illustration: “Under a damp cloth”] - -[Illustration: Katie called her to lunch.] - -[Illustration: LET US PLAY BALL - -FOR DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING KNITTED ARTICLES SHOWN IN THIS ILLUSTRATION -SEE - -CROCHETED SHAWL—75 KNITTED SHAWL—171 - -KNITTED SPORTS SWEATER—201 CROCHETED SPORTS HAT—240] - - - - -CHAPTER XII - -MARY MARIE’S SHAWL - - -AFTER helping Katie with the lunch dishes, Mary Frances ran upstairs -again. - - “How glad we are! - How glad we are! - We heard you coming - From afar!” - -sang Crow Shay as she entered the room. - -“We were afraid that you might not come again to-day,” said the Yarn -Baby. - -“Not come!” exclaimed Mary Frances. “Why, it would be punishment for me -not to have these lovely lessons.” - -[Illustration: “How glad we are!”] - -[Illustration: “Not come!”] - -Picking up Crow Shay, she finished putting the fringe on the scarf. - -“Isn’t it lovely!” she cried. “I want you all to see how sweet Mary -Marie looks in it.” - - “Oh, let her nap, - Please let her nap, - Until you make— - A little cap!” - -said Crow Shay. - -“A cap?” asked the little girl. “Why, Crow Shay, do you think I can -ever make her a cap?” - -“Yes, indeed,” answered the Yarn Baby. “We have planned that for a -lesson to come soon.” - -“And we do not want to see your Polly—I mean your dolly—until you have -the set made; that is, a cap and scarf. Then you can show us how she -looks in them,” added Crow Shay. - -“Oh, all right,” said Mary Frances, “that will be a much delightfuller -surprise for Mary Marie, anyhow. I will work hard, and try to make the -cap soon.” - -[Illustration: “Oh, let her nap.”] - -[Illustration: “Yes, indeed.”] - -“Before doing that, you need a little more practice in plain work,” -said the Yarn Baby; “so how would you like to make a pretty little -shawl for your doll?” - -“That is exactly what she has needed this very long while,” declared -Mary Frances. - -“That’s good,” said the Yarn Baby. “Wooley Ball, what yarn have you -planned for us to use for the shawl?” she asked. - -“Two shades of light blue knitting floss,” answered Wooley Ball -proudly. “The floss will make such a pretty, soft shawl.” - -“Are you ready to begin?” asked the Yarn Baby as Mary Frances picked up -the lighter blue floss and Crow Shay. - -“Yes,” replied Mary Frances, “all ready.” But she wondered whether Crow -Shay were not too coarse a hook to use for the floss. - -“Now,” said the Yarn Baby, “you will hear about the way to make a— - -[Illustration: “That’s good.”] - - -DOLL’S CROCHETED SHAWL - -(See picture opposite page 72—color plate) - - Be sure to make the Doll’s Scarf, page 69, before - attempting this work. - -[Illustration: “Pink and white.”] - - - Material: Light blue (double) wool floss.

How can I help you?” - -“If you please—” began the little girl. “If you please—” but she could -seem to get no further. - -Here the Yarn Baby spoke. All the Crocheting and Knitting People had -risen when Fairly Flew arrived.

No sooner did she start -to make a row of stitches than the magic crochet needle darted ahead of -her fingers and finished the row in a twinkle of an eye. - -In about sixty twinkles the little shawl was finished. - -“Oh,” gasped Mary Frances, “Oh, isn’t it wonderful?” and she held it up -for all to admire. - -“Put it away, my dear,” said Fairly Flew. “I do not have very long to -stay. A few hours a day is all the time I have for any mortal. So let -us get everything done that we can.” - -[Illustration: “Finish with my needle”] - -[Illustration: “Isn’t it wonderful?”] - -[Illustration: Her hair began to stand on end.] - - - - -CHAPTER XIV - -A LITTLE PETTICOAT - - -“WHAT comes next?” Fairly Flew asked the Yarn Baby. - -“Next,” answered the Yarn Baby, “we planned to show the little Miss how -to make another scarf for Mary Marie.” - -[Illustration: “She hasn’t two necks.”] - -“Mary Marie hasn’t two necks,” whispered Crow Shay. - -[Illustration: “Hush!” warned Wooley Ball.] - -“Hush!” warned Wooley Ball as she noticed the Yarn Baby’s hair begin to -rise. “You will get into trouble if you don’t!” - -“There will be caps or hats made to match the little scarfs,” went on -the Yarn Baby, turning to Mary Frances. “You will know how to make this -scarf as soon as you hear the directions: - - -DOLL’S CROCHETED WOOL FLOSS SCARF - -(See picture opposite page 104—color plate) - - Be sure to make Doll’s Shawl, page 75, before - attempting to make this scarf. - - Material: Old rose wool floss.

I always come to help those who try to learn their lessons. They -may not always see me, but I put magic into their needles after they -practice what they learn. They may not be able to work quite as quickly -as you do when I am with you, but they can work pretty fast—so fast -that people may say that the needles fairly flew.” - -“How glad I am that you help other little girls, too,” said Mary -Frances, taking the magic needle which the fairy held out. “Thank you -for coming to me, dear Fairly Flew!” - -Then she started to make the slippers—and you know how quickly they -were finished. - -[Illustration: “Aren’t they beautiful?”] - -“Aren’t they beautiful?” cried Mary Frances. “Now my dolly’s feet will -keep warm.” And she put them on Mary Marie’s little feet. - -[Illustration: “Footies nice and warm.”] - -“Footies nice and warm,” gurgled Mary Marie; “footies hidin’ away from -Jack Frost,” and went on playing with her ball. - -[Illustration: “Won’t that be splendid?”] - - - - -CHAPTER XIX - -MARY MARIE’S SCHOOL BAG - - -AFTER everybody had admired the little slippers, the Yarn Baby -said, “If Mary Marie goes to kindergarten, she should have a little -school-bag to carry her pictures and books in, I think.” - -[Illustration: “Has she a school-bag?”] - -“Wouldn’t that be splendid!” cried Mary Frances. “What kind of yarn -shall I use?” - -[Illustration: “Let me look into the box.”] - -“Let me look into the box,” replied Wooley Ball, rolling over to the -end of the sewing table and peeping over the edge of the chest, “Oh, -there is the very thing to use—ecru crochet cotton.

(See - page 90.) - -Fairly Flew gave the directions so rapidly that Mary Frances scarcely -realized when she finished one piece of the little Teddy Bear suit and -commenced on another. - -[Illustration: Fairly Flew.] - -When the three pieces were finished, “Good!” exclaimed the fairy. “The -reason that I talked so fast was that I was so anxious to see how your -baby would look when dressed like a Teddy Bear.” - -“Come here, dear,” said Mary Frances, holding out her arms, and Mary -Marie ran to her. - -“Twick, Mamma! Twick!” she cried, trying to get into the sweater by -herself. - -[Illustration: “Twick, Mamma! Twick!”] - -Mary Frances helped her and soon she was dressed. - -“Doesn’t she look dear!” exclaimed Mary Frances, kissing her. - -“She looks too cunning for anything!” said the Yarn Baby. - -“I could roll yarn for her all my life,” declared Wooley Ball. - -[Illustration: “I could roll yarn all my life.”] - -“Isn’t it wonderful to make such a beautiful thing out of a string?” -asked Crow Shay. “I should think that everybody would learn to know us -nice Crochet People.” - -“I should, too,” said Mary Frances. “I wish all my friends——” - -[Illustration: “I should too.”] - -“Hush!” exclaimed Fairly Flew. “I think I hear a step!” And she melted -out of sight. - -“Tate Mary M’rie for a walk, Mamma?” the little doll asked as Mary -Frances took her up in her arms; but when they reached the foot of -the stairs, Mary Marie began to look like a doll again, and stared at -things just as dolls do. - -“She is afraid some one will see her, and the fairy has told her not to -talk,” thought Mary Frances. “I guess I’ll take her upstairs again so -as to be safe.” And she went to the playroom. - -“Nice walk,” said Mary Marie, leaning her head on Mary Frances’ neck -sleepily. So Mary Frances undressed her and put her to bed and then -went out to play. - - - - -CHAPTER XXII - -THE FIRST KNITTING LESSON - - -MARY FRANCES stopped at the door of the sewing room when she went -upstairs the next morning after breakfast, for she was sure that she -heard a voice. - -Crow Shay was speaking— - - “Now then unpack, - Both Knit and Knack, - For Fairly Flew - Has need of you.” - -[Illustration: “Now then unpack.”] - -“Did she say so?” asked a little voice eagerly. - -[Illustration: “Did she say so?”] - -“Did she say so?” asked another little voice just as eagerly. - -“Not exactly, not exactly,” answered Crow Shay; “but I saw her working -on some knitting.” - -“That’s a sign, I guess,” said Knit. - -“That’s a sign, I guess,” said Knack. - -And they both jumped out of the knitting bag. - -“Come, Wooley Ball,” cried Knit, “please help us.” - -“Come, Wooley Ball,” cried Knack, “please help us.” - -“Help you what?” asked Wooley Ball, rolling over toward them. - -[Illustration: “Help you what?”] - -“Help us teach the little Miss to knit,” replied Knit. - -“Help us teach the little Miss to knit,” echoed Knack. - -“I’ll help you!” Crow Shay offered. - -[Illustration: “I’ll help you!”] - -“You?” cried Knit. “You only crochet!” - -“You?” cried Knack. “You only crochet!” - -“Only?” exclaimed Crow Shay. “Only? Well, if I ever betted, I’d bet you -both that I can help teach knitting.” - -“I’d like to see you!” said Knit. - -“I’d like to see you!” said Knack. - -“Maybe you will,” laughed Crow Shay. “I’m willing to help you,” he -added. - -“Come,” thought Mary Frances. “If that little mischief keeps on, there -will be a quarrel. I must go in,” and she entered the room. - -“Why, how do you do, my new friends?” she said, speaking to Knit and -Knack. - -“Oh, they are pretty well, thank you,” answered Crow Shay. -“Good-morning, Miss Mary Frances.” - -The Yarn Baby’s hair rose high on her head. “Wait till you’re spoken -to, Crow Shay!” said she. - -[Illustration: “Wait till you’re spoken to!”] - -Crow Shay stepped back on the table. - -“You are Knit and Knack, my knitting needles. I know you well,” went on -Mary Frances. “I do hope that you will help me learn to knit.” - -“They’re crazy to,” began Crow Shay, “and I am——” - -The Yarn Baby gave him such a hard push with her soft little elbow that -he toppled off the table. - -[Illustration: Toppled off the table.] - -Then the Knitting twins had to laugh. They couldn’t help it. - -“Oh, dear!” sighed Mary Frances, picking him up. “Oh, dear! He is so -anxious to help that he forgets his manners; but he will learn some -day.” - -“I’ll call the fairy,” thought the little girl, and she said her magic -rhyme. - -[Illustration: “I’ll call the fairy.”] - -“Why, everybody is all ready for the next lessons,” said Fairly Flew, -looking around after she had greeted Mary Frances. “We will start at -once— - -[Illustration: “We will start at once.”] - - -_To Make a Slip Knot_ - - Material: About 2 yards four-fold Germantown wool. - - One pair bone knitting needles No. 6. - - - CUT 1 - - Hold yarn in hands as shown in this picture. - - CUT 2 - - Let upper thread fall behind the second finger of left - hand. - - CUT 3 - - Catch it between the first and second fingers. - - CUT 4 - - Pull hard on the thread in the right hand bringing the - loop off the left-hand fingers. - - CUT 5 - - Draw knot up tight. - - CUT 6 - - Slip the loop on a knitting needle and draw it up close. - -[Illustration: PLATE 4—MOTION PICTURES SHOWING THE RIGHT WAY TO MAKE A -SLIP KNOT—FIRST STEP IN KNITTING.

She wished that Fairly Flew would give her a magic lesson. - -[Illustration: “No, I cannot do that.”] - -“No,” said the fairy, as though reading her thoughts, “I cannot do -that. Everybody has to learn in the same old way—by—trying— - - ‘If at first you don’t succeed, - Try, try again.’” - -Mary Frances tried harder than ever, and when she had made a slip knot, -every one looked delighted. - -[Illustration: Every one looked delighted.] - -“Now,” said Fairly Flew, “now, you are ready to try a new exercise.” - -“Now, it is Knit or Knack’s turn,” thought Mary Frances, as she took up -a knitting needle.

There are several different -ways of doing this.” - -[Illustration: “The first work.”] - -“Yes,” said the little girl, “I have seen Aunt Maria cast on stitches -with two knitting needles.” - -[Illustration: “Yes, I see.”] - -“You will learn that method later on,” Fairly Flew promised; “but next—” - -She did not finish the sentence because Crow Shay was attracting -everybody’s attention by his funny antics. He couldn’t seem to keep -still, but kept hopping up and down on the table so hard that it made a -constant tap-tap-tap! - -“Watch me, Knit,” he was whispering, “you’ll soon be surprised to see -me help you.” Then he began to giggle. - -“The little tease!” exclaimed Fairly Flew. Then turning to Mary Frances -she continued: “I see that you have your needle well filled with -cast-on stitches. They look nice and even, and you could knit them off -quite easily when shown how to use the other needle; but before you -learn to take stitches off, I wish to tell you about another easy way -to cast on stitches.” - -[Illustration: PLATE 6—MOTION PICTURES SHOWING HOW TO CAST ON KNITTING -STITCHES WITH A CROCHET HOOK.

What keeps you there so long?” - -“Oh, I told you, Billy—I am practicing knitting!” Mary Frances replied. - -“Well, it must be lots of fun,” Billy said. “It certainly keeps you -quiet enough. Come on, and have a game of tennis.” - -Mary Frances went to find her hat and jacket. - -[Illustration: To find her hat.] - -“When I know how, I shall make myself a sweater,” she thought. “I -should like to make one for mother first though—a pink one trimmed -with gray.” - -“Come on, Mary Frances,” called Billy, “aren’t you ready?” - -“Coming,” cried Mary Frances, running out the door. - - * * * * * - -In about an hour and a half she came back to the room. “Oh, I have been -so worried!” she exclaimed. “Dear Knitting and Crocheting People, I -forgot entirely to give Mary Marie her bottle.” - -[Illustration: “Did you?”] - -“I gave her her pacifier,” said Crow Shay. - -“Oh, what a story!” cried Knit. - -[Illustration: “Oh, what a story!”] - -“Oh, what a story!” cried Knack. - -“I am glad that he didn’t,” said Mary Frances. “I do not often let her -have if for fear it will spoil the shape of her pretty mouth. I must -run and give her her bottle now.” - -“I thought the little Miss was joking,” Crow Shay said as soon as she -had gone. “I never heard of a baby taking a bottle if she was old -enough to go to school, did you?” - -“Oh, keep still, Crow Shay,” whispered the Yarn Baby. “You know all -about it. You know that Mary Marie is only——” - -[Illustration: “Keep still, Crow Shay.”] - -Just then Mary Frances came back. - -“Mary Marie was sound asleep,” she said, “so I didn’t disturb her. Now -I’ll work hard to learn the next lesson,” and she repeated the little -verse, - - “Fairy Fairly Flew, - Please come, for I need you;” - -and the fairy appeared. - -“I’ve been waiting to be called,” she said settling quickly in the -doll’s rocker, “for you have such an important lesson to learn. Quickly -set up fifteen stitches on one knitting needle.” - -[Illustration: “I’ve been waiting.”] - -“Which method shall I use?” thought Mary Frances, picking up Knack. “I -believe I will use the first one I learned,” she decided, and soon had -the fifteen stitches ready.

Some day you will laugh at yourself for having trouble in -doing this, because knitting will be as easy—what is very easy?” she -asked. - -[Illustration: “Knitting will be easy.”] - -“Billy says, ‘as easy as rolling out of bed,’” laughed Mary Frances. - -“Well, ‘as easy as rolling out of bed,’” finished the fairy. - -How Mary Frances wished that that time had come, or that the fairy -would offer her her magic needles. - -[Illustration: Magic needles.] - -“I cannot offer you my magic needles you know,” went on Fairly Flew; -“but I can help you learn the lesson. Just watch me closely.” - -She pulled two tiny gold knitting needles from her pocket. The heads of -the needles sparkled so that Mary Frances thought they must be diamonds. - -Then the fairy drew some fine yarn from her pocket and began to do the -lesson just as she had given the directions to Mary Frances. - -“Now, watch me closely,” she said, “and take your needles and do -exactly as I do.” - -Before Mary Frances realized it, she had fifteen nice rows of knitting -done. - -[Illustration: “Isn’t that splendid!”] - -“Isn’t that splendid!” exclaimed Fairly Flew. “Now you are ready to -learn— - - -HOW TO BIND OFF - -(How to Finish Knitted Work) - - NOTE.—When first learning how to bind off work it is - easier to use a crochet hook in the right hand in place - of the knitting needle, as shown in the picture on page - 167. - - In doing this work make very loose stitches. - - 1. Knit the first 2 stitches of the last row of work on - to a No. 4 crochet hook. - - 2. Slip the left needle into the first loop on the - crochet hook and pull this stitch over the top of the - hook, and over the stitch nearest the hook. - -[Illustration: HOW TO BIND OFF] - - 3. Knit another stitch, still using the crochet hook in - place of the right-hand knitting needle. - - 4. With the left-hand needle lift the first loop on the - crochet needle over the stitch just made and over the - hook of the crochet needle. - -[Illustration: “I helped!”] - - 5. Continue doing this until there is but one stitch - on the crochet needle. Break off the yarn about 1 inch - from the work, and pull it all the way through this - last stitch. - -[Illustration: “Look at proud Crow Shay.”] - -Of course, Mary Frances did not find it difficult to follow these -directions, because she watched Fairly Flew do the work and made each -stitch just as the fairy made it. - -“That is splendidly done,” said the fairy as Mary Frances broke off the -yarn and fastened the last stitch. “For the next lesson you will make -something for Mary Marie.” - -“Oh, I do not see how I can wait until to-morrow to start!” exclaimed -Mary Frances. - -“But you’d better not work any more now—besides, my time is up for -to-day,” said Fairly Flew. “It will not seem long until to-morrow, -because you’ll be asleep for all night, you know.” - -So Mary Frances put away her work. - -“Good-bye, dear friends,” she said as she went away. - -[Illustration: “Good bye.”] - -“Good-bye. We’ll all be ready and waiting to-morrow,” everybody -promised at once. - -[Illustration: “Good bye.”] - -[Illustration: OUR FRIENDS, TEDDY BEAR AND AIRMAN - -FOR DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING KNITTED ARTICLES SHOWN IN THIS ILLUSTRATION -SEE - -TEDDY BEAR SUIT—129 DOLL’S BEAN BAG—180 AVIATOR DOLL’S OUTFIT—196-197] - - - - -CHAPTER XXVII - -DOING IT OVER AGAIN - - -AS soon as Mary Frances opened her eyes the next morning she thought of -the promised lesson. - -“I’ll hurry and dress,” she whispered. “Perhaps I can start my lesson -before breakfast. I wonder if the Knitting People are awake yet?” - -Soon she was dressed, and ran to the sewing room. - -“Good morning,” everybody greeted her as she entered. - -[Illustration: “Good morning.”] - -This surprised her quite a little. - -“Why, good morning, my dear friends,” she replied. “I thought maybe you -wouldn’t be awake yet. It is so early.” - -[Illustration: “Good morning.”] - - “Give me a shake - If I’m not awake - Before anyone else - Jumps into the cake,” - -sang Crow Shay. - -“Jumps into the cake!” exclaimed Mary Frances. “Why, what has that to -do with your waking up?” - -“Oh, nothing,” answered Crow Shay, “only I couldn’t think of any other -word to rhyme.” - -Then Mary Frances laughed and said the little magic verse, - - “Fairy Fairly Flew, - Please come, for I need you.” - -“Good morning,” Fairly Flew said; and before Mary Frances could reply, -she added, “How pleased we are to see you so bright and early because -you are so anxious to learn your lesson.” - -[Illustration: “Give me a shake.”] - -“And because I am so anxious to make something for my dolly,” said Mary -Frances. - -[Illustration: “Jumps into the cake!”] - -“Well, you may start right away,” and Fairly Flew began to give the -instructions for making— - - -DOLL’S KNITTED SHAWL - -(See picture opposite page 72—color plate) - - Material: Four-fold pink Germantown zephyr. - - Needles: one pair No. 5 knitting needles, one crochet - hook No. 3. - - 1. Cast on 23 stitches. Knit plain until shawl is 14 - inches long; and bind off. - - 2. Trim ends with fringe, cutting the strands of yarn - each 4 inches long. Put 2 strands in every other stitch - at ends of shawl and pull through with crochet hook. - (See directions for making fringe, page 69.) - -[Illustration] - -Mary Frances set to work with great pleasure, and before Katie called -her to breakfast she had eight rows of knitting done. - -After helping Katie to dry the breakfast dishes, she sat in the hammock -and did six more rows. - -“Won’t Fairly Flew be surprised when she sees this!” she thought as she -started upstairs. - -The fairy was waiting in the little rocker when she entered the room. - -[Illustration: Waiting for her.] - -[Illustration: Katie called her.] - -“Oh!” she exclaimed, “isn’t that lovely! You have done some work all by -yourself.” - -“Yes,” said Mary Frances, “I wanted to surprise you, but somehow it -seems to me that the rows I have just knitted do not look quite so even -as those I did when I was with you.” - -“Let me look at them more closely,” said the fairy, and when Mary -Frances laid her work on the table she bent close over it. - -“Oh, my dear!” she said in her tiny voice. “Oh, my dear, you have -dropped some stitches! See?” and she pointed to the loose threads. - -Mary Frances picked up her work and stretched these places open. The -stitches ripped apart. - -“My, I am so disappointed!” she exclaimed. “What shall I do?” - -“You must pull out your needle and rip out all your stitches back to -the beginning of the row where you see your first mistake,” said the -fairy. - -Try as she would, Mary Frances couldn’t keep the tears from coming to -her eyes as she ripped out the stitches which she had made with so much -pleasure. - -[Illustration: “You dropped some stitches”] - -[Illustration: Couldn’t keep back the tears.] - -“Oh, see how wrinkled the yarn is!” she cried. “I guess it will look -awful when it is used again!” - -“No,” said the fairy, “it will not. Why, many a grown person has -unraveled a whole sweater and used the yarn again.” - -“I shouldn’t think used yarn would make anything very nice,” said Mary -Frances. - -“Yes, it does, if it is steamed.” - -“Why, how can it be steamed?” asked the little girl, wondering. - -“To steam the crinkles out of used yarn, lay it in a towel. Place the -towel in a wire strainer or colander. Place the strainer for five -minutes over a kettle of boiling water, but not touching the water. Let -the yarn dry in the strainer with the towel open.” - -“Isn’t that fine to know!” said Mary Frances. “Shall I go steam this?” -She held up the pink yarn. - -[Illustration: “Can it be steamed?”] - -“No,” replied the fairy. “That has been ripped so soon after making -that you will not have any trouble with it. Try, and see.” - -[Illustration: “Place in a colander.”] - -So Mary Frances started bravely to work again. When she had done the -seven rows which she had ripped out Fairly Flew said, “How well you -have done, little girl! Now, you may finish the shawl with my magic -needles.” - -You can imagine, can’t you, just how pleased Mary Frances was when the -fairy’s golden diamond-headed needles finished the shawl in a minute? - -[Illustration: Diamond-headed.] - -All this time Crow Shay had watched with sparkling eyes everything that -happened. - -Fairly Flew now turned to him and said, “You have been so very good, -Crow Shay, that you may make the fringe on this shawl.” - -[Illustration: Kick the fringe.] - -Mary Frances couldn’t help laughing to see the little fellow tumble -head foremost into the little shawl and kick the fringe on the ends in -less time than it would take to tell you how to do it. - - - - -CHAPTER XXVIII - -DOLL’S KNITTED HOOD - - -“LOVELY s’awl,” laughed the pleased dolly, when Mary Frances tried the -little shawl on Mary Marie. “Nice warm st’etchy shawl,” as she wrapped -it close over her shoulders. She meant stretchy, you know. - -[Illustration: “Nice warm st’ctchy shawl.”] - -Mary Frances carried her into the sewing room, “to thank her kind -friends who taught her mamma to make it,” which pleased them all very -much. - -[Illustration: To thank them.] - -When Mary Frances started to take the shawl off, Mary Marie cried, “’Oo -tan’t hab my s’awl; I’ll be told,” so Mary Frances sat her on the table -with the shawl around her, and gave her her doll to play with. - -“Mary M’rie needs a nice ’ittle bonnet, to wear wif ’iss s’awl,” said -Mary Marie, looking up after a minute. “Mary M’rie’s ears are told.” - -“I will go get your little cap,” said Mary Frances, starting to go find -it. - -“No, no, Mamma,” cried the doll-baby. “Don’t want tap. I want bonnet. -Teep ears warm,” and she began to rub her little ears. - -Mary Frances laughed. “You can pull your cap down on your ears, -dearie,” she said. - -“No,” said Fairly Flew, “what Mary Marie wants is a real little bonnet, -just as she says—one that will tie under her chin and cover her ears. -Yarn Baby has just been waiting to give you the rules for making— - - -DOLL’S KNITTED HOOD - -(See picture opposite page 230—color plate) - - Materials: Two-fold pink and two-fold white Saxony wool. - One pair knitting needles, No. 2. - - Directions: - - 1.

So she took -Knit and Knack up in her hand, and they did their very best to help -her, sliding into the stitches almost by themselves. - -In fact, they did so well that it did not take Mary Frances long to -finish the little cap. - -[Illustration: Cap finished.] - -“Isn’t that boo’ful!” exclaimed Mary Marie, clapping her hands as Mary -Frances held it up to view. “Pit it on, Mamma. Please pit it on Mary -M’rie!” - -“Wait until I put on the strings, dear,” said Mary Frances. “I have -just the right kind of ribbon in my little doll’s trunk.” And she went -to find it. - -[Illustration: Right kind of ribbon.] - -Very soon Mary Marie had on the beautiful soft warm hood. - -“Oh, doesn’t she look sweet in that?” exclaimed Mary Frances, kissing -her. - -“Ears nice and warm, Mamma.

He is right about this; it is -now time that you learn how to make ribbed work in knitting. This is -called purling. How would you like to learn to purl and, at the same -time, make a bean bag for Mary Marie?” - -[Illustration: “No, he isn’t crazy.”] - -“Oh, that would be splendid!” cried Mary Frances, very much pleased. - -“All right, then,” said the Yarn Baby; “listen carefully, and you will -find out how to make a - - -DOLL’S KNITTED BEAN BAG - -(See picture opposite page 168—color plate) - - Material: Four-fold red, white, and blue Germantown zephyr. - Two steel knitting needles, No. 12. - Bone crochet hook, No. 3. - - Directions: - - 1.

SEE DESCRIPTION, PAGE 180] - - -CUT 2 - - Now put the point of the right needle into the next - stitch on the left needle pointing the right needle - toward the base of the left thumb. - - -CUT 3 - - Throw the yarn over the point of the right needle in - just the same way as in plain knitting. - - Next, pull the right needle _back_ and slip it _under_ - the left needle. Slip the top stitch on the left needle - off the point of the left needle. The yarn will then be - in the right position for purling the next stitch. - -[Illustration: Beneath stitch.] - - Continue to purl all the way across the row. - - 4. Slip off the first stitch and plain knit off the - other stitches in the next row. - - By this time you will notice that when you are purling - you are doing the work on the wrong side. - -[Illustration] - - 5. Slip off the first stitch on the next row. After - slipping off this stitch, throw the yarn in front of - the right needle and purl across the row. - -[Illustration: “Isn’t it pretty?”] - - 6. Continue knitting and purling every other row until - the piece of work is 2 inches long. Bind off. This - forms one side of the bean bag. - - 7.

With the white yarn, crochet the edges together with - single crochet, leaving one end open. Slip the cloth - bag inside the knitted bag and finish crocheting it - together. - -[Illustration: Crochet edges together.] - -Mary Frances found that purling seemed quite awkward to do at first, -but after she had done half a dozen rows, the stitches formed much more -easily. When she finished the red square she stopped to admire the -pretty even rows of ribs. Just as she finished putting the bean bag -together, the bell rang for luncheon. - -“I’ll bring the rice back with me after lunch,” she said, “if Katie -will give it to me.” - - - - -CHAPTER XXX - -DOLL’S SLEEVELESS SWEATER - - -WHEN she came back, Mary Frances had the rice; and she soon finished -the little bean bag. - -“Won’t Mary Marie be delighted with this surprise?” she said. “I feel -almost like waking her up.” - -“Oh, don’t do that,” said Fairly Flew, “because we will soon have -another surprise for her if you will work hard.” - -[Illustration: “Another surprise.”] - -“Indeed I will,” promised Mary Frances. “I wonder what it is?” - -“Guess!” said Crow Shay. - -[Illustration: “Guess!”] - -“A—a wash rag?” guessed Mary Frances. - -“No,” said Fairly Flew. “Guess again.” - -“A—a stocking?” guessed Mary Frances again. - -“Oh, no,” laughed Crow Shay, - - “It’s something better— - It’s a sweater.” - -[Illustration: “It’s a sweater.”] - -“Is it?” cried Mary Frances. “Is it? Why, that’s just exactly what I’d -wish for most of all things!” - -“It is,” answered Fairly Flew, “and this time Wooley Ball is going to -give the directions.” - -“Oh, I am so glad!” exclaimed Mary Frances. “I have wondered and -wondered why she is so quiet.” - -Everybody looked at Crow Shay. Crow Shay looked ashamed. - -“I’ll tell you about it,” he said at length. “You see, I talked so much -that Wooley Ball made a bargain with me. She said that if I would talk -only half that I wanted to, she wouldn’t talk at all, and we’ve both -kept our bargain.” - -Then everybody began to laugh. Wooley Ball laughed most heartily of all. - -[Illustration: Wooley Ball laughed.] - -“You see, it isn’t hard for me to keep the bargain,” she said, -“because, while I like to tell about yarns, I’m not much of a yarn -spinner.

It was not much larger than Mary Frances’ -thimble. - -“How do you do this morning, little Miss Mary Frances?” she asked. -“I’ve been waiting to be called, for I have a present for you from the -Queen of All Fairies.” - -“Oh!” gasped Mary Frances, “for me?” - -“Yes, in my satchel,” said the fairy. - -“It cannot be anything for my dolls,” thought Mary Frances, “because -the satchel is too little to hold them.” - -Then the fairy took a tiny key from her pocket and unlocked the -satchel. She opened it and began to pull a paper out. It was such a -thin strong paper that before long the fairy had unrolled yards of it -out of the little satchel into a pile on the table. - -“Read it,” she said; and when Mary Frances lifted the end, she saw that -on it were written directions for making all kinds of things for dolls, -and for people, too. - -[Illustration: “How wonderful!”] - -“Oh,” she cried, “the Queen of Fairies couldn’t have pleased me better! -What a lot of wonderful things I can make now. Please thank her for me, -Fairly Flew.” - -“That I shall,” said the fairy. “But wait—I have not yet given you all -that is in the bag. Here are some magic needles just like mine—for a -little girl who tried and tried again, and kept on trying.” - -[Illustration: Needle-of-Don’t-have-to-Try.] - -“Oh, like the Needle-of-Don’t-Have-to-Try!” exclaimed Mary Frances. -“How wonderful! Please, please, tell the Queen of All Fairies that I -thank her more than I can tell her.” - -“Do you know what would please her more than anything else?” asked -Fairly Flew. - -“No,” Mary Frances said. “Will you please tell me what it is?” - -“To tell other little girls how to do the things you have just learned -to do,” said the fairy. - -“How perfectly delightful!” exclaimed Mary Frances. “I can get the -girls to form a knitting club, can’t I?” - -“Yes,” said the fairy, “get all your little friends to join, and make -many of the pretty things that this paper explains about.” - -“How I wish I could tell my mother about our lessons,” said Mary -Frances. - -“You may tell her. The Queen of Fairies sent word that you might do so -if you asked when the paper was——” - -[Illustration: Knitting Twins fell down.] - -Suddenly the fairy disappeared. The Knitting Twins fell down. Wooley -Ball and the Yarn Baby fell over on their sides. - -[Illustration: Wooley Ball fell over.] - -“Oh!” cried Mary Frances; then she looked around and saw her mother -standing in the door. - -“Oh, Mother dear, come in,” she cried. “The most wonderful thing has -happened since you’ve been away!” And she told about the crocheting and -knitting lessons, and the gifts from the Queen of All Fairies. - -“Wasn’t it lovely!” exclaimed her mother. “I am so glad! Just wait a -minute,” and she went out of the sewing room. - -Very soon she was back, carrying a long package which she handed to the -little girl. - -[Illustration: “A present from us.”] - -“A present from father and me,” she said. - -[Illustration: A wonderful infant.] - -Mary Frances opened the package and lifted out a wonderful infant doll -which could open and shut its eyes and could cry when lifted on its -side. - -“Oh, how dear!” cried Mary Frances. “Nothing could please me so much. I -wonder if the Queen of All Fairies knew you were bringing it? There are -directions on this paper for making an infant’s outfit.” - -“Perhaps she did,” said her mother. “Perhaps she planned the directions -with this in mind.” - -“Aren’t fairies and mothers wonderful people?” laughed Mary Frances, -hugging her mother and the new doll at once. - -“Not any more so than good little daughters,” said her mother, kissing -her. - -“Now, I must go to father,” she added. “Lunch will be ready in a short -time.” - -[Illustration: Mary Frances] - - - - -CHAPTER XXXVI - -THE MAGIC PAPER - - -MARY FRANCES carried her new dolly over into the playroom and laid her -down on the little bed by Mary Marie.

I -couldn’t expect to keep Fairly Flew all the time, for many other little -girls will need her.” - - * * * * * - -I wish I could tell you about the good times she had making the -garments and gifts which were told about on the fairy’s paper; how Mary -Marie and the new baby came to life when Mary Frances was following -baby, and petted it, and held it in her lap even though it was nearly -as big as herself; how pleased Billy was with his airship doll; how -surprised and delighted and proud Aunt Maria was when she found out how -much Mary Frances knew; how Mary Frances did form a Knitting Club and -how the girls and a few boys made many, many useful garments for people -who needed them—but that would take another book as long as this one. - -[Illustration: Proud Aunt Maria] - -But I can give you the directions which were on the paper that the -Queen of All Fairies sent her by Fairly Flew, and you will find them in -the next chapter. - -[Illustration: Mary Frances told me.] - -Mary Frances told me this whole story herself, and asked me to write -this book so that you who read it may have some such pleasure as she -had in learning how to crochet and knit. - - - - -CHAPTER XXXVII - -THE MAGIC PAPER (CONTINUED) - - -THESE are the instructions which were found on the paper which the -Queen of All Fairies sent to Mary Frances by the fairy, Fairly Flew. - - -INSTRUCTIONS - - NOTE TO BEGINNERS: Before attempting to make any of the - following articles, make those given in the story part - of this book. - - The articles that follow need not be made in the order - given. - - -ABBREVIATIONS USED IN CROCHETING AND KNITTING - - When you look at the directions usually given for - making crocheted and knitted articles you will find - the names of the stitches abbreviated.

THE CONTINENTAL METHOD OF KNITTING (See page -262)] - - -THE CONTINENTAL METHOD OF KNITTING - - This method is a little more rapid than the Colonial - or English method, but is not so much used. Notice the - position of the hands in the picture. - - To knit plain the straight thread on the second finger - of the left hand is lifted with the point of the right - needle. Cut 2. - - A loop is drawn through; and the top loop on the left - needle is drawn off the point of the left needle. Cut - 3. Finish this row. - - To purl, hold hand in same position as above. Slip - the first stitch off the left needle. Put the point - of the right needle under the thread which is fast to - the ball, and lift it toward you over the left needle, - holding the thread on the right needle with the right - thumb. - - Keeping the thread on top of the right needle put the - point through the top of the first loop on the left - needle, pointing the right needle toward the middle of - the palm of the left hand. - - Lift the point of the right needle toward you and over - the thread.

Slip the first stitch. 2. Pointing the left needle - toward the first finger of the right hand, insert it in - the slipped stitch _under_ the right needle. The two - needles will now be crossed in the loop. 3. With the - thumb and first finger of the left hand push this loop - over and back of the next stitch on the left needle, - and knit the next stitch, bringing the two loops off - the left needle. Repeat to end. - - In using the Continental Method, the thread is thrown - as in purling. - - - - -CHAPTER XXXVIII - -TWO MORE SWEATERS - - -CHILD’S KNITTED SWEATER[R] - -Size 6 to 8 years - - 7 balls colored Shetland floss, 1 ball white. 1 pair - knitting needles No. 7. - - _Body._ With colored floss cast on 72 stitches (16 - inches), knit 6 ribs (12 rows), drop floss temporarily; - with white knit 1 rib and fasten off; pick up colored - floss and knit 5 ribs; join white and knit 1 rib, - fasten off; with colored floss knit 50 ribs.
