This indicates that the instructions following - are to be repeated across row or for the number of stitches - or times specified. - - [Illustration: {knitters}] - - - - - BASIC NEEDS AND KNOW HOW.... - - -YARNS: Yarns vary in size, twist and texture. Use the “Dawn” Yarn -indicated in the directions as only an experienced expert knitter knows -how to allow for the difference when a substitution is made. It is also -very important to purchase all the yarn needed at one time as different -dye lots frequently have different shades of color. - -When you purchase your yarn always check the dye lot number to make -certain they are all the same. It is much wiser to purchase a little -extra yarn than to try and match the dye lot after your garment is -finished. Though the color may look the same in the skein more often -than not the difference will be seen in the finished work. The “ply” of -yarn means the number of strands twisted together. This can be seen by -taking the end of the yarn and untwisting. - - - FUNDAMENTALS & SOME TIPS - -Learn the basic stitches. There are only three: Knit, Purl and slip. All -the others are produced by variations and in combination with yarn -overs. See page 10. - -Practice first with heavy yarn and thick needles. Study the stitch and -the position it takes on the needle. Follow arrows in illustration. -Learn to recognize when it is wrong. Watch the yarn to see where each -loop of the stitch begins and ends. If you lay your knitting aside for a -few days or longer, always rip back a few rows before starting again. -This will prevent an uneven row. See page 12 for ripping back. - -Parentheses in our instructions are used for an explanation of a st, a -certain section of a garment, or change of sts for change of size. A ROW -is once across the needle. A RIDGE is 2 rows, back and forth. WORK EVEN, -means to continue in pattern st keeping the continuity of the design. - -Always MEASURE straight up and down unless otherwise stated. - - - WINDING WOOL - -Winding the wool correctly is important. Never wind wool tightly as this -stretches it. Wind several strands around fingers, slip these from -fingers. Over these strands, in opposite direction, wind a few more -strands wrapping yarn around fingers and ball. Continue in this manner, -always winding over fingers and in opposite direction from last winding. - -LEFT HAND KNITTING: Follow the instructions but change your copy to read -left hand where it says “right hand” and vice versa. Use a mirror to -study diagrams and charts. This will reverse the image for you. - -JOINING YARNS ... If possible, join the new yarn with a knot at the -beginning of a row. If this cannot be done, work next st with new yarn -leaving a 4 inch length. Work a few sts, tie the ends firmly and with a -yarn needle weave ends into work. - -MARKER ... This term is used whenever it is important that a certain -point is to be marked. Example: increase, decrease, beginning of a row -or round, buttonholes, center st, etc. To make a marker of yarn, use a -different color; make a slip knot leaving ends about 2 inches in length. -Place on needle as directed. Slip marker off one needle to the other -needle in each successive round. - -MULTIPLE OF STS ... This term is used generally at beginning of -directions and means that a certain multiple of sts is necessary to work -one pattern. Example: multiple of 4 sts would mean any number divisible -by 4 or 12, 16, 24 sts, etc. A multiple of 4 plus 2 would be 14, 18, 26 -sts, etc., or any number that has 2 more sts after dividing by 4. - - - NEEDLE TYPES - -STRAIGHT NEEDLES ... are used when working back and forth in rows. They -come in lengths of 10, 12, and 14 inches and sizes O-1-2-3, etc. The -larger the number, the thicker the needle. - -DOUBLE POINTED NEEDLES ... come in sets of 4 or 5. They are used for -socks, mittens and any articles made in rounds. - -CIRCULAR NEEDLES ... are used in making skirts, or parts of garments -when a seam is not desired; also in completing a large doily or a round -tablecloth. - -Directions give the size and type needle required and it is not -advisable to change the size unless it is necessary in order to obtain -the correct gauge. - -CABLE NEEDLES ... are short with a bend in the center to hold sts from -slipping off. They are available in thin or thick size for the different -yarns. A short double pointed needle may also be used. It is a good idea -after placing sts on the straight needle to be used for cable to stick -needle into garment slightly, this will prevent sts from slipping off -needle. - -STITCH HOLDERS ... are used to hold sts to be used later. Example: sts -at back of neck or when all sts are cast on and worked to armholes, then -divided for front and back. The stitch holders can be purchased or a -safety pin or length of yarn may be used. - -STITCH COUNTERS ... usually placed on knitting needles. They have a dial -and after working a row, turn the dial to the next number. - -BOBBINS ... usually made of plastic to hold small amounts of yarn for -use in making argyle socks or the Fair Isle, Scandinavian or Ski -patterns. - -GAUGE ... The stitch gauge which appears at the beginning of all -instructions is most important to the size and fit of your garment. -Before starting, make a sample swatch of the pattern stitch with the -needles and yarn specified. If you have MORE sts than gauge use LARGER -needles. If you have LESS sts than gauge use SMALLER needles. Check your -gauge as you progress to assure a perfectly sized garment, Ill. No. 1. - - [Illustration: 1] - - - CASTING ON - -Allow about ½ inch for each st for fine yarn and 1 inch for each st for -heavy yarn. Make a slip knot on needle, Ill. No. 2. * Hold needle in -right hand, hold both lengths of yarn in left hand (see arrows) having -short end of yarn under and to outside of thumb and main length of yarn -under and to outside of forefinger, Ill. No. 3. Insert needle through -loop formed on thumb, pick up yarn on forefinger and draw through loop, -Ill. No. 4, let loop drop from thumb and tighten st on right needle with -thumb. Repeat from * leaving about ¼ inch between sts until required -number of sts have been cast on, Ill. No. 5. - - [Illustration: 2] - - [Illustration: 3] - - [Illustration: 4] - - [Illustration: 5] - - - PLAIN KNITTING - -Hold needle containing stitches in left hand. Follow arrows. * With yarn -in back of work, insert free needle from left to right in front of st, -yarn under and over point of needle and draw through st, slip stitch -just worked from left needle. Retain new stitch on right needle. Repeat -from * until all stitches are on right needle. 2nd Row and Succeeding -Rows: Place the needle holding stitches in left hand with free needle in -right hand. Insert free needle in 1st stitch and complete same as 1st -row. - - [Illustration: 6] - - [Illustration: 7] - - [Illustration: 8] - - [Illustration: 9] - - - GARTER STITCH - -K each st, K each row. - - [Illustration: 10] - - - PURLING - -Hold work same as for Knitting, but hold yarn to front of work. Follow -arrows. * Insert needle from right to left in front of st, yarn around -and in back of point of needle, draw through st having new stitch on -right needle, slip stitch off left needle. Repeat from * until all -stitches are on right needle. - - [Illustration: 11] - - [Illustration: 12] - - [Illustration: 13] - - - STOCKINETTE STITCH - -Knit 1 row, Purl 1 row when working with 2 needles. K each row when -working with a circular needle or on 3 or 4 double pointed needles. - - [Illustration: 14 Knit Side] - - [Illustration: 15 Purl Side] - - - RIBBING - -Ribbing consists of an alternate number of Knit and Purl stitches. In -Knit 2, Purl 2 ribbing the number of stitches cast on is usually -divisible by 4. 1st ROW: K 2, P 2 across row. In the next row again -start with K 2. In ribbing, the smooth sts are knitted, the sts with -rough side are purled. In binding off ribbing Knit the Knit sts and Purl -the Purl stitches. - - [Illustration: 16] - - - TO DECREASE OR NARROW - -In Knitting, Knit 2 sts together (Ill. No. 17), in Purling, Purl 2 sts -together. - - [Illustration: 17] - - - PASS SLIP STITCH OVER (P.S.S.O.) - -(another method of decreasing).... In knitting instructions p.s.s.o. -means to slip 1 st, K (or P) next st, then pass the slip st over the K -(or P) st by inserting left needle into slip st on right needle and -passing over the K st on right needle. Follow arrows in illustrations. - - [Illustration: 18] - - [Illustration: 19] - - [Illustration: 20] - - [Illustration: 21] - - - TO INCREASE - -Knit or Purl 1 st (as directions call for), but do not slip stitch from -left needle (Ill. No. 22 & 23). Knit or Purl into back of same st, then -slip stitch off needle (Ill. No. 24). - -Illustration shows a Knit increase. - - [Illustration: 22] - - [Illustration: 23] - - [Illustration: 24] - - - YARN OVER.... - -Unless otherwise instructed when knitting, bring yarn forward and over -right needle to back, K next st. When Purling bring yarn over and under -right needle and to front, P next st. The yarn over forms a loop on -needle which is worked as a stitch, it is used usually for lacy patterns -and beadings. - - [Illustration: 25 Knit] - - [Illustration: 26 Purl] - - - BIND OFF - -Do not bind off too tightly. - -Knitting: K 2 sts, * pass the 1st stitch over the 2nd stitch: follow -arrows (Ill. 27, 28, 29), K next st, repeat from * until one stitch -remains on right needle, cut yarn and draw through last st. - -PURLING: P 2 sts, * pass 1st stitch over 2nd stitch, P next st, repeat -from * until one stitch remains on right needle, cut yarn and draw -through last st. Not illustrated. - -IN PATTERN: Either Knit or Purl st to be bound off as it would have been -worked in corresponding row of pattern, then bind off for knitting or -purling whichever pattern calls for. Not illustrated. - - [Illustration: 27] - - [Illustration: 28] - - [Illustration: 29] - - - TO SLIP A STITCH.... - -Slip one st from left needle to right needle without knitting or purling -inserting the right needle in the st as if to Knit unless otherwise -directed. When slipping the stitch leave yarn to the wrong side unless -directed otherwise. - - - PICKING UP STITCHES .... DROPPED ST ... - -In stockinette stitch pick up stitch on right side of work. Using a -crochet hook, insert hook in dropped st, draw yarn to row above through -loop forming a new loop. Continue in this manner until you reach the row -being worked being careful not to twist the sts. (Ill. No. 30). PURL sts -are picked up by inserting crochet hook through dropped st from in back -of sts. (Ill. No. 31). In GARTER STITCH alternate the two movements. -RIPPING BACK: Unravel work to within the last row of point desired. Rip -the last row a stitch at a time placing each stitch on a free needle, -preferably a finer double pointed needle, then place these sts back on -size needle you are using. Continue knitting as directed. - - [Illustration: 30] - - [Illustration: 31] - - - PICKING UP STITCHES ... - -around neck and armholes is usually done with smaller needles. Hold the -work with right side toward you and work from right to left. Insert -right needle into the first st from edge, pick up stitches (Ill. No. -32). When picking up stitches on an irregular edge be sure to pick up a -stitch in every row. Always work with the right side toward you unless -otherwise directed. - - [Illustration: 32] - - - BUTTONHOLES - -Work to the point specified. Bind off three or more stitches according -to directions and work to end of row. In the following row work to the -bound off sts and cast on the same number of stitches bound off in -previous row and complete row. (Ill. No. 33 and 34). - - [Illustration: 33] - - [Illustration: 34] - - - WEAVING TOE - -Cut yarn leaving about a 14 inch length, thread this into a darning -needle, * insert needle through first st of first needle as if knitting -and slip stitch off needle, pass through next stitch as if purling and -leave stitch on needle, draw yarn through first st of back needle as if -purling and slip stitch off needle, draw yarn through next stitch of -back needle as if knitting and leave stitch on needle, repeat from * -until all stitches have been worked, fasten neatly. - - [Illustration: {unlabelled}] - - - DUPLICATE STITCH - -This is the stitch used most often for embroidering a desired motif on a -knitted article. It is worked by: * bringing needle through center of -stitch from the wrong side to right side of work—see ill. A. Following -the outline of the knit stitch above, draw the yarn across the back of -the two strands of this stitch—see ill. A and B—return needle to the -center of the same stitch—see ill. B—and draw yarn through. Repeat from -* starting next stitch by bringing needle through center of stitch to be -duplicated—see ill. C. - - [Illustration: ILL. A] - - [Illustration: ILL. B] - - [Illustration: ILL. C] - - - CHANGING COLORS.... - -At the end of a row, tie in new color and continue in pattern. In -Scandinavian, Fair Isle or Ski patterns the additional colors are -carried on the wrong side of work. Designs of this type are usually -worked from a chart with a color code. When changing colors always twist -yarns around each other to prevent a hole. If color is carried over more -than 4 sts, the carried color should be twisted around the yarn that is -being worked to prevent loose lengths on wrong side. Twist the yarn in -following manner; pick up carried color, before knitting st in usual -manner twist over yarn that is carried. Cut colors only when you are -through with that color leaving about a 4 or 5 inch length to be -fastened later with a yarn sewing needle. If designs to be worked are -separated or only 1 design is worked in a corner of garment, use bobbins -(see page 6) to work design. - - - GENERAL INFORMATION - -Directions are given for Ladies small (size 12, Bust 32). Changes for -Ladies’ Medium (Size 14, Bust 34) and Large (Size 16, Bust 36) are given -in parentheses. Men’s small (Size and Chest 38), Medium (Size and Chest -40) and Large (Size and Chest 42) are given in bold face type. - - - CHANGING SIZES - -NOTE: When working with pattern sts ADD or SUBTRACT the multiple of sts -or repeats necessary to work one inch of gauge for size desired. - -LARGER: (1) For each size larger than given, ADD the number of sts -called for in GAUGE to make 1 inch to both back and front cast on sts. - -(2) Continue to follow directions given to armhole shaping or desired -length to armhole. Bind off 2 sts more for each size larger. Work ¼ inch -more in length. - -(3) SHAPE SHOULDERS: Bind off 2 sts more each shoulder for each size -larger. - -(4) SLEEVES: Add 2 sts more in cuff, then 2 sts more in last row of -ribbing. Bind off 2 sts more each side at underarm. - -SMALLER: (1) For each size smaller than size given, SUBTRACT the number -of sts called for in GAUGE equal to 1 inch from both front and back cast -on sts. - -(2) Continue to follow directions to armhole shaping or desired length -to armhole. Bind off 2 sts less for each size smaller. Work ¼ inch less -in length for each size smaller. - -(3) SHAPE SHOULDERS: Bind off 2 sts less for each size smaller. - -(4) SLEEVES: Subtract 4 sts at cuff and bind off 2 sts less each side at -underarm. - - - CHILD’S or IN-BETWEEN SIZE - -If child’s garment is desired or if you are not a regular size, work as -follows: - -(1) Take chest or bust measure. Divide the figure in half (half is -front, half is back). - -(2) Multiply this figure (the half of chest measure) by sts (or rows) -necessary to equal gauge. - -(3) Follow directions given, working back and front to desired length to -underarm. Work armhole shaping in proportion to directions given. Work -armhole desired length. Shape shoulder proportionately to directions -being followed. Work sleeves in proportion to added or subtracted sts. - -(4) Always have same number of rows on back and front of sweater. Work -same amount of rows for both sleeves. - - - BLOCKING AND FINISHING - -Blocking is method used to shape a garment for a “professional look”. -Steps to follow: - -1—Conceal all ends: run ends through several stitches on wrong side. If -yarn is heavy or bulky, split strand and run ends through several -stitches. - -2—Determine whether garment is to be washed. If so, wash each section -separately by hand or machine wash garment according to specific -instructions on yarn label or commercial laundering product. Most -garments stretch larger when wet. Care, therefore, should be taken in -handling wet sections. Squeeze gently in the washing, DO NOT TWIST or -WRING. Rinse thoroughly. Place in turkish towel and squeeze out excess -moisture. Place on turkish towel to dry. If sections of garment appear -to be too big, adjust sections to measure by pushing sections into -slight puckers. Puckers will disappear when sections dry. - -3—Always use the stitch gauge given as a guide for blocking. -Instructions are written for the average in any size, see page 14 for -our sizes. Any slight adjustment for individual size should be made in -the blocking. - -4—After measurements have been determined, place the sections -individually and wrong side up on a well padded surface or table. It is -sometimes helpful to draw outline on brown paper or heavy tissue paper. -With rust proof pins, pin each section to measurement spacing pins about -½ inch apart. - -5—Place a wet pressing cloth over a section. Using a rotary motion, hold -iron as close as possible to section allowing steam to penetrate, but DO -NOT at any time let iron rest on garment. Leave sections on pressing -table until thoroughly dry.... Do not hurry this process. - -6—Always bear in mind that cables and rib patterns have a tendency to -pull in or shrink back. Each section should be blocked about 2 inches -more than desired measure, but should NEVER be pressed flat. Also some -patterns are especially designed for a textured effect. They too should -NEVER be pressed flat. Never press ribbing of cuffs, waistband or -neckline. - - [Illustration: {unlabelled}] - -7—After all sections have been blocked garment is now ready for -finishing. Seams may be woven (see illustrations for weaving lengthwise -and crosswise seams) or back stitched (see illustration page 31), or by -sewing machine. To weave lengthwise seam: thread tapestry needle with a -single strand of matching yarn. Hold lengthwise edges together, right -sides up. Insert needle in center of st on right side, pass under two -rows and pull yarn through to right side. Insert needle in corresponding -row of left side, draw yarn through in same way. Work from side to side -in this manner taking care to keep seam elastic, matching rows, -patterns, stripes, etc. To weave a crosswise seam: hold crosswise edges -together. Starting at right edge, insert needle under two loops of -stitch on top section, insert needle down through center of next stitch -and up through center of next stitch on lower section. Continue in same -manner working alternately into top section and then into lower section -until seam is completed taking care to keep seam elastic and matching -patterns, etc. - -b—Back stitching: place right sides of sections to be seamed together. -Pin, keeping edges even and matching rows or patterns. With tapestry -needle and matching yarn back stitch close to edge taking care not to -draw stitches too tight and keeping seam elastic. - - [Illustration: {unlabelled}] - -c—Sewing machine: loosen tension on machine as you would for jersey or -any stretchy fabric. Place right sides together and pin. Baste seam -being careful not to draw stitches too tight. Remove pins. With matching -thread machine stitch seam. If yarn is bulky or fuzzy sew over tissue -paper. Remove paper when finished. - -8—After garment is all assembled, carefully steam seams flat and even. - - - TO SHORTEN ... - -(No hem desired). Determine length you desire; place a marker. Cut -through one st at side seam about 2 rows below marker. * Pick up cut end -and draw through several sts, cut this length close as possible to work. -This drawn length will tighten sts. After length has been cut straighten -edge taking care with loose sts. Place loose sts on free needle. Repeat -from * until row has been ripped and sts have been placed on needle. -With free needle bind off—or—attach yarn on P side, and with crochet -hook work a slip stitch (see page 30) in each st, turn. Work a slip -stitch in each st, cut yarn. If a hem is desired, allow for hem and -complete same as above. Turn hem to wrong side and tack in place. - - - TO LENGTHEN ... - -(If a sufficient amount of same dye lot is available). Cut off cast on -edge in same manner as above. Pick up loose sts and knit to length -desired. If there is a ribbing on section to be lengthened, cut into the -row above the ribbing, then add to length. If you do not have enough of -same dye lot to work garment to length desired, we suggest working a -stripe of contrasting color and finishing with same color as garment. - - - - - SNUG AND COMFORTABLE ...
