«*HOW TO KNIT.**

•o-^o.

The necessary materials for knitting are either cotton,

worsted, silk or thread, and knitting needles.

Stockings and all knitting worked in rounds require four

knitting needles, three of which are used for holding the

stitches of the work, and the fourth to knit with.

The casting on of stitches forms the beginning of knitting.

It consists of loops formed around a knitting needle. Every

loop will form a stitch. The number of stitches will deter-

mine the width of the object which is to be knitted.

There are five different ways of casting on stitches. For

the casting on of stitches always unroll an end of the cotton

long enough to work the stitches required, as this end is used

in the formation of those stitches.

No. 1.—Illustration No. 1 shows the

position of the cotton, ready to cast onthe first stitch. Place the cotton over

the thumb and first finger of the left

hand, in such a way as to have the endof cotton, which must be sufficiently

long for the required number of stitches,

fall from the thumb toward the palm of

the hand. Hold this end and the other

part of the cotton with the remaining

fingers of the left hand. This sameposition of the cotton is used in illustrations 2 and 3. Takethe needle with the right hand, place it over the cotton,

between the thumb and the first finger, pass it under the

cotton resting around the thumb, bring it upward ; then passthe needle downward, under the cotton resting on the first

finger;pass this loop through the loop around the thumb,

withdraw the thumb from the loop;pass the thumb under

the end of the cotton, toward the palm of the hand ; draw this

end in order to close tli^ stitch just formed.

No. 1. Position to form thkfirst Cast on Stitch

Xo. 2—Casting on ofSingle Stitches.—Begin in the samemanner as described in Xo. 1. and make 2 stitches. Then take

up on the needle the loop which is around the thumb (see

illustration 2), without withdrawing the thumb, insert the

needle around the cotton marked o in illustration Xo. 2, from

right to left, and draw it through loop a ; close this stitch as

already directed in Xo. 1, by withdrawing the thumb fromloop a and drawing the end of cotton.

No. 2. Casting on of Single Stitches. No. 3. Casting on by Knitting.

Xo. 3.—This casting on of stitches requires two needles.

Form the first stitch in same manner as described in Xo. 1.

Then, with the left hand, hold the needle on which this first

-Mich is formed, pass the cotton over the first finger of the left

band, take a needle with the right hand, and insert the point

into the loop on the left needle, wind the cotton around the

P'-int of the right needle, draw it through the loop, * insert the

point of the h-ft needle into the loop just formed on the right

needle, wind the cotton around the point of the right needle,

draw it through the loop. Repeat from *. See illustration 3.

No. i Thi Casting on of a New Row of Stitches. Thiscasting on of stitches is generally employed in knitting with

rated, which requires :i new casting on of stitches in the

progress of the work, h is done by putting the worsted (see

illustration No. 4) over the thumb of the Left hand, holding'I nd between the second and third fingers, * take up the

rted around the thumb and lying toward the palm of thehand, bj inserting the needle from under the worsted in anupward direction (see illustration No. 1 1,

w ithdraw the thumbfrom tli" loop, pasa the thumb nnder the end of worsted resl

ing in the palm of the hand, and draw it to close the stitch.

Xo. 5.—The casting on of stitches illustrated in cut No. 5

forms a narrow border after the first row has been knitted. In

order to easily knit the first row, the casting on of stitches mustbe done on a pair of knitting needles. Unroll an end long

enough for the required number of stitches. Double it. Fold

this doubled end in half, insert the point of the needles into

the fold, place on the first finger of the left hand the long end

of the worsted which is among the short ends. Place the

three short ends over the thumb. Hold all these ends with

the second finger. Take on the needles the ends resting onthe thumb (marked b in illustration), and insert them as shownin illustration Xo. 5. Then pass the needles through the loop

on first finger, in the direction of the arrow, and pass this loop

through the loop already formed on the needles, withdraw

the thumb, close the stitch by drawing the three ends, which

is done by passing the thumb under them.

Xo. 6

—

Double Casting on of Stitches.—The difference

between this method of casting on and the preceding is, that

every knot forms, each time, two loops instead of one, on the

needle. The first knot must be formed in the same mannera- described in Xo. 5. In order to work the second knot,

insert once more the needle into the loop of three ends which

6

rest on the thumb, marked a in

illustration No. 6. The arrow, in

same illustration, shows where

to insert the needle and the di-

rection it has to take. This done,

insert the needle downward into

loop b, and draw the latter

through loop resting on thethumb, withdraw the thumb and

close the knot. Every loop on

tlie needle must be knitted sepa-

rately at the lirst row.

ifiHT.-illy used in ordinary knitting. First, cast on the required

number of stitches in one of the ways already described. Thisdone, take in the left hand the needle on which are the loops.

such a manner as to have the cotton just under the right handneedle. Pull this cotton through the loop, withdraw the left

hand needle from the loop, and the purled stitch is formed.

How to Repair a Stitch which lias been Half Knitted, or

Dropped while Knitting.—In knitting, one ought to be careful

not to drop stitches or to form half stitches. The latter hap-

pens when the thread thrown over the right hand needle has

not been pulled through the loop of the left hand needle. Toremedy this, while working the next round or row, take the

thread which has been thrown over the needle from it, andpull it through the loop of the stitch. To repair a droppedstitch, insert the left needle into the stitch, gather all the

threads on the right hand needle and pull them through the

loop of the stitch, one after the other.

To Increase.—There are two ways to increase. The first

is, to knit both in the lower part of the stitch and also in the

stitch itself. The second way is to bring the cotton forward

round the end of the right needle, to the front ; this forms a

loop on the right needle when the next stitch is knitted, andthis extra loop is the made stitch. It is preferable to increase

after the first manner in plain knitting, as this way of increas-

ing is not so marked. The second manner is used in fancy

knitting, as it leaves a little opening after the stitch is formed.

To Slip a Stitch is to take a stitch off the left needle andto slip it on to the right needle without knitting.

With any work knitted in rows, it is necessary that the

first stitch of every row be worked as a slipped stitch. If it

is a row of purl, the first stitch must be slipped off as if it

were plain knitting ; if it is a row of plain knitting, slip the

first stitch off as if it were purl knitting.

How to Narrow.—The usual way of narrowing is to knit

two stitches together, viz. : put the right needle through two

of the loops on the left needle, and knit them as one stitch.

Another method is to slip a stitch, knit one, and then with

i he left needle cast the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch.

When the narrowing is used to give a certain shape to the

work, it is well to employ the first method when narrowing

at the end of the round or row ; and the second method whennarrowing at the beginning of it.

Casting Off is done as follows : Knit two plain stitches,

with the left needle throw the first stitch over the second,

knit a third stitch, throw the second over the third, knit a

fourth, throw the third over the fourth, and so on until the

last stitch is worked. Pull the cotton through, and a knot is

formed.

The Joining of Ends in knitting ought never to be done

by knotting them together. It maybe done so that no defect

is visible on the right side of the work, by lapping them three

indies together, and knitting five inches with doubled thread,

Leaving the ends on the wrong side of the work. These ends

ran then be neatly darned into the wrong side of the work.

Lady's Stocking.

To knit a stocking, attention must be given to the size of

tin- knitting needles, which ought to correspond with the

number of the material with which the stocking is to be

knitted. It would be difficult to give the exact number of

stitches necessary for any given size of stocking, as there is

always ;i difference between the knitting of different persons,

since some knil loosely, others very closely. It must be left

to the judgment of the knitter to determine the exact numberof stitches required for the Btocking i<> be knitted.

17th Round.—* Slip 1, knit 1, draw the slip stitch over

the knitted stitch, make 1 ; repeat from * to end of round.

18th to 34th Rounds, inclusive.—Knit plain.

Then fold in half the piece knitted, so that the 17th round

will form the edge of the border.

Pick up on other knitting needles the stitches of the 1st

round, i. e., the stitches cast on, and knit each of them with

each stitch of the 34th round. This finishes the border. Thus,

the lower edge of the border forms a fancy design of small

scallops. Purl 3 rounds, knit plain 3 rounds, purl 3 rounds.

Then knit plain until the leg of the stocking is twelve

inches long. In the first round of this plain knitting begin

the seam stitch, which ought to correspond with the last andfirst stitches cast on. This seam stitch is repeated in every

third round.

After the twelve inches have been knitted, narrow in the

following round 1 stitch on each side of the seam. Knit 8

rounds. Narrow 1 stitch on each side of seam. Knit 7

rounds. Narrow, in manner already described. Knit 6 rounds.

Narrow. Knit 5 rounds. * Narrow. Knit 4 rounds. Repeat20 times from * until 110 stitches and the 2 seam stitches are

left on the needles. This done, knit plain 30 rounds. Theknitting of the heel now begins. Divide the stitches byputting on 1 needle the 2 seam stitches and 28 stitches on

each side of them. Thus, there will be upon this needle 58

srirr-hes. Knit this needle, backward and forward, in rows,

making the seam stitches as usual.

When knitting backward, purl all these stitches. Whenknitting forward, knit plain all the stitches with exception

•of the seam stitch, which must be purled. Always slip the

first knitted stitch. Continue knitting until the flap is 44 rowslong, counting each time across as 1 row.

1st Row.—Now purl from the left hand side the 28

stitches and the 2 seam stitches. Purl 2, knit 2 together,

purl 1. Turn.

2d Row.—Slip 1, 3 plain, 2 purl (seam stitches), 2 plain,

knit 2 together, 1 plain. Turn.

5th Row.—Slip 1, purl 10 (seam stitch included), purl 2together, purl 1. Turn.

Continue to knit in this wise until the remaining stitches

are gradually worked off. Then pick up the side stitches of

this flap, which amount to 36 on each side, and the heel is

formed.

Knit the side stitches of the flap, "making 1" nowand then, so as to make the number of stitches on each side

of the heel amount to 40.

Knit again in rounds. After every 2 rounds purl the

flrst 2 stitches together, then the last 2 stitches together, of

the heel stitches. Narrow in this manner 12 times. This

done, the number of stitches in the whole round is reduced to

110, i. e., to the original number before the beginning of the

heel. Knit plain 50 rounds. Commence narrowing of toe as-

follows: * knit 2 together, knit 8 plain. Repeat from * to

end of round. Knit S rounds plain. * Knit 2 together, knit

Heels of Stockings.

There are three other ways of knitting a stocking-heel, as

illustrations 9, 10 and 11 show. In the directions for knitting

these heels, the same number of stitches is taken as in the

directions for knitting the heel of "lady's stocking," i. e., 28<

stitches on each side of the 2 seam stitches, thus leaving 54

for the front of the foot.

Heel No. 9.—Knit 44 rows backward (purling) and for-

ward (plain). While knitting these rows, make a seam stitch

on each side of the flap. These 2

seams must correspond with the

seam in the center of the flap.

See illustration Xo. 9.

When the 44 rows have been

knitted, the rounding of the heel

begins. Knit from right handside 19 stitches (including the

side seam stitch), knit 2 togeth-

er, knit 14 plain (center seamstitch inclusive), slip 1, knit 1

plain, draw the slip stitch over

the 1 plain. Knit 5 plain. Turn.

Slip 1, purl 25. Turn. Slip 1,

knit 3 plain, knit 2 together, knit 14 plain, slip 1, knit 1 plain r

Continue working thus to

the end of cap, alternating

every time each row in same-

manner as described. Whenthe heel is finished, 26 stitches

muse remain on the needle.

Heel No. 10.—This heel is

knitted partly in rounds with

the front of the foot, and part

ly by itself in rows. Divide

the stitches evenly on 4 nee-

This done, begin the cap of the heel. Put on a special

needle the 1*2 middle stitches (6 on each side of the seam

stitch), and knit these in rows, forward and backward, until

1»'> rows have been worked. Narrow at the end of each of

these rows, in knitting the last stitch of the row together with

the first of the remaining stitches on the next needle, then

knit the following stitch and turn.

Knit If, lows more without narrowing, but at the end of

each row knit 1 of the stitches remaining on the next needle,

and then turn to knit the following row.

When this is done, continue to knit in rows, and narrow

again at t lie end of each row by knitting the last stitch of

each row together with one of the remaining stitches on the

nexl needle; then turn and knit the following row. Whenthf remaining stitches have all been narrowed into the heel,

then begin to knil t he foot in rounds.

number of stitches of the fifth needle. Join these 2 rows of

stitches together, as illustrated in cut No. 16. This is done bydarning. Take an end of the cotton long enough for this pur-

pose, and pass it, by means of a darning needle, downwardthrough the last stitch of the stocking, and through the first

one of the stitches on the fifth needle, or upper row. Thenpass it through the next 2 corresponding stitches of the cap

of the heel. See illustration No. 17, which shows the needle

inserted in the 2 stitches through

which the cotton is to be drawn.

Pass the needle through the next

2 corresponding stitches of the

upper row. in the same direction as

is shown by the arrow in illustra-

tion No. 17. From there * pass it

INSTRUCTIONS FOR KNITTING

ORIENTAL RUGS AND CARPETS.

Cut the various colors of wool required for the pattern

in equal short bits. Then knit with 11 inch No. 13 needles

as follows :

1. The first row flat plain with coarse cotton or twine.

2. The second row one stitch plain ; then take a piece

of wool and knit it in with the next stitch, so that one half

of it is at the front and the other half at the back of the

work ; then one plain again, and put the half left at the

back round to the front of the work, and continue this

alternately to the end of the row. Knit one row plain

again, then one row same as the second, and so on.

The Carpet may be knitted in pieces of any size and

sewn together. If the surface is not quite level cut it even

afterwards.

The best results are obtained by using Oriental Wool,

Smyrna Cotton and designs manufactured expressly for the

purpose and lately introduced into this market by Messrs. H.

Taylor & Co., of Philadelphia. Rugs knitted from these

materials are as beautiful and serviceable as the real Oriental

Carpets, and, if well done, cannot be distinguished from

them.
