The variety of unusual stitches is almost without limit and +leads the worker, who desires something out of the beaten path, into new +fields that tempt her to go on and on seeking and finding unknown +beauties at each step. Once mastered, Cro-Knitting may be used for +numerous purposes. + +In presenting this new art to the public, we feel that it will be +welcomed by the many friends of the BEAR BRAND MANUAL OF HANDIWORK. + +We have included, in addition to Cro-Knitting, a number of designs for +the new Crocheted Lattice Work that need only to be seen to be +appreciated. + +We wish, however, to advise the worker that in carrying out the various +directions given, she uses exactly the materials designated. The +directions were tested with the yarns and needles named and only by +their use can the proper results be obtained. Do not substitute another +yarn and then wonder why your work is not satisfactory. Use the yarn +specified— + + + BEAR BRAND + +[Illustration: + + Young Girl’s Norfolk + + (_For description see page 7_) +] + + + + + CRO-KNITTING + + +“To knit from a crochet hook and crochet from a knitting pin” is the +best description of Cro-Knitting. The rows of crocheting and knitting +are worked alternately or as the various patterns demand. The work +requires a pair of knitting pins (or needles, as they are sometimes +called) and a crochet hook of the same length and size as the pins. The +hook should be of an even thickness down its entire length, with a knob +at the end, as the stitches are allowed to accumulate on it as in afghan +stitch. + +The work is always commenced on a knitting pin, the stitches being cast +on in the usual manner (see Bear Brand Manual of Handiwork), followed by +one or more rows of plain knitting. + +KNITTED ROWS: the wool is to be held in the usual manner. The first +stitch is to be slipped or knitted as directed, but where a row of +knitting commences with a different wool, the first stitch is always +knitted, to keep the stripe distinct. + +CROCHETED ROWS: when working these from the knitting pin, the hook is +inserted through the stitch on the pin, as though it were a second +knitting pin (from left to right). When working into the back of a +stitch, the hook is inserted in reverse manner (from right to left). +When working the crocheted rows the wool is passed over the fingers of +the left hand. When two knitting stitches are taken together the hook is +passed through the stitch nearer the left hand (as in knitting) before +entering the stitch next to the point of the pin. When the back threads +of two stitches are taken together, this is reversed and the crochet +hook enters first the stitch at the point of the pin. As the crocheted +rows are worked from the stitches on the knitting pin, it is not +possible to “skip one” as in ordinary crocheting, as the stitch would +drop, but it is an easy matter to put one stitch into two knitting +stitches taken together, thus producing an extremely pretty effect. + +In the instructions, when the phrase occurs “1 double through two +stitches, 1 double through the back of the same two stitches,” the +repetition means that the stitches are to be held on the knitting pin +until the second double has been made; then slip stitches from pin. + +When knitting from the crochet hook the point of the hook must be kept +pointing downward to avoid catching the wool. + +STITCHES. The knitting stitches are merely the usual plain and purl. The +basic crochet stitches are single, double and treble crochet and the +various cluster stitches, some of which are illustrated. + +[Illustration] + + + SINGLE CROCHET STITCH. + +Cast on any number of stitches and knit 1 row. * With the crochet hook +draw the wool through the stitch on the knitting pin; wool over hook and +through the loop just drawn through, slip stitch from the pin and repeat +from * all across. After row has been finished, there should be as many +stitches on hook as there were on pin. + +[Illustration] + + + DOUBLE CROCHET STITCH. + +Cast on any number of stitches and knit one row. Wool over hook, draw +the wool through first stitch on pin: wool over and through the two +loops on hook. Slip stitch from knitting pin. * Wool over hook, draw +wool through next stitch on pin, wool over and through two loops, slip +stitch from pin and repeat from * all across. + +[Illustration] + + + TREBLE CROCHET STITCH. + +Cast on any number of stitches and knit one row. Insert hook in first +stitch and draw wool through, ch. 2 and slip stitch from pin. * Wool +over hook, draw wool through next stitch on pin, wool over and through +two loops, wool over and through one loop, slip stitch from pin and +repeat from * all across. + +[Illustration] + + + AUTOMOBILE STITCH. + +Cast on an even number of stitches and knit 4 rows. + +First pattern row: with crochet hook pull a loop through first stitch, +wool over and pick up another loop in same stitch, slip stitch from pin, +wool over and pick up a loop in next stitch, wool over and through all 5 +loops on hook, ch. 1, thus forming one cluster, slip stitch from pin, * +wool over and pick up a loop in next stitch, slip off pin, wool over and +pick up a loop in next stitch, wool over and through all 5 loops on +hook, ch. 1, slip stitch from pin and repeat from * all across. + +Second pattern row: pick up a loop in the back thread of second and all +remaining stitches, retaining loops on hook (as in afghan stitch). The +loop on hook will count as first stitch. + +Knit 2 rows. These four rows constitute one pattern. + + + CLUSTER STITCH. + +Cast on an even number of stitches and knit one row. + +[Illustration] + +Second row: insert crochet hook in first stitch, draw wool through, ch. +1, slip stitch from pin. * Make 1 treble crochet through the next two +stitches together, 1 double crochet through the back of the same two +stitches, slip stitches from pin and repeat from * all across, ending by +working final stitch as first was made. + +Knit 3 rows. Repeat these last four rows for the length desired. + + + LATTICE WORK. + +This is a variation of ordinary crocheting, the stitches being those +employed in that art. + +The work is done with regular crochet hooks of various sizes, as +designated in the instructions. + +The novel feature is the fact, that _in addition_ to the hook, one large +wooden pin, made like an ordinary knitting pin, is required. On this pin +the stitches are placed so that regularity in the height of the lattice +work rows is attained. + +These “Lattice Pins” are made in four sizes, the largest. No. 1, being +almost four inches in circumference. For fine lattice work a knitting +pin of the desired size can be substituted. + +The work is very simple and effective. + + + + + YOUNG GIRL’S NORFOLK. + + (_See illustration page 4_) + .ce 1 + Materials Required: + + 5 skeins Bear Brand German Knitting Yarn. + 1 skein contrasting color, knitting yarn. + 1 pair of amber knitting pins, No. 7 (14 in. long). + 1 amber crochet hook, No. 7, same length. + + +Using two threads of the principal color cast on 46 stitches for the +lower edge of sleeve. K. 2, p. 2 for 15 rows. Knit 40 rows (20 purl). +Knit the first stitch on pin throughout. On the 41st row increase by +knitting 2 stitches in the first and last stitches of row. Continue to +increase, in this way, on every fifth row until there are 56 stitches on +the pin, then work without increasing, until there are 90 rows (45 +purls) in all, for the sleeve. Cast on 70 stitches, knit back on these +stitches and the 56 sleeve stitches, then cast on 70 more stitches. On +these 196 stitches knit 30 rows. On the next row, k. 32, bind off 6 +stitches for belt opening of front, knit until 42 stitches remain +unworked, then bind off 6 stitches for belt opening in back. On the next +row, change to a single thread of contrasting color and knit back +casting on the 12 stitches which were bound off for the openings. + +The Cro-Knitting band is next to be made of contrasting color. Beginning +at the lower edge of the front make first fancy row as follows: with +crochet hook pull a loop through first stitch on the knitting pin, slip +loop from pin, * pull a loop through next stitch, pull another loop +through the back of same stitch, slip stitch from pin, pull a loop +through front of next stitch and another through back of same stitch, +hold stitch on pin, wool over and through 4 loops on hook, ch. 1, pull a +loop through back stitch of cluster, then slip stitch from pin, wool +over and repeat from * until one stitch remains, do not throw wool over +after last cluster, draw loop through final stitch. + +Second fancy row: k. 2, * k. the next stitch and the stitch that was +thrown over together, k. 1 and repeat from * until 3 stitches remain, k. +3. Knit 2 plain rows. Repeat the two fancy rows, knit 2 plain rows and +again repeat the two fancy rows, for the last fancy row changing to 2 +threads of principal color. This completes the band. It will be noticed +that the wrong side of the first fancy row is shown on the right side of +band. + +Knit 11 rows, on the first two of these rows making openings for belt as +made on the other side of Cro-Knitting band. The last row ends at the +lower edge of the back. Knit 98 stitches for the length of back and run +remaining stitches on to a thread; turn, k. the first 2 stitches +together then knit to the end of the row. At the end of the next row +knit the last 2 stitches together to shape the neck. Knit 22 rows, then +2 rows, increasing 1 stitch on each row, at neck end. Run these stitches +on an extra pin or thread but do not fasten off wool. Take another ball +and make right front. Cast on 94 stitches with contrasting color and +knit 4 rows, make 2 fancy rows of Cro-Knitting, knit 1 row, on the next +row make button holes, as follows: k. 3, * bind off 3, k. 8 and repeat +from *. Eight button holes, in all. On the next row cast on the 3 +stitches opposite those bound off. Knit one row then repeat the two +fancy rows, on the last of these change to principal color. Knit 8 rows, +then 4 rows increasing 1 stitch at the neck end of each row. The last +row should end at the neck. Fasten off wool. + +Take the stitches of the back from the thread on to knitting pin +beginning with the stitch at the lower edge of back and with the ball of +wool left there, work to the lower edge of the front. Knit 11 plain +rows, not forgetting the belt openings, then 1 row of contrasting color +and repeat Cro-Knitting band as made on first side. Make second side of +back and sleeve to match first side. After finishing the 15 rows of k. +2, p. 2 ribbing on second sleeve, knit 2 plain rows, of contrasting +color, then repeat the Cro-Knitting band as made on body of garment, +making four patterns instead of three to form turn back cuff. Make two +extra plain rows and bind off. + +Pick up the 46 stitches at bottom of first sleeve and on them knit +second cuff to match first one made. + +Take the 98 stitches from thread and on them knit the left front, as +follows: knit 4 rows, decreasing by knitting 2 stitches together at the +neck end of each row, then knit 16 rows plain and bind off on wrong +side. + +Pick up 52 stitches around neck with contrasting color and knit 4 rows, +2 fancy Cro-Knitting rows, knit 1 row. Eighth row: k. 3, bind off 3, +knit to end. On the next row cast on the 3 stitches bound off for the +button hole. Knit 1 row, 2 fancy rows, knit 1 row and bind off. + +Belt: using contrasting color, cast on 134 stitches and knit 4 rows, 2 +fancy rows, k. 4 rows, 2 fancy rows, k. 2 rows then bind off on wrong +side. + +Sew up under arm seams and sleeves. + + + + +[Illustration] + + CUTAWAY JACKET. + + Materials Required: + + ½ box Bear Brand Germantown, 4-fold. + 2 skeins contrasting color Germantown, 4-fold. + 1 amber crochet hook, No. 4, 14 inches long. + 1 pair amber knitting pins, No. 4, same length. + + +Using the principal color, cast on 78 stitches and work, in Raspberry +stitch, as follows: + +First row: knit plain. + +Second row: purl. + +Third row: with crochet hook make 1 d. c. in first stitch, slip stitch +from pin; * 1 d. c. through the next two stitches, keeping the stitches +on knitting pin, 1 s. c. through the back of the same two stitches. Slip +the two knitted stitches from the pin and repeat from * all along the +row, ending with 1 d. c. in the final stitch. + +Fourth row: purl. + +Fifth row: knit. + +Sixth row: like third. These six rows constitute one pattern and are +repeated over and over again for the whole jacket. After four rows of +clusters have been made, decrease by knitting together the two first and +the two last stitches of the knitted row. Begin the next cluster row by +working a whole cluster through the two first stitches on pin and end +row in same manner through the two last stitches. Make one more row of +clusters, in same way, then decrease, as before, on the knitted row. The +next two cluster rows will begin and end with 1 d. c. in the first and +last stitches. + +Continue to decrease in this way, until six stitches in all have been +decreased at each end. 66 stitches remain. After two more cluster rows +have been made, increase, by knitting two stitches in the first and last +stitches of the knitted row, and continue to increase after _each_ +cluster row until 4 stitches have been added at each end. On these 74 +stitches continue until the work measures about 23 inches, or is long +enough to reach to the neck. + +Divide for neck and shoulders, as follows: knit 28 stitches and run them +on a thread or extra pin; bind off 18 stitches for neck and on the +remaining 28 stitches begin the left front. Increase at the neck end, on +each of the knitted and purled rows until there are 50 stitches on the +pin. On these 50 stitches continue until four cluster rows have been +made, then at front edge decrease 1 stitch on each of the knitted and +purled rows, keeping the under arm seam straight until waistline has +been reached; then increase at the under arm seam on the knitted and +purled rows, every other time. Continue decreasing on front edge, as +before. Work until front is as long as the back, and bind off. + +Take the stitches from the thread and on them make the right front, as +left was made, taking care to keep them opposites. Sew up the under arm +seams, leaving enough space at the top for the arm holes. + +BORDER. Around the entire garment and arm holes work, in plain +crocheting, as follows: + +First round: 1 s. c. in each stitch. + +Second round: 1 d. c. in each stitch of preceding round, putting extra +stitches on rounding corners to prevent capping. + +Third round: 1 d. c. around the post of each d. c. of second round. No +extra stitches on corners. When this round has been finished turn it +back all around garment. + +Using the contrasting color, work around outside edge, as follows: * 1 +s. c. in stitch, ch. 3, another s. c. in same stitch, skip 1 stitch and +repeat from * all around. Work the same finish all around the edge of +the turned-back round, skipping one stitch between picots around neck +and sleeves and on the rounding edges skipping two stitches between or +enough to make the border perfectly flat. + +Fasten the right front over the left with crocheted buttons and frogs +made of the contrasting color. The frogs are made of a chain stitch +cord, using two threads of the wool. Use washable button molds and +crochet a covering for them, as follows: ch. 3 and join in a ring, 6 s. +c. in the ring. Do not join. 2 s. c. in each stitch of the preceding +round, then widen enough to make work flat until the desired size has +been attained. Make 1 round without widening and then skip every other +stitch until proper size. Slip in mold, draw up and sew in place. + +Place three buttons and frogs on each under arm seam. + +[Illustration: + + Lattice Work Scarf +] + + + + + LATTICE WORK SCARF. + + Materials Required: + + 13 skeins Bear Brand Germantown, 4-fold. + 4 skeins Bear Brand Rococo Wool. + 1 amber or bone crochet hook, No. 5. + 1 Lattice Pin, No. 1 (16 inches long). + + +(NOTE—_These directions are based on 16 skeins to the box Germantown. If +the “10 skeins to the box” wool is used, the number of skeins required +will be proportionately less._) + +Using the Germantown and crochet hook, chain 62 and turn. Make 1 double +crochet stitch (1 d. c.) in the fourth chain from the needle and 1 d. c. +in each of the other chains. 60 d. c. in all, counting the three chains +skipped as 1 d. c. Turn. The work should measure 14 inches in length and +be ¾ of an inch high. + +Second row: ch. 2, wool over and take up a loop through the front thread +of the second stitch of previous row, wool over and through all three +loops on needle, thus forming one short, double crochet stitch. Continue +making 1 s. d. c. in each stitch to the end, always counting the chain +made when beginning row as one stitch.

Turn and * draw a loop through the back +thread of first stitch and through the loop on needle, thus forming 1 +slip stitch (1 s. s.). Repeat from * in each stitch of row. Turn. Make 1 +single crochet stitch in each stitch of double crochet row taking up the +back thread. Through the last stitch draw the Rococo wool and fasten off +Germantown. + +Lattice Work: draw up the loop of Rococo and slip it on the Lattice pin. +This pin is held under the right arm firmly. Hold the wrong side of work +toward you and with crochet hook pull a loop of wool through the double +threads of second stitch and slip it on the pin. Continue drawing one +loop through each stitch to the end—60 loops on pin. Join on the +Germantown and fasten off Rococo. Slip loops off the pin. * Draw the +fourth, fifth and sixth loops, in turn, through the first three loops +and make 1 s. c. in each loop as it is drawn through; then 1 s. c. in +each of the first three loops, thus forming the lattice.

Then repeat the first, second and again the first row. +When making the second rows the stitches are to be taken up on the back +threads of the fourth rows. + +The center is made as the second and third rows of scarf were made: the +first row of d. c. being taken on back thread of border and all +subsequent d. c. rows taken through the double thread. Make center 50 +inches long, then repeat border. Make 5 rows to match beginning and then +begin border down the side of scarf. Make a row of s. c. putting 3 s. c. +in the end of each d. c. row and 2 s. c. in each s. d. c. row, or enough +to make work flat. Across the end of each lattice row chain 3. Be sure +this row contains a multiple of six stitches. Turn and slip stitch on +the back thread of s. c. stitches and across the 3 chained stitches. +Continue as border was made on ends until two rows of lattice work have +been made, then repeat first, second and again the first border rows and +fasten off.

Draw Persian Lamb through the very beginning +of last row and make 1 single crochet stitch there. Continue making 1 s. +c. in each stitch to end of row, chain 1 and turn. Work 4 _more_ rows in +Persian Lamb, putting 1 s. c. in each stitch of preceding row and taking +up both threads of stitch. The Persian Lamb stripe should be two inches +deep. + +Change to Germantown and make stripe, as before. Continue alternating +the Persian Lamb and Germantown stripes until there are 5 Germantown +stripes, in all. + +Border: using the Persian Lamb, work all around the afghan in single +crochet, widening at corners by putting 3 s. c. in each corner on first +round; putting 2 s. c. in each corner on second round. Alternate first +and second rounds for the depth desired. + + + + + INFANT’S JACKET IN SQUARES. + + Materials Required: + + 2 skeins, Bear Brand Zephyr Shetland. + 2 skeins, Bear Brand Pompadour. + 1 bone crochet hook, No. 1. + + +The entire jacket is made in the ordinary crocheting. + +[Illustration] + +The work is begun at the neck with the Pompadour wool. Chain 147, turn, +skip 1 ch., 1 single crochet stitch (1 s. c.) in the next, * ch. 4, skip +4 chs., 1 s. c. in the next and repeat from * to the end of the row. +Fasten off. + +Second row: go back to the beginning of first row and using the Zephyr +Shetland, make 4 double crochet stitches (4 d. c.) in each chain loop +across row drawing up the stitches so they are three-eighths of an inch +high. Fasten off at the end of each row and begin next row at the other +end. + +Third row: use Pompadour and make 1 s.c. in the first stitch * ch. 4, 1 +s. c. in the space between clusters and repeat from * all across, ending +with 1 s. c. in the final stitch of previous row. + +Every other row is made like the third row and no further mention will +be made of it. + +Fourth row: like second row until 6 clusters have been made. Make 3 d. +c. in the next s. c. (thus increasing), make 8 clusters, increase as +before, 9 clusters, increase, 6 clusters to end. + +Sixth row: use Zephyr Shetland. Make 6 clusters, increase, 1 cluster, +increase again (thus commencing first shoulder), 18 clusters across +back, increase, 1 cluster, increase, 6 clusters. Every other row is made +of the Zephyr Shetland. + +Eighth row: 6 clusters, increase, 3 clusters, increase, 9 clusters, +increase, 9 clusters, increase, 3 clusters, increase, 6 clusters. + +Tenth row: 6 clusters, increase, 5 clusters, increase, 19 clusters, +increase, 5 clusters, increase, 6 clusters. + +Twelfth row: 6 clusters, increase, 7 clusters, increase, 10 clusters, +increase, 9 clusters, increase, 7 clusters, increase, 6 clusters. + +Fourteenth row: 6 clusters then fasten off. This is the first short row +of left front. On it work the pattern rows 5 times, 6 rows in all. On +the second and every d. c. row increase in the s. c. preceding the final +cluster to shape the arm hole. + +The short rows for the back are next to be made. + +Skip to the other side of second increasing of shoulder, work to first +increasing on second shoulder and fasten off. Work 6 rows in all across +the back, increasing in the center of every second row. + +The right front is made like the left, increasing at the beginning of +rows instead of at the end. + +First long row below the arms, work with Pompadour wool, as usual, +across the first front, ch. 4, work across back, ch. 4 and across second +front. On this row repeat the pattern rows until there are 8 cluster +rows, on these cluster rows increasing in the center of back on every +other cluster row. The last row will be a Pompadour row. Do not fasten +off, turn, work up the front around neck and down second front. Fasten +off. With the Zephyr Shetland make 4 single crochet stitches in each +loop around the bottom and down the fronts. + +Begin at the neck of left front and with the Pompadour make * 1 d. c. in +the second s. c. below, then 1 d. c. in the first s. c., crossing it +over first d. c. Repeat from * around the three sides of jacket. In the +4 stitches of each corner work the 2 crossed d. c. in one stitch, to +keep the corners full enough for the succeeding rows. + +Second border row: with Zephyr Shetland make 1 d. c. in each stitch of +previous row, taking up both threads of stitch. + +Third row: use Pompadour and make 1 s. c. in each stitch, taking up both +threads. + +Fourth row: like second. Turn and make 1 s. c. in first stitch, * ch. 3, +4 d. c. in same stitch, skip 3 stitches along edge, 1 s. c. in the next +and repeat from * around jacket and neck. Join and fasten off. + +Sixth row: use Pompadour and work on the right side. Make 1 s. c. in the +center skipped stitch on fourth row, * ch. 3, 1 s. c. in top of ch. loop +on fifth row, ch. 3, 1 s. c., ch. 3, 1 s. c., ch. 3, 1 s. c., all in the +same loop, ch. 3, 1 s. c. in center of next 3 skipped stitches on fourth +row, and repeat from *. Join and fasten off. + +Sleeve. Make a foundation row of chains and s. c. in Pompadour, +beginning at one end of the yoke and working down and around the arm +hole to the opposite point of the yoke. This row when completed, +corresponds to the third row. + +Second sleeve row: work clusters in Zephyr Shetland. Continue in pattern +without increase, until there are 13 cluster rows, in all. Next cluster +row make 3 d. c. in each cluster instead of 4 d. c. On the next +Pompadour row, ch. 3 instead of 4. Make a cluster row having 2 d. c. in +each cluster, followed by a Pompadour row having 2 chs. to each loop. +The sleeve should be the proper size for the wrist. Sew up. Finish with +a border like that around the body of jacket and fasten off. Make second +sleeve like first. + +Through the open neck row run a cord chained of Zephyr Shetland and +finished with tassels of the same. + + + KEEPING THE ENDS EVEN. + +Few crocheters realize the importance of exactly following directions +for the ends of rows. Skipping an occasional stitch seems a small matter +to many, when that stitch comes at the end of the row and an occasional +added stitch is decreed to be equally trivial. Yet frequently they spoil +the work. Many a woman while making an afghan, after hours have been +spent, finds that her work is all crooked, going off at an unexpected +angle, although she may have followed directions exactly, excepting as +to the ends. If you want straight edges, learn how the ends must be +worked and make each row exactly as it should be. + + + TO STRAIGHTEN KNITTED OR CROCHETED FLAT WORK. + +Wring out white cotton cloth in cold water. Spread cloth on table, then +place article on cloth with the right side up, and pin in the desired +shape. Cover with a clean, _dry_ cloth and let it remain until entirely +dry. + + + TO WASH WOOLEN ARTICLES. + +Have lukewarm water in which some pure white soap has been dissolved. +Soak the garment ten minutes, then squeeze out (not wring), removing the +stains by squeezing between the hands. + +Rinse through two waters, each of the same temperature as the water in +which garment was soaked. + +Most important is the drying process. If possible, lay the garment flat +on a sheet where it will dry quickly. If a sweater or large garment is +to be dried, it should first be dropped in the bottom of a pillow slip +or cheese-cloth bag, the slip hung up by the open end and the garment be +allowed to drip until nearly dry. Then spread on a sheet to dry, drawing +the garment into shape from time to time and turning frequently. If it +_must_ be hung up, hang evenly. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------ + + + + + BEAR BRAND MANUAL OF HANDIWORK + + +[Illustration] + +The recognized authority on the arts of knitting and crocheting has +nearly two hundred pages, full of illustrated instructions.

The work requires a pair of knitting +pins (or needles, as they are sometimes called) +and a crochet hook of the same length and size +as the pins. The hook should be of an even thickness +down its entire length, with a knob at the +end, as the stitches are allowed to accumulate on +it as in afghan stitch.</p> + +<p class='c004'>The work is always commenced on a knitting +pin, the stitches being cast on in the usual manner +(see Bear Brand Manual of Handiwork), +followed by one or more rows of plain knitting.</p> + +<p class='c004'>KNITTED ROWS: the wool is to be held in +the usual manner. The first stitch is to be +slipped or knitted as directed, but where a row of +knitting commences with a different wool, the +first stitch is always knitted, to keep the stripe +distinct.</p> + +<p class='c004'>CROCHETED ROWS: when working these +from the knitting pin, the hook is inserted +through the stitch on the pin, as though it were +a second knitting pin (from left to right). When +working into the back of a stitch, the hook is +inserted in reverse manner (from right to left). +When working the crocheted rows the wool is +passed over the fingers of the left hand. When +two knitting stitches are taken together the hook +is passed through the stitch nearer the left hand +(as in knitting) before entering the stitch next to +the point of the pin. When the back threads of +two stitches are taken together, this is reversed +and the crochet hook enters first the stitch at the +point of the pin. As the crocheted rows are +worked from the stitches on the knitting pin, it +is not possible to “skip one” as in ordinary crocheting, +as the stitch would drop, but it is an +easy matter to put one stitch into two knitting +stitches taken together, thus producing an extremely +pretty effect.</p> + +<p class='c004'>In the instructions, when the phrase occurs “1 +double through two stitches, 1 double through the +back of the same two stitches,” the repetition +means that the stitches are to be held on the +knitting pin until the second double has been +made; then slip stitches from pin.</p> + +<p class='c004'>When knitting from the crochet hook the point +of the hook must be kept pointing downward to +avoid catching the wool.</p> + +<p class='c004'>STITCHES. The knitting stitches are merely +the usual plain and purl.

Repeat from * around the three +sides of jacket. In the 4 stitches of each corner +work the 2 crossed d. c. in one stitch, to keep +the corners full enough for the succeeding rows.</p> + +<p class='c004'>Second border row: with Zephyr Shetland +make 1 d. c. in each stitch of previous row, taking +up both threads of stitch.</p> + +<p class='c004'>Third row: use Pompadour and make 1 s. c. +in each stitch, taking up both threads.</p> + +<p class='c004'>Fourth row: like second. Turn and make 1 +s. c. in first stitch, * ch. 3, 4 d. c. in same stitch, +skip 3 stitches along edge, 1 s. c. in the next and +repeat from * around jacket and neck. Join and +fasten off.</p> + +<p class='c004'>Sixth row: use Pompadour and work on the +right side. Make 1 s. c. in the center skipped +stitch on fourth row, * ch. 3, 1 s. c. in top of ch. +loop on fifth row, ch. 3, 1 s. c., ch. 3, 1 s. c., +ch. 3, 1 s. c., all in the same loop, ch. 3, 1 s. c. +in center of next 3 skipped stitches on fourth +row, and repeat from *. Join and fasten off.</p> + +<p class='c004'>Sleeve. Make a foundation row of chains and +s. c. in Pompadour, beginning at one end of the +yoke and working down and around the arm +hole to the opposite point of the yoke. This row +when completed, corresponds to the third row.</p> + +<p class='c004'>Second sleeve row: work clusters in Zephyr +Shetland. Continue in pattern without increase, +until there are 13 cluster rows, in all. Next +cluster row make 3 d. c. in each cluster instead +of 4 d. c. On the next Pompadour row, ch. 3 +instead of 4. Make a cluster row having 2 d. c. +in each cluster, followed by a Pompadour row +having 2 chs. to each loop. The sleeve should +be the proper size for the wrist. Sew up. Finish +with a border like that around the body of +jacket and fasten off. Make second sleeve like +first.</p> + +<p class='c004'>Through the open neck row run a cord chained +of Zephyr Shetland and finished with tassels of +the same.</p> + +<h3 class='c008'>KEEPING THE ENDS EVEN.</h3> + +<p class='c009'>Few crocheters realize the importance of exactly +following directions for the ends of rows. +Skipping an occasional stitch seems a small matter +to many, when that stitch comes at the end +of the row and an occasional added stitch is decreed +to be equally trivial. Yet frequently they +spoil the work. Many a woman while making +an afghan, after hours have been spent, finds +that her work is all crooked, going off at an +unexpected angle, although she may have followed +directions exactly, excepting as to the +ends. If you want straight edges, learn how the +ends must be worked and make each row exactly +as it should be.</p> + +<h3 class='c008'>TO STRAIGHTEN KNITTED OR CROCHETED FLAT WORK.</h3> + +<p class='c009'>Wring out white cotton cloth in cold water. +Spread cloth on table, then place article on cloth +with the right side up, and pin in the desired +shape. Cover with a clean, <em>dry</em> cloth and let it +remain until entirely dry.</p> + +<h3 class='c008'>TO WASH WOOLEN ARTICLES.</h3> + +<p class='c009'>Have lukewarm water in which some pure +white soap has been dissolved. Soak the garment +ten minutes, then squeeze out (not wring), removing +the stains by squeezing between the hands.</p> + +<p class='c004'>Rinse through two waters, each of the same +temperature as the water in which garment was +soaked.</p> + +<p class='c004'>Most important is the drying process. If possible, +lay the garment flat on a sheet where it will +dry quickly. If a sweater or large garment is to +be dried, it should first be dropped in the bottom +of a pillow slip or cheese-cloth bag, the slip +hung up by the open end and the garment be allowed +to drip until nearly dry. Then spread on a +sheet to dry, drawing the garment into shape +from time to time and turning frequently. If it +<em>must</em> be hung up, hang evenly.</p> + +<div class='pbb'> + <hr class='pb c010'> +</div> +<div class='chapter ph1'> + +<div class='nf-center-c0'> +<div class='nf-center c001'> + <div>BEAR BRAND MANUAL OF HANDIWORK</div> + </div> +</div> + +</div> + +<div class='figright id003'> +<img src='images/i_049.jpg' alt='' class='ig001'> +</div> +<p class='drop-capa0_0_6 c002'>The recognized authority on the arts of +knitting and crocheting has nearly two +hundred pages, full of illustrated instructions. +It is a fund of knowledge, as well +as pleasure, for beginners and experts.</p> + +<p class='c004'>It describes the famous <span class='sc'>Bear Brand Yarns</span> +and tells how to use them for making many +beautiful garments, giving explicit directions +from the first stitch to the last one.</p> + +<p class='c004'>If you have enjoyed the work as planned in +this Cro-Knitting book you should certainly +have the MANUAL which has been compiled +with equal care.
