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.</p> + +<p class='c007'><em>To Work Heel</em>—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.</p> + +<p class='c007'><em>For the Instep</em>—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 +<span class='pageno' id='Page_43'>43</span>the heel. Knit 30 rounds plain knitting on sole and ribbing on front +of foot. After this continue ribbing and do plain knitting.</p> + +<p class='c007'><em>To Shape Toe</em>—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.</p> + +<div class='chapter'> + <h2 class='c005'>CROCHETED AND KNITTED AMBULANCE OR HOSPITAL BLANKETS</h2> +</div> + +<div class='nf-center-c0'> +<div class='nf-center c004'> + <div>(<em>Courtesy of Mrs. Horace Leeds</em>)</div> + </div> +</div> + +<p class='c006'>The Ambulance or Hospital blankets can be made up of all colors of +wool, several colors in one block or plain blocks.
