class="chap" /> - -<div class="chapter"> -<h2 class="nobreak" id="INTRODUCTION">INTRODUCTION.</h2> -</div> - - -<p><span class="smcap">In</span> sending this little work before the public, I have tried -to remedy one fault which I have often heard complained -of, namely, that knitting-books generally give so many more -stitches than are really required. This is partly owing to -the different qualities of wool used by different knitters, -and partly also, to a certain extent, whether the worker -knits loosely or tightly. The following directions are for -medium knitters. As knitting sometimes shrinks in the -washing, I should advise my readers to try and knit moderately -loose. But, of course, the principal thing is to have -the same sized wool or silk as that for which the directions -are given; and this is especially important in socks and -stockings. I will therefore state that Charity wheeling is -the thickest and most harsh kind of yarn made; Scotch -wheeling is a trifle less coarse. Scotch fingering is the -usual yarn sold for socks and gentlemen’s stockings: it -ought to be very strong, and to appear about the same size<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_viii"></a>{viii}</span> -as Berlin. If it looks finer (and some does) put on more -stitches than are given. For couvrettes, and things of that -kind, the size of the wool and pins is, of course, a matter of -less importance, as it does not signify whether the work is -a trifle larger or smaller than intended; but in stockings, a -slight thing makes a good deal of difference in the fit.</p> - -<p>I have also endeavoured to explain everything at full -length, so as to enable inexperienced knitters to find out -the patterns by themselves; the cost of each article is put, -whenever possible, at the head of the pattern.</p> -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_9"></a>{9}</span></p> - -<h2 class="nobreak" id="EXPLANATIONS">EXPLANATIONS.</h2> -</div> - - -<p>‘<span class="smcap">To</span> purl or pearl’ and ‘to seam’ mean the same thing; that is, -to put the wool round the right-hand needle. Thus: the wool -hangs straight down, it must be lifted and placed round the -needle from right to left. You must then insert the right-hand -needle into the stitch, exactly the opposite way as in ordinary -knitting.</p> - -<p>‘To decrease’ is simply to knit two stitches together. Another -way is to slip a stitch, knit one, pass the slipped stitch -over it.</p> - -<p>‘To take two together’ means to knit two together.</p> - -<p>‘To increase,’ you must knit both into the lower part of the -stitch, and also into the stitch itself.</p> - - - - -<div class="chapter"> -<h2 class="nobreak" id="Stockings_and_Socks"><i>Stockings and Socks.</i></h2> -</div> - - -<p>The directions given for silk stockings are worked with -Adams and Co.’s silk, 5 New Street, Bishopsgate Street, E. It -is very good, and of lovely colours. Patterns are sent free, and -all orders can be sent by post. Any uncommon shade can be -dyed to order, provided it be not for less than 1 lb. of silk.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_10"></a>{10}</span></p> - -<p>The prices are as follow:—Imperial knitting-silk, the best -quality, any colour, 3<i>s.</i> per 2 oz. skein. Filoselle, any colour, -2<i>s.</i> per oz., or 3<i>d.</i> per skein of 15 yards. Embroidery silk, 1<i>s.</i> 6<i>d.</i> -per oz. Knitting-pins, 2<i>d.</i> per set of four. These knitting-silks -are guaranteed fast colours, and are beautifully bright and -soft.</p> - -<p>Those of my readers who prefer a coarser knitting-silk will -be glad to hear that Mr. Adams is now making some.</p> - - -<div class="chapter"><h2 class="nobreak" id="General_remarks"><i>General Remarks on Socks and Stockings.</i></h2></div> - -<p>For a lady’s stocking it is best to decrease once and increase -three times for the calf of the leg. For a gentleman’s this is -unnecessary. Most of these directions are for ribbed stockings, -as they fit so much better; but if preferred plain, of course the -same number of stitches is required.</p> - -<p>You must always remember in ribbed stockings to carry on -the ribs and seam-stitches all down the back of the heel, until -you begin to round it. The ribs on the front of the foot must be -continued straight on, until within an inch of the decreasing for -the toe.</p> - -<p>The seam-stitch is made by knitting a certain stitch in two -rounds and pearling it in the third.</p> - -<p>Before decreasing for the instep, do two or three plain rounds -and then begin.</p> - -<p>The ‘flap,’ or heel before it is rounded, ought to be three -inches, or even more, as a long heel wears better. It also makes -it much stronger to knit it double with Angola wool, of the same -colour as the knitting; it can be bought at any linen-draper’s on -wooden reels for 2<i>d.</i> One reel does a pair.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_11"></a>{11}</span></p> - -<p>Except for young boys, socks fit quite well without being -decreased at all for the ankle; therefore I only give one pattern -on the decreasing principle.</p> - -<p>With silk stockings the size of pins is important.</p> - - -<div class="chapter"><h2 class="nobreak" id="Heel_of_a_Stocking_or_Sock"><i>Heel of a Stocking or Sock.</i></h2></div> - -<p>To inexperienced knitters the heel seems to present mountains -of difficulty, but in reality the mountain is but a mole-hill -after all. The following pattern is one of the best.</p> - -<p>Divide your stitches. We will say you have 50 altogether, -on three needles: take 12 on each side of the seam-stitch, and -knit these 25 backwards and forwards in rows, not rounds -(making the seam-stitch all the same); you must pearl backwards, -so as to keep the knitting even. Continue until you have -made a flap about three inches long, always slipping the first -knitted stitch. Now knit, from the right-hand side, the 12 -stitches; then the seam-stitch, which from this time forward you -cease to make. Knit 4 stitches beyond it; knit 2 together; -knit 1; turn, pearl until you get to 4 beyond the seam-stitch, -pearl 2 together, pearl 1, turn. Knit until you come to the -stitch in the previous row where you turned—you may know it -easily by the little hole which was formed by the turning; you -now knit 2 together and knit one more stitch, then turn. Pearl -the next row, of course always pearling 2 together where the -little hole has been left, and so on until you have gradually -worked off the stitches. You then pick up the side-stitches of -this flap and the heel is finished.</p> - -<div class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_12"></a>{12}</span></p> - -<h2 class="nobreak" id="To_decrease_for_toe"><i>To Decrease for the Toe of a Sock or Stocking.</i></h2> -</div> - -<p>Put half your stitches on one needle, a quarter on the second, -and a quarter on the third needle. Thus: suppose you have 60 -stitches, you must have 30 on one side and 15 on the other two. -The 30 must be the front or ribbed part, the two pins with 15 -stitches on them ought to be the sole part. In doubling your -knitting now, the front part ought to lie evenly on the sole of -the foot. Begin to knit the 30 stitches; knit 27, slip 1, knit 1, -pass the slipped stitch over, knit 1.

Do another piece in the same way, and for the back -cast on 22 and knit 5 plain rows: this part is for the neck.</p> - -<p>Sixth row—knit 4, increase; knit to within 4 of the end, and -increase again; knit the remaining 4.</p> - -<p>Seventh row—plain knitting.</p> - -<p>Do these alternately for 26 rows until you have 48 stitches; -knit 16 rows; then knit 1, take 2 together, take 2 together, make -1; plain to within 5 of the end where you make 1, take 2 together,<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_60"></a>{60}</span> -2 together again, knit the last. The next row plain. -Repeat these two rows alternately 12 times, then do 24 plain -rows and cast off.</p> - -<p>For the neck, pick up about 40 stitches in scarlet and do 4 -rows of ribbed knitting. Pick up 100 for the waist and do 8 -rows plain, also with scarlet, and 2 rows up the front. Finish -off with large buttons and elastic loops, and either knit 4 rows -(like the neck) round the sleeves, or put long ones. For the -latter cast on 40 stitches and knit 7 inches. Rib 20 rows in -scarlet for the wrist.</p> - - - - -<div class="chapter"> -<h2 class="nobreak" id="Childs_Gaiter_to_cost_1s_2d"><i>Child’s Gaiter, to cost 1s. 2d.</i></h2> -</div> - - -<p>Three needles, No. 11 or 12, and 2 oz. brown Berlin wool.</p> - -<p>Cast on 60 (for a very small child 54 will do), knit 3, pearl 3, -for 24 rows.

Thus, we do not -necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper -edition. - -Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search -facility: www.gutenberg.org - -This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, -including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary -Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to -subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. - - - -</pre> - -</body> -</html> diff --git a/old/62646-h/images/cover.jpg b/old/62646-h/images/cover.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index a4b98d7..0000000 --- a/old/62646-h/images/cover.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/62646-h/images/i023.jpg b/old/62646-h/images/i023.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index a7c14f2..0000000 --- a/old/62646-h/images/i023.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/62646-h/images/i026.jpg b/old/62646-h/images/i026.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index c637711..0000000 --- a/old/62646-h/images/i026.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/62646-h/images/i031.jpg b/old/62646-h/images/i031.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 88b1873..0000000 --- a/old/62646-h/images/i031.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/62646-h/images/i037.jpg b/old/62646-h/images/i037.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 182a321..0000000 --- a/old/62646-h/images/i037.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/62646-h/images/i058.jpg b/old/62646-h/images/i058.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 440b21a..0000000 --- a/old/62646-h/images/i058.jpg +++ /dev/null |
