+ Knit Your Bit
+
+
+ Swiftly, to and fro,
+ Let your needles fly!
+ Be not yours to know
+ Pause, for tear or sigh.
+
+ Stitch by stitch they grow,
+ Garments soft and warm
+ That will keep life’s glow
+ In some shivering form.
+
+ Sweater, muffler, sock,
+ For the soldiers’ wear!
+ List to pity’s knock—
+ For those “over there.”
+
+ Children’s voices, too,
+ In the sad refrain,
+ Wring our hearts anew,
+ From that world of pain.
+
+ Banish for a while
+ Tints of brighter hue,
+ Welcome with a smile
+ Khaki, gray and blue.
+
+ Days are cold and drear,
+ Nights are long and bleak,
+ Thoughts from home are dear,
+ Where the cannons shriek.
+
+ Let some simple thing,
+ That your hand employs,
+ Cheer and comfort bring
+ To our gallant Boys.
+
+ May there be no end
+ To what love supplies!
+ Thus their share we’ll send
+ To our brave Allies!

+the right-hand side of the flap, and take off half of the 12 heel
+stitches on to this needle, dividing the stitches evenly on the 2 heel
+needles. The foot is knitted plain.
+
+Now count the stitches in the whole round. The _difference_ between this
+number and the number of stitches in a round at the ankle will give the
+number of stitches to be decreased at the instep. Then divide number of
+stitches to be decreased by two and this will give the number of rounds
+in which intakes must be worked.
+
+To work round of instep decreasings. Knit to within 2 stitches of the
+end of the left-hand heel needle, knit these 2 together. Knit along the
+instep needle. At the beginning of the right-hand heel slip 1, knit 1,
+and pull the slipped stitch over the knitted one. Knit to the end of
+round. Go on decreasing in this way until you have 4 consecutive rounds,
+then every other round until you have 15 stitches on each heel needle;
+the number of stitches on the 2 heel needles should be equal to the
+instep needle. Continue knitting plain rounds until the foot measures 9
+inches, then commence to shape the toe, by beginning on the instep
+needle with 30 stitches.
+
+1st round. * Slip 1, knit 2 together, † slip 1, knit 1; repeat from † to
+within 3 stitches of the end of the needle, then knit 2 together, knit
+1. The 2 back needles with 15 stitches on each are to be treated as one
+needle and worked as the instep needle, therefore repeat from *. This
+completes the round.
+
+2nd round. † knit 1, slip 1, repeat from † to end of round, knitting the
+last stitch.
+
+3rd round. † Slip 1, knit 1, repeat from † to end of round, knitting the
+last stitch. Repeat from * to the end of third round 3 times. There
+should be 44 stitches in the round.
+
+Next round. ** Slip 1, knit 2 together; * Slip 1, knit 1; repeat from *
+to within three of the end of needle, then knit 2 together. Knit 1.
+Repeat from ** for the working of the two back needles, treating them as
+one.
+
+Next round. * Knit 1, slip 1; repeat from * to end of round, but knit
+the last stitch. Repeat from ** till the stitches number 12.
+
+Divide the stitches equally on 2 needles and cast off, darning the end
+of the wool up and down the side of the toe to make the fastening very
+secure. Fold the sock along the centre back of leg and press under a
+heavy weight.

+
+Cast on 51 stitches, 18 on each of 2 needles, 15 on the 3d, knit 2, purl
+2, for 3½ inches for the wrist; then knit plain for 1 inch, or 9 times
+around. Shift the stitches so that you have 17 on each needle and begin
+the thumb where the end of your yarn should start. Knit 1, increase as
+follows (insert the needle in the stitch, make a stitch in back of same
+stitch and make another stitch, now slip the stitch off the needle, this
+gives you 2 stitches in 1).
+
+Knit plain until you come to last 2 stitches. On 3d needle, increase 1
+and knit last one then knit round once, widening 1 stitch each side,
+until 24 stitches added for the thumb being careful always to make an
+extra stitch in the one you last made. When you have 24 stitches, knit
+one round until you come to where the thumb stitches begin; tie the 24
+stitches on a string to hold until the finger part is done. Cast on 10
+stitches on the needle where the yarn is, and knit once around. On the
+next round narrow one stitch at the beginning and end of the 10
+stitches; do this for 5 rounds till you have again 17 stitches on each
+needle. The object of the 10 extra stitches is to form a gore. Knit
+plain for 3½ inches, begin to narrow, knit 2 together at beginning and
+end of each needle for 1 round. Knit a round plain, then a narrowing
+round, so on alternately until 2 stitches are remaining on each needle,
+break off your yarn. Leave the end long enough to thread a needle and
+draw through 6 stitches and fasten securely on wrong side. Now take the
+24 stitches of the thumb and the 10 of the gore and put 18 stitches on
+one needle (10 of the gore and 4 on each side of it) and 8 on each of
+the other 2 needles. Knit 1 round plain. Then for each succeeding round,
+till the gore is gone, narrow 1 stitch at the beginning and end of the

+
+
+ CHILD’S ¾-LENGTH SOCK, WITH SCOTCH TOP
+
+
+4 To 6 Years
+
+ 2 Ounces of 3-Ply Fingering
+ 4 Steel Knitting Needles No. 17, Pointed at Both Ends
+
+Set up 73 stitches (24 each on 3 needles) knit 9 rounds plain. 10th
+round: * Bring the wool forward as in purling and knit 2 together repeat
+from * then knit to end of round. Knit 11th round plain and continue for
+8 rounds. 20th round: fold over the set up round of knitting on inside,
+it must exactly meet the last round. Knit the 1 stitch of the 19th round
+and 1st set up stitch together; 2nd stitch of 19th round and 2nd set up
+stitch together and continue all around. This makes a hem and the 10th
+round forms a scalloped edge. Great care must be taken to get 1st and
+last rounds even. Now knit 3 rounds plain and the 24th to the 48th round
+(inclusive) also knit plain. Work in ribbing on 49th round by knitting 3
+and purling 1 alternately and continue to rib 76 rounds like 49th round.
+The next round work the ribbing as far as the 4th plain rib on the 3rd
+needle; of this rib knit the first 2 stitches together, knit 1, purl 1
+(for the seam stitch), knit 1, slip 1, knit 1, draw the slipped stitch
+over and then work the rest of the round as usual. Knit the next 3
+rounds without decreasing and after every 3rd round knit together the
+3rd and 2nd stitches before the seam stitch and the 2nd and 3rd stitches
+after it. You should have 16 stitches on the needle. Now work 24 more
+rounds of ribbing without decreasing and divide the stitches so as to
+have 15 stitches before the seam and 16 after it; making 32 in all. The
+other 2 needles should each have 16 stitches. Knit these 32 stitches on
+the back needle; turn the work and purl 1 row and knit 1 row
+alternately, until you have 12 rows of these stitches.
+
+_To Work Heel_—Knit 2 together at the beginning and end of every plain
+row until you have 12 stitches left. In every following row pick up the
+next stitch down the side after the last worked stitch on the needle and
+knit or purl, according to the row, till all the stitches are taken up
+and the heel is closed. On reaching top of 12 row pick up the stitches
+down the side of these rows. Go on ribbing as usual on the 2 other
+needles; pick up the stitches at side of 12 following rows then knit
+heel round to the front ribbing. Continue this ribbing until toe is
+reached.
+
+_For the Instep_—Decrease at each side of heel every other row by
+knitting together 2 stitches after the last purl rib. Knit the heel
+except the last 2 stitches before the first purled rib; slip the 1st of
+these, knit the next stitch and draw slipped stitch over. Go on
+decreasing until the stitches on the heel needle are reduced to 32 as
+they were in the ankle before beginning the heel. Knit 30 rounds plain
+knitting on sole and ribbing on front of foot. After this continue
+ribbing and do plain knitting.
+
+_To Shape Toe_—In every other round decrease at beginning of right-hand
+sole needle and at end of left-hand sole needle; also at each end of
+front needle. Knit 2 together, knit 1. Repeat these 2 decreasings on the
+front needles. When you have reduced the stitches to 8 on the sole and
+front, put needles together and cast off the stitches. Be sure to carry
+end of wool to wrong side of a wool needle, and fasten by running it in
+and out before cutting off.

+ CROCHETED AND KNITTED AMBULANCE OR HOSPITAL BLANKETS
+
+ (_Courtesy of Mrs. Horace Leeds_)
+
+
+The Ambulance or Hospital blankets can be made up of all colors of wool,
+several colors in one block or plain blocks. The idea is to use up wool
+left from garments made of bright colors. The Cross and Flag centres
+were designed by Mrs. Leeds.
+
+
+
+
+ CROCHET BLANKET WITH CROSS IN CENTRE
+
+
+56 by 78 Inches
+
+ 4-Fold Wool, 4 Lbs.
+ Bone Hook No. 5
+
+Single crochet 8 strips—7 inches wide—56 inches. Length per strip—78.
+Sew strips together on right side with black patent thread. Single
+crochet each seam with black 4-Fold wool. Finish edge with small shell
+having 5 double crochet in each shell.
+
+Crocheted blocks—6½ by 6½ inches.—108 blocks. Cross in centre crocheted
+in one piece is equal to 5 blocks. 5 strips of 9 blocks each above the
+cross. 4 strips of 9 blocks each below the cross. 4 blocks in each strip
+to right and left above and below center of cross. 3 blocks each side of
+center of cross. Sew blocks in strips on right side with black patent
+thread. Single crochet each seam with 4 black fold wool. Edge with small
+shell.
+
+
+
+
+ KNITTED BLOCKS FOR BLANKETS, 6½ by 6½
+
+
+ No. 5 Knitting Needles
+
+Join and finish same as in directions for crocheted blanket, cut a piece
+of cardboard measuring 6½ by 6½ inches and knit blocks or crochet blocks
+to fit cardboard. I find it is the safest way to measure correctly as
+everyone does not knit or crochet alike.
+
+
+
+
+ KNITTED BLANKET WITH AMERICAN FLAG CENTRE
+
+ (_Courtesy of Mrs. Horace Leeds_)
+
+
+ 2 Amber or Bone Knitting Needles No. 5

+Blanket required 84 blocks 6½ by 6½ inches, and Flag in the center,
+using 4 strips of 9 blocks each above, and 4 strips of 9 blocks each
+below the flag. Two strips 3 blocks each on each side of Flag making 6
+blocks each side of Flag.
+
+
+
+
+ FLAG
+
+
+Blue block 6½ by 8 inches—43 stitches, 35 ribs, 48 stars.
+
