                                PREFACE.


IT is usually considered necessary to introduce works of any
description, however trifling, with a few prefatory remarks. Happily the
days of dedication are nearly at their close, and an author has now only
to direct the attention of the reader to any particular leading
features.

I trust that my endeavours in this KNITTING BOOK, in the elementary
instructions contained, with the full explanation of terms and carefully
executed illustrations, are conveyed with a distinctiveness, easily to
be comprehended by the learner. The designs are original, and have
repeatedly been worked with great care, to prove their correctness; the
illustrations have equally shared my supervision; and I humbly hope and
trust that it may be as successful, and give as much satisfaction to my
friends and the public, as my CROCHET BOOK, for which I am amply
rewarded by its unprecedented success, and grateful for the many
flattering testimonials received. I must here also make some
observations upon the many cheap publications that have recently
appeared (two of which have copied _verbatim_ my illustrated
instructions, even to a fault in the drawing), and to direct the
attention of those of my readers competent to understand the many
plagiarisms and general unfitness as works of instruction, of the
majority, if not the whole of those publications. I should hope, and it
is needless to say, that these remarks proceed not from the impulse of a
spirit of rivalry, but from a sincere conviction that the details and
instructions therein conveyed are calculated seriously to mislead, if
not entirely prevent and disgust the student from acquiring a proper
knowledge of these elegant and useful employments, by their
incorrectness; that, in short, they are nothing more than very imperfect
arrangements, copied from the really useful Works that have been
hitherto published, and tend quite as much to injure those Who publish
from experience, as those who learn in order to derive instruction or
add information to their previous knowledge.

                                                                E. R. B.

Publisher’s, or Messrs. Barry and Sons, Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly.

                        INSTRUCTION IN KNITTING,

                         EXPLANATION OF TERMS.

                                  ---

                        TO CAST ON WITH ONE PIN.


[Illustration]


TAKE the thread, and putting it between the second and third fingers of
the left hand, leave an end of about one yard for every 100 stitches;
pass it round the left thumb, from left to right; then take the pin in
the right hand, placing it under the crossing of the thread; put the
needle down the loop, and bring the thread from the outside forward on
the point of the pin; take the thread in the right hand, and passing it
round the pin as A, turn the loop B on the left thumb over the pin, and
draw it tight with the end thread in the left hand, and repeat until the
required number of stitches are on the pin.




                       TO CAST ON WITH TWO PINS.


[Illustration]


This is the Spanish method, and is particularly adapted for working fine
wools, by its forming a looser stitch. Tie a loop at the end of the
thread, and put it on the pin, holding it in the left hand; take the
other pin with the right hand, and put it in the loop; pass the thread
between the pins, and bring it forward then with the right hand pin;
bring the thread through the loop on the left pin; there will now be a
loop on each pin as C and D; then pass the loop D on to the left pin;
repeat by putting the right hand pin through the loop D, and passing the
thread between the pins as before.




                            PLAIN KNITTING.


[Illustration]


After casting on the stitches, hold the pin with the stitches on it in
the left hand, and with the thread turned round the little finger of the
right hand pass it under the second and third fingers, and over the
forefinger; take the other pin in the right hand; put this pin into the
first loop on the left pin, and with the forefinger of the right hand
pass the thread between the pins, bring the thread through, which forms
one stitch; then take the loop off the left pin and repeat.




                            TO MAKE A STITCH

 Bring the thread forward between the pins; when this stitch is worked in
                the next row it will form an open stitch.




                 TO MAKE TWO, THREE, OR MORE STITCHES.


[Illustration]


Turn the thread as many times round the pin as E, F, G, and in the next
row; pearl a stitch and knit a stitch, alternately, taking off one turn
of the thread each time, for as many stitches as were made in the row
before.




                           TO SLIP A STITCH.


To pass a stitch from the left pin to the right without working it. In
all knitting the first stitch of every row should be slipped to make a
firm and even selvedge; this is not mentioned in the receipts, as it
would much lengthen the description, but is to be observed as a fixed
rule; for example, when a row commences thus; knit 2 together, work as
follows:—slip the 1st stitch, knit the 2d, and turn the slipped stitch
over the knitted one.




                     TO KNIT TWO STITCHES TOGETHER.


Take two stitches with the right hand pin, and knit as 1 stitch.




                    TO KNIT THREE STITCHES TOGETHER.


Slip 1 stitch, knit 2 stitches together, and with the point of the left
hand pin turn the slipped stitch over the 2 knitted together, leaving
but 1 stitch.




            PEARL, ALSO CALLED SEAM, BACK, AND RIB KNITTING.


[Illustration]


Commence the row with the thread in front of the pin, pass the point of
the pin down the stitch, turn the thread round the pin, and take it off
as in plain knitting; repeat, always keeping the thread in front.




               PEARL AND PLAIN STITCHES IN THE SAME ROW.


Pass the thread to the back of the work before knitting plain stitches,
and to the front before pearling stitches.




                TO PEARL TWO OR THREE STITCHES TOGETHER


Keep the thread in front of the pin, pass the point of the right pin
down 2 or 3 stitches, and pearl them together.




                  TO MAKE A STITCH IN PEARL KNITTING.


Having the thread in front of the pin, turn the thread completely round
the pin, so as to bring it in front again.




                            TO FORM A ROUND.


[Illustration]


4 or 5 pins are required; cast on the required number of stitches on one
pin, and divide them equally on the other 3 or 4 pins, keeping the 4th
or 5th pin to knit with, and with this pin knit the 1st stitch that was
cast; on knitting off the 3 or 4 pins form one round.




                           TO RAISE STITCHES.


[Illustration]


The work must be held on the right side. Put the pin in the selvedge or
side of the work, as H; pass the thread round the pin and bring it
through, so as to form a stitch of plain knitting; repeat the same to
the end.




                                 A ROW.


Is knitting from one end of the pin to the other.




                               A PATTERN.


Is the number of rows, that are worked before commencing again.




                TO JOIN TWO PIECES OF KNITTING TOGETHER.


[Illustration]


As in the Berthe and Collar, place the two pins containing the work
together, the deepest at the back, and with a third pin put it through
one stitch of each pin, as I and K, and knit them as one stitch.




                THE STITCHES BETWEEN A PARENTHESIS ( ).


(Knit 2 together, and knit 1 three times), are worked thus, knit 2
together, knit 1; knit 2 together, knit 1; knit 2 together, knit 1; this
prevents useless repetition.




                               A MARK *.


When this mark (*) occurs in a row, the stitches before it are not to be
repeated in the row, being merely the edge stitches to prevent the work
from decreasing; thus when knit 3 together, is in a row, the row
generally begins with knit 2 together and ends the same.




                              TO CAST OFF.


[Illustration]


Knit the first 2 stitches; turn the first stitch, as L, over the 2d M;
knit the 3d and turn the 2d stitch over; repeat at the end of the row,
draw the thread through and fasten off. When part of a row only is cast
off, as for example—cast off 30 stitches, leaving 20 stitches; cast off
31 stitches, and put the last loop cast off on the left pin, to make up
the 20 stitches.




                             STITCHES OVER.


A stitch or stitches over, in many of the patterns, commencing
thus—“cast on 10 stitches for each pattern, and one over” for 7
patterns, cast on 71 stitches. As many patterns end with “make a
stitch,” it could not be done without this stitch to perfect the
pattern.

The pins are all gauged by the Bell Gauge.
