+ The SUNLIGHT Book of Knitting and Crocheting
+
+
+Experienced knitters and crocheters will appreciate this newest edition
+of the Sunlight Book of Knitting and Crocheting—because it presents the
+very latest novelties as well as new ideas for making many articles of
+unchanging style.
+
+Beginners will find every step made clear by directions as simple and
+easily understood as though they were demonstrated by a teacher, because
+the instructions were all written from actual work on the articles.
+
+The illustrations and directions embrace an almost unlimited variety of
+useful and appreciated articles.
+
+Tiny bootees, afghans, hoods and sacques for the baby—warm skirt or
+tasseled cap for the little girl—sweater and sturdy mittens for the
+boy—a skating cap or sweater after a new and natty model for the man—a
+comfortable shawl or slippers for the grandmother and innumerable
+fancies from opera capes to bridge and motor jackets for the friend.
+
+That the hours of work on any article may not go for naught with its
+first washing, it is imperative to select yarns that have proven
+trustworthy.
+
+Sunlight Yarns have for many years been recognized as meeting all the
+requirements of satisfactory work, lasting colors and long wear.
+
+
+
+
+ There is a SUNLIGHT Yarn for every kind of Knitting and Crocheting
+
+
+=SUNLIGHT Golf Yarn= is a four-ply, lofty yarn of hard wearing quality,
+made in a line of heather shades and brilliant colorings, especially
+suitable for golf jackets, stockings, toques, children’s sweater coats,
+caps, etc.
+
+=SUNLIGHT German Knitting Worsted= is well known for its extreme wearing
+qualities. The greatest of care is exercised to produce a round, even
+thread with just the right amount of twist to make it knit up well. It
+is made in a full line of colors, prints and mixtures, and is used for
+knitting hose, gloves, sweaters and other articles that must stand wear
+and great exposure.
+
+=SUNLIGHT Four-fold Germantown= is ideal for crocheting and knitting
+sport scarfs, afghans, slippers, toques, aviation caps, shawls, fine
+sweaters, mufflers, tying comforts, and innumerable other beautiful and
+serviceable articles.
+
+Only the finest selection of wools of just the right quality is used in
+this yarn, and it is carefully spun and twisted to produce just the
+proper degree of soft, even loftiness and elasticity.
+
+It is made in a wide range of shades covering every possible requirement
+from the most delicate to the heaviest staple shades and all the newest
+colors in popular favor.
+
+=SUNLIGHT Eight-fold Germantown= is the same in its general
+characteristics as the four-fold Germantown, except that the thread is
+about twice as heavy. It is especially good for making toques, aviation
+caps, heavy sweaters, afghans, slumber robes, etc.
+
+=SUNLIGHT Saxony= is a fine, soft, three-ply thread, smoothly and evenly
+spun, made in a complete line of shadings. Only the finest of wools go
+into this soft yarn, which is ideal for making children’s stockings,
+soft gloves and mittens, fascinators, infants’ crocheted skirts and
+hoods, bootees, trimming hoods, children’s coats, shawls, etc.
+
+=SUNLIGHT Spanish Worsted=—four-ply—is made of a special selection of
+fine, hard wearing wools. It is spun into a finer thread than the German
+Knitting Worsted, is used for much the same purposes, but is
+particularly adapted for knitting gloves and mittens, men’s socks,
+women’s stockings, sweaters, etc. Sunlight Spanish Worsted is made in a
+complete line of colors and mixtures.
+
+=SUNLIGHT Shetland Floss= is a very lofty, fluffy yarn, soft, evenly
+spun. It comes in a beautiful line of shades and makes up well into fine
+fascinators, sport scarfs, women’s sweaters, circular shawls, baby
+jackets, toques, women’s kimonas, and many other articles.
+
+=SUNLIGHT Eiderdown Wool= is a soft, fluffy, round strand, used for
+crocheting toques, aviation caps, auto caps, and for baby afghans.
+
+=SUNLIGHT Pompadour Wool= is a soft, fine thread yarn with a strand of
+silk running through it. It works up very effectively in dainty
+automobile hoods, scarfs, shawls, fascinators and baby garments.
+
+=SUNLIGHT Shetland Wool= is a two-ply yarn, finer spun than Saxony and
+very soft. It comes in a line of delicate colors and is used for
+infants’ sacques and bootees, women’s scarfs, shawls, etc.
+
+=SUNLIGHT Alliance Worsted= is a very fine knitting yarn, made soft,
+lofty and yielding. Its uses are about the same as the Spanish and the
+German Knitting Worsted, but the effect is much softer. Made in black
+and white only.
+
+=SUNLIGHT Fairy Floss= is a soft yarn of the nature of a Shetland Floss,
+crimped to give it a wavy effect. It is used for shoulder wraps, shawls,
+fascinators, kimonas, etc.
+
+=SUNLIGHT Coral Yarn= is a fine, soft, round yarn with a very noticeable
+spiral twist. It is used for infants’ mitts, bootees and jackets.
+
+=SUNLIGHT Lusterine= is a very soft yarn with a lustrous strand running
+spirally about it. It is largely used for making up dainty infants’
+garments, scarfs, shawls, etc.
+
+=SUNLIGHT Ice Wool= is a genuine Mohair high luster, wiry, two-ply
+thread. It is used for circular shawls and all fancy wraps and headgear.
+
+=SUNLIGHT Angora= works up very beautifully into infants’ soft hoods,
+Tam o’Shanters, infants’ muffs and women’s mitts, caps and toques. It
+gives a soft, fluffy surface.

+These little bootees are made of white yarn in a pretty stitch. The ribs
+are worked lengthwise on the upper part of the bootees and crosswise on
+the feet. The little touch of pink or blue silk between the ribs is very
+effective.
+
+Begin with the yarn and make a chain of 19 stitches.
+
+=1st row:= Take up with silk, 1 loop in each stitch on the chain. Change
+for the yarn; put yarn over hook and pull through one loop at a time.
+
+=2nd row:= Make 1 chain, * take up 2 loops, 1 in each loop on preceding
+row; put yarn over hook, pull through all on needle and make 1 chain.
+Repeat from * to end of row, turn.
+
+=3rd row:= Same as 2nd row, taking up on top of the stitches on row
+below, turn.
+
+=4th row:= Same as 1st row, taking up on top of the stitches on row
+below. Repeat 2nd, 3rd and 4th rows for the length of 6 inches.
+
+Sew both ends together.
+
+Work border at top: Make 1 single crochet, a chain of 2 stitches and 2
+double crochet all in one place on a rib below. Repeat this stitch on
+every rib below.
+
+Next row: Same as preceding row with exception of making the stitch in
+1st double crochet on stitch below.
+
+Work 5 rows.
+
+Make last row in silk with 4 double crochet in the stitch.
+
+Make beading for ribbon on other side of the ribs: Work 1 row in the
+double crochet making 1 stitch for each row (3 for a rib) below. (Draw
+up the loops ½ inch long in the double crochet.)
+
+Now use silk and make 2 rows in single crochet taking up in double
+stitch.
+
+Have the joining at back; take up 12 loops with silk in front on row
+below. Pull through with the yarn and repeat the pattern same as before
+to the length of 3 inches.
+
+On the 3 last rows narrow 1 stitch on each side for toe.
+
+This part makes the top of foot. Now use yarn, start with the single
+crochet, work around making 1 stitch for each row on top of foot. Work 4
+rows always taking up in the double stitch. Count 10 stitches for the
+toe, then decrease 1 stitch on each side of them.
+
+Repeat this decreasing 7 more rows, having 1 stitch less for each row
+between the increasings. On the last 2 rows decrease 2 stitches each

+
+This little blanket is made up of 3 white panels with pink border all
+around, and a pattern of climbing wild roses and green leaves is worked
+with cross stitches from one end of panel to the other.
+
+Start with white yarn and make a chain of 35 stitches.
+
+=1st row:= Take up 1 loop in each stitch on the chain, 35 loops in all
+on needle. Put yarn over hook and pull through 1 loop at a time.
+
+=2nd row:= Take up in the loops from row below and pull through same as
+on 1st row. Repeat this row for the length of 28½ inches. Make 2 more
+panels in white like this one.
+
+Begin with pink yarn and start border on the side of one panel.
+
+=1st row:= Start at the corner with a chain of 3 stitches. Take up 2
+loops in the chain, then take up 1 loop in each one of the 3 first
+stitches. Now 6 loops on needle, put yarn over hook and pull through all
+at once and make 1 chain.
+
+=2nd stitch:= Take up 1 loop in space below this 1 chain; pick up 1 loop
+in the back of last loop in preceding stitch, take up 1 loop in same
+place as last loop in preceding stitch, then pick up 2 more loops in the
+next 2 stitches on row below. Put yarn over hook and pull through all at
+once and make 1 chain. Repeat 2nd stitch to end of row; turn.
+
+=2nd row:= A chain of 3 stitches, make 2 double crochet in 1st double
+stitch on star below. Make 2 more double crochet in 1st stitch on 2nd
+star below. Repeat this on every star to end of row, turn.
+
+=3rd row:= Same as 1st row, taking up in the back of the stitches on row
+below. Repeat these 3 rows on other side of panel. This panel is the
+middle one.
+
+On the 2 outside panels repeat these 3 rows just on the side that is to
+be joined to the middle panel.
+
+=Joining:= Place 2 panels together. Start with pink yarn and make a loop
+on the hook. Put the hook through both panels in the 1st stitch on 1st
+star, then yarn over hook, pull through and make a chain of 2 stitches.
+
+Next repeat this in 2nd stitch, on 1st star with the white yarn. Take up
+the pink chain on the hook and place it in front of the white chain,
+then put hook through both panels in 1st stitch on 2nd star, pull
+through and make a chain of 2 stitches. Take up the white chain, place
+it in front of pink chain, pull through in 2nd stitch on 2nd star and
+make a chain of 2 stitches. Repeat this to end of panels. Join the 2
+other sides the same way.
+
+For border all around, repeat the 3 rows already described.
+
+Make the last row in pink and white, the same as the row for joining,
+with the exception of making 6 stitches in the chains and taking up once
+in every star.
+
+Work a cross stitch pattern of little pink roses and green leaves for
+the whole length of the panels.

+
+ INSTRUCTIONS
+
+This handsome robe, in its subdued color, is very restful to the eye and
+would certainly give great satisfaction to the maker, especially, as the
+work is not very difficult.
+
+The afghan is worked in 3 shades of “old rose,” but brown or green would
+look well also, in case those colors should be preferred.
+
+It is made up of 9 panels, 5 fancy ones in the light and medium shades
+and 4 plain ones in the dark shade. A heavy fringe is put on the ends of
+the robe, so each panel gets its own shade.
+
+Work the dark panel in the cluster stitch.
+
+Start with a chain of 32 stitches.
+
+=1st row:= Draw the loop on needle half an inch long, * take up 1 loop
+in 2nd stitch on the chain, yarn over hook, take up another loop in same
+place and repeat from * to end of row.
+
+Put yarn over hook and pull through 1 cluster at a time: at the end pull
+through 1st loop and make 1 chain.
+
+=2nd row:= Same as 1st row, make 1 cluster between 1st loop and 1st
+cluster on row below, then repeat, making 1 cluster between each cluster
+on row below. At end of row take up 1 loop on the back of last cluster
+below; yarn over and pull through the loop, then repeat as before and at
+end of row pull through loop with the cluster and make 1 chain.
+
+=3rd row:= Same as 1st row, making 1 cluster between each cluster on
+preceding row. Repeat 2nd and 3rd rows. Make panel 2¾ yards in length.
+
+The fancy panel is made up of 3 stripes, 2 in the medium and 1 in the
+light shade.
+
+Begin stripe with a chain of 7 stitches, pick up 6 loops, then you have
+7 loops in all on needle. Put yarn over and pull through 1 loop at a
+time.
+
+Next row same as 1st row, taking up in the loops on row below.
+
+Make 1 more row.
+
+=4th row:= Pick up 3 loops; then take up 1 loop in the 2nd loop from
+edge on 2nd row below. Put yarn over hook and pull through 2 loops. Put
+yarn over hook twice and take up 1 loop in 3rd loop from edge on 3rd row
+below, yarn over and pull through 2 loops, then yarn over and pull
+through 2 more loops. Repeat this last stitch 2 times more in the 4th
+and 5th loop on 3rd row below.
+
+Put yarn over hook once and take up 1 loop in 2nd loop from the other
+edge on 2nd row below, and pull through 2 loops. Now yarn over hook and
+pull through 5 loops, 1 for each stitch and make 1 chain tight. Pick up
+the 3 last loops on 4th row, 7 in all, on needle, and pull through 1 at
+a time, same as before.
+
+This is the design for the whole panel.
+
+Make 2 plain rows, then repeat 4th row, so for every 3rd row you make a
+new cluster.
+
+Make stripe 2¾ yards long.
+
+Work the 2 other stripes.
+
+Put those 3 stripes together with the chain stitch in the dark shade and
+place the light panel in middle.
+
+Put this fancy panel together with the plain panel, same way in the
+light shade.
+
+=To connect:= Place both panels together with the right side out, make a
+loop on the hook and * put hook through 1 loop on the edge of each
+panel. Yarn over and pull through all on needle at once and repeat from
+* to end of row.
+
+Crochet scallops on the fancy panel on both sides of afghan. Make shells
+of 7 double crochet with 1 single crochet between.
+
+Make a fringe 5 inches long and let the ends of each panel be fringed in
+its own shade. Cut the threads for fringe 24 inches in length. Take 1
+end and double up 2 times, put the loops through edge with the crochet
+hook, then draw ends through loops and tighten.

+ INSTRUCTIONS
+
+This artistic blanket is made up of panels, closely resembling Indian
+work in design and colors.
+
+Commence on the panel with design and use No. 100 hook. Start with the
+black yarn and make a chain of 36 stitches. Work =1st row= in the single
+crochet (35 stitches) on the 1st row. Leave 3 stitches at end of row.
+Put the ends of the colored yarn together and work them in with the 3
+last stitches, turn. Work the threads in as you go along and change them
+according to the following pattern. On 1st colored row, take up in the
+double stitch on row below, then take up in the back of the stitches for
+every row. Work the whole panel forward and back in the single crochet.
+
+=1st row in the colors:= Make 1 chain, then 3 single crochet in black
+and take up the loop for the 4th stitch. Pull through 4th stitch with
+the gray. Make 7 single crochet in gray and take up the loop for the 8th
+stitch. Pull through with the blue, make 2 single crochet, take up the
+loop for the 3rd stitch and pull through with black. Make 1 single
+crochet in black, take up 2nd loop and pull through with red. Take up 1
+loop with red and pull through with black. This 1 red is the center
+stitch, then reverse. Now on 1st row you have 4 single crochet in black,
+8 in gray, 3 in blue, 2 in black, 1 in red for center. Then 2 in black,
+3 in blue, 8 in gray and 4 in black.
+
+=2nd row:= 4 black, 7 gray, 3 blue, 2 black, 3 red for center.
+
+=3rd row:= 4 black, 6 gray, 3 blue, 2 black, 5 red for center.
+
+=4th row:= 4 black, 5 gray, 3 blue, 2 black, 7 red for center.
+
+=5th row:= 4 black, 4 gray, 3 blue, 2 black, 9 red for center.
+
+=6th row:= 4 black, 3 gray, 3 blue, 2 black, 11 red for center.

+
+=8th row:= 4 black, 1 gray, 3 blue, 2 black, 6 red, 3 black for center.
+
+=9th row:= 4 black, 3 blue, 2 black, 6 red, 2 black, 1 gray for center.
+
+=10th row:= 4 black, 2 blue, 2 black, 6 red, 2 black, 3 gray for center.
+
+=11th row:= 4 black, 1 blue, 2 black, 6 red, 2 black, 2 gray, 1 red for
+center.
+
+=12th row:= 6 black, 6 red, 2 black, 2 gray, 3 red for center.
+
+=13th row:= 5 black, 6 red, 2 black, 2 gray, 5 red for center.
+
+=14th row:= 4 black, 6 red, 2 black, 2 gray, 7 red for center.
+
+This last row is the center row. Now you have made half of the pattern.
+Make the other half to correspond.
+
+Repeat pattern for the length desired.
+
+Work the plain panel in red with No. 102 hook. Make a chain of 33
+stitches.
+
+Take up 1 loop in each stitch on the chain, 33 loops in all on hook, put
+yarn over hook and pull through 1 loop at a time.
+
+=2nd row:= Pick up the loops in the spaces between the loops on row
+below. Pull through same as on 1st row, taking the 2 first and the 2
+last loops together as 1.
+
+=3rd row:= Take up the loops same as on 2nd row in every space and then
+take up the last loop in the chain on edge. Pull through 1 loop at a
+time on this row.
+
+Repeat these 2 last rows (2nd and 3rd) for the same length as 1st panel.
+Work 1 row in single crochet with gray yarn all around red panel. Work 1
+stitch for each row down below and make every other stitch deep. Make
+another row all around, same as this, in black and let the deep stitches
+come between the deep gray stitches.
+
+On panel with design, work 1 row on each side in black with the single
+crochet. Work a little tight and make 1 stitch for each row down below.
+Then work one row all around panel in gray, same as on red panel, and
+put the deep stitches between the ribs. Outside this make another row
+all around in black with the single crochet and take up in the double
+stitch.
+
+Join the panels: Place the edges of 2 panels together and work as on 1;
+use black yarn and work with 2 threads of the yarn. Make a loop on the
+hook and * put through a double stitch on the edge of each panel. Yarn
+over hook, pull through all on needle at once and make 1 chain. Repeat
+from * in every stitch on both edges.
+
+Work scallops in red all around blanket: * Make a shell of 7 double
+crochet in 1 single crochet on edge (draw up the loop long in the double
+crochet). Then make 1 single crochet in 4th and 1 in 5th stitch from
+shell and repeat from * making the shell in the 4th stitch, all around.
+Make the shells in the corners larger.
+
+Last row in black: Make 1 chain and 1 single crochet in each stitch on
+the shell with exception of, making no chain between 2nd and 3rd stitch
+on each side of shell.

+
+This sweater is knitted lengthwise in the plain stitch with black and
+green yarn. The buttons are knitted also.
+
+Begin at left side front, use black yarn and No. 13 needles. Cast on 190
+stitches. Divide the stitches on 2 needles and start knitting with the
+3rd one, or you could use only 2 needles, carrying all the stitches on 1
+needle, if you put a little sealing wax on one end of each needle to
+prevent the stitches from sliding off. (Knit 1st stitch on first row and
+every time, when stitches are added, slip 1st stitch on every row except
+when changing the yarn, then knit 1st stitch.)
+
+Knit 2 rows plain (2 rows make 1 rib). Let the stitches run easy on
+needle. Knit 3rd row plain, add (cast on) 1 stitch and knit 4th row
+plain. Make another rib and add 1 stitch on same side as before. Three
+ribs (6 rows) make 1 black stripe.
+
+Start with the green yarn (at bottom of sweater) and make 1 row plain,
+add 2 stitches (at neck of sweater) and purl the stitches on next row.
+Two rows make 1 green stripe.
+
+For every turning at the bottom of sweater twist the threads around once
+to keep the edge firm.
+
+Repeat, making 1 black stripe, adding at neck 1 stitch for each rib and
+1 green stripe, adding at neck 2 stitches, until you have 7 black and 7
+green stripes. Add 16 stitches to shoulder. (240 stitches is the length
+of sweater.) Make 7 black and 7 green stripes.
+
+Knit the pocket on the front part. Start with green yarn at bottom of
+sweater and pick up 45 stitches in the last row of the 5th black stripe
+from front edge (take up 1 stitch in each stitch of the row). Make 10
+green and 9 black stripes for the pocket. Start with the black yarn, as
+before, and knit pocket in with the front part (take 1 stitch from each
+needle and knit as 1).
+
+Make 2 black stripes and 1 green (9 black and 8 green stripes the width
+of shoulder). Bind off 63 stitches for armhole. Make 9 green and 8 black
+stripes. Add 63 stitches for back. Make 29 black and 28 green stripes
+for the width of back. Knit the other side to correspond.
+
+=Sleeve:= Cast on 50 stitches with black yarn. Knit 1 rib and add 5
+stitches. Knit 3rd row plain. Start with the green (at top of sleeve)
+and add 5 stitches at end of row. Repeat making the stripes, adding 5
+stitches for every turning toward the bottom of sleeve, until the number
+of stitches is increased by 95 (19 turnings). Add 20 more stitches (165
+stitches is the length of sleeve). Make 25½ black stripes from start.
+Make the green stripe, then 2 ribs of the next black stripe and start
+the binding off in same order as you added.
+
+=Border:= Make border to go around neck down the front edges. Use black
+yarn, work with 2 threads of the yarn and No. 10 needles. Cast on 12
+stitches. Knit plain forward and back, making the strip about 1¾ yards
+long.
+
+=Cuff:= Use black yarn (single) and No. 13 needles. Cast on 40 stitches
+and knit for the length of 7 inches.
+
+=Buttons:= Use black yarn and No. 15 needles. Cast on 30 stitches.
+Divide the stitches on 3 needles, join to a circle and knit plain 10
+rows.
+
+Start decreasing:
+
+=1st row:= Knit 4, decrease 1 (knit 2 stitches together as 1).

+=5th row:= Knit 2, decrease 1.
+
+=6th row:= Plain.
+
+=7th row:= Knit 1, decrease 1.
+
+=8th row:= Decrease 1 for every 2 stitches.
+
+Break off the yarn a few inches from work and with a darning needle run
+the end of the yarn through the remaining 5 stitches, draw together and
+fasten. Use the wrong side of work out, put the mould in, run a thread
+through the edge, draw together and fasten.
+
+Sew garment together.
+
+Put the sleeves in, so that seam of sleeve comes in middle of side a
+little toward the front.
+
+Sew cuff on and turn up about 3 inches.
+
+Sew border on, holding in the garment a little around neck.
+
+Sew together at bottom of pocket.

+sock.
+
+Start with the white yarn and purl 1st row. 2nd row knit plain, 3rd row
+purl, and 4th row knit plain. These 4 rows are knitted plain on right
+side of sock. Repeat them between every brown rib. Work 13 brown ribs.
+
+Start the toe in white.
+
+=1st row:= Purl the stitches.
+
+=2nd row:= Knit plain, and decrease 1 stitch at each end of row.
+
+Now repeat and knit plain on right side of sock and purl the stitches on
+the other side. Decrease 1 stitch at each end of every row. Repeat until
+there are 4 stitches left. Leave the 4 stitches on needle and pick up
+all the stitches on both edges for front. Use the finer needles and take
+up 1 stitch for every 2 rows, or 5 stitches for each brown rib and white
+stripe. Pick up 1 stitch for every row at the toe, 30 stitches in all,
+on one side, and the same on other edge. Now divide all the stitches on
+4 needles. Start with white yarn on right side of sock.
+
+=1st row:= Knit plain.
+
+=2nd row:= Purl, and decrease 4 stitches at the toe: 1 stitch on each
+side of the 4 remaining stitches, and 1 more stitch on each side 10
+stitches from 1st increasing.
+
+Repeat this increasing 2 times more on every other row.
+
+Knit plain on right side of sock and purl on the other side. Make 2 more
+rows in white, then 2 rows in brown, 4 in white and 2 in brown and bind
+off. Sew front together.
+
+Crochet border at top. 1st row, in white: Make a chain of 3 stitches,
+take up 2 loops from the chain and 2 loops, 1 in each stitch, on the rib
+below. Put yarn over hook and pull through all on needle at once and
+make 1 chain. Next stitch: Take up 1st loop in the space below the 1
+chain and 2nd loop in the back of last loop on preceding stitch. Pick up
+the 2 last loops as before and repeat to end of row.
+
+=2nd row in white:= Work 1 double crochet and make 1 chain for each star
+stitch on row below. This row is for the ribbon.
+
+=Last row, in brown:= Make 1 single crochet and 4 double crochet between
+every other double crochet on row below.
+
+Pull ribbon through and tie.

+ INSTRUCTIONS
+
+These comfortable looking bed socks are made in white and lavender. At
+top a pretty scallop is crocheted and a cord is pulled through to tie.
+
+Start at top with the white yarn and cast on 48 stitches.
+
+Knit 2, purl 2; work forward and back and make 3 rows. Work 2 rows in
+lavender and 2 more rows in white. Next row in lavender: * Knit the 2
+plain stitches together as 1, put yarn over needle and purl the 2 purled
+stitches together as 1, yarn over needle and repeat from * to end of
+row.
+
+=2nd row:= Knit yarn over needle as 1 stitch. These 2 rows will make the
+holes for the cord.
+
+Now repeat with 2 rows in white and 2 rows in lavender until you have 6
+stripes in lavender from start.
+
+Begin with the white yarn and make 1 row same as before.
+
+=2nd row:= Purl all the stitches.
+
+=3rd row:= Purl.
+
+=4th row:= Knit plain.
+
+=5th row:= Purl.
+
+Leave 15 stitches on each side of work on separate needles and knit
+plain the 18 stitches in middle; turn, and knit plain forward and back
+for the length of 22 ribs (2 rows make 1 rib). Make 4 more ribs and
+decrease 3 stitches on each side. Keep the remaining 12 stitches on
+needle; pick up with the other 2 needles with stitches on, 26 stitches
+on each side of last knitted part, 1 stitch for each rib. Now you have
+106 stitches in all; divide them on 3 needles and knit plain forward and
+back 2 ribs or 4 rows. Then make 2 rows in lavender, 6 rows in white, 2
+in lavender and 5 in white.
+
+Decrease 3 stitches at toe on the last rows.
+
+Put the stitches on 2 needles, same number on both, then crochet sock
+together. Work on same side you knitted 1st row at start. Begin at toe,
+make a loop on the crochet hook and put 1st stitch from each needle on
+same; yarn over and pull through all on hook. Put 2nd stitch from each
+needle on hook and repeat. Crochet together in back also.
+
+Crochet border at top of sock. Work 1st row in lavender: Make 2 double
+crochet, both in same place in a rib; make 1 chain and repeat the same
+in every rib.
+
+=Next row in white:= * Work 1 single crochet in the 1 chain on row
+below, then make a chain of 3 stitches; skip 2 double crochet and make 3
+double crochet in the next 1 chain, a chain of 3 stitches and repeat
+from *. This row finishes off the top.
+
+Take 2 threads of the yarn, 1 in white and 1 in lavender, and make a
+chain 25 inches long for the cord. Pull through the holes made for it at
+top of sock.
+
+Put a tassel on each end of cord and tie in front of sock.
+
+=Tassel:= Wind the yarn over 4 fingers 10 times; tie a linen thread
+around hank in middle and fasten to end of cord. Pull the loops down and
+wind the yarn around a few times, ⅓ of an inch from cord. Cut even at
+bottom.
+
+If different size is wanted make more or less ribs on the narrow part at
+top of foot.
+
+
+
+
+ Directions for Washing Articles Made from Worsted Yarns
+
+Washing: Prepare a suds, not too strong, by shaving Wool Soap into very
+hot water, not boiling; add a few drops of ammonia and a pinch of borax.
+
+Allow the garment to stand in the suds for a few minutes, then move it
+gently back and forth through the suds until clean. Do not rub soap on
+the article and do not rub it with the hands.
+
+Rinsing and Drying: Wring the garment lightly with the hands, and rinse
+in clear warm water, moving it back and forth as in the suds. Repeat the
+rinsing in a second clear warm water; then wring the garment lightly
+with the hands, shake slightly and dry quickly in the open air, being
+careful not to stretch it.
+
+
+
+
+SUNLIGHT YARNS were used exclusively for all the work described in this
+book.
+
+Knitters are advised to purchase at one time enough yarn to complete the
+work, in order to insure absolute uniformity of shade.
