,needlecraft ,augusta--,maine ,handbook of ,wool ,knitting and ,crochet ,a ,lesson in ,knitting ,illustration3 ,figure #a4 ,casting on with ,two ,needles ,the first thing to be done in knitting is to cast on or1 as it is sometimes called1 to set up the foundation4 7,figure #a74 ,there are several methods for this1 the following being that preferred and generally used by the writer3 ,leave a spare end of thread1 sufficient for the number of stitches you wish to cast on1 lying toward the left1 the spool or ball from which the working-thread is drawn being at the right4 ,lay the thread between the little finger and the third of the left hand2 bring the working-thread across the palm of the hand1 around the thumb and back between the forefinger and second finger2 bend the forefinger over this thread 7which passes between it and the second finger71 pass it under the thread which crosses the palm of the hand1 and then draw the forefinger back1 or straighten it1 which will give you a loop with crossed threads4 ,put the needle under the lower part of this loop1 which draws from the ball1 bring the working-thread 7or ball-thread7 around the point of needle from right to left1 as in plain knitting1 draw it back through the loop1 slip off the latter1 and draw up the left thread4 ,then proceed to make the crossed loop and knit it off in the same way for the next and following stitches4 ,the whole operation is very simple1 although the instructions seem long because explicit4 ,take your needle and yarn or thread and follow them through carefully1 and you will very soon master the crossed casting on4 ,another method1 preferred by many and practically the same in effect1 except that the edge is not quite so firm1 is as follows3 ,loop the thread around the left forefinger1 holding the spare end between thumb and second finger1 pass the needle upward through the loop1 pass the thread around the point1 draw back through the loop1 slip off the latter and pull up the spare thread4 ,by passing the needle under the loop1 or lower thread1 instead of through it1 bringing it back through1 and then knitting off1 you will really get the crossed loop1 and many find this method easier than the first4 ,the thread used in casting on may be doubled1 particularly for beginning a stocking1 mitten1 or any article where much wear comes4 ,casting on may also be done with two needles1 and many like this method when there are many stitches4 ,twist a loop around the needle held in the left hand1 bring the end of thread1 or spare thread1 to the front1 crossing the working-thread to hold it in place--or1 if preferred1 simply tie a slip-knot and put the loop on the left needle2 insert the right needle through this loop from left to right1 put thread around point of right needle and draw through the loop1 bringing the right needle again in front of left4 ,thus far1 the process is quite like that of plain knitting4 ,keeping the right needle still in the new stitch or loop1 transfer the stitch to the left needle by bringing the latter in front and putting the point through the loop from front to back1 leaving the right needle in place for the next stitch2 the loops are not slipped off1 as in knitting plain1 but transferred1 so that all are kept on the needle4 ,a little practise will enable one to cast on thus very rapidly and evenly4 ,illustration3 ,figure #b4 ,knitting ,plain ,the plain knitting 7,figure #b71 is done as follows3 ,having cast on the requisite number of stitches1 insert the right needle through the front of left needle from left to right1 the right needle passing behind the left2 carry the thread around point of right needle and bring it down between the two needles1 then draw the point of right needle back and through the stitch1 forming the new stitch on right needle and letting the other slip off the left1 pushing down the point of left needle to facilitate this process2 repeat until all the stitches are knitted off and the row is complete4 ,where there are edges to be joined1 as in knitting back and fronts of a sweater1 it is a good plan to slip the first stitch of each row4 ,right here a suggestion about the method of holding the thread may be of value3 ,by the first method the thread is carried over the little finger of right hand1 under second and third fingers and over the tip of the forefinger1 which should be held close to the work2 it is this finger which passes the thread over point of right needle for the new stitch4 ,by another method the thread is carried over the left forefinger1 under second and third and over the little finger1 exactly as it is held for crocheting3 insert the right needle through #ast stitch on left needle in usual way1 push it over the thread on left forefinger1 and draw this back through the stitch with the point of right needle4 ,only the needle is held in the right hand1 and many workers claim that the work is much more rapidly done4 ,illustration3 ,figure #c4 ,purling ,the purl- or seam-stitch 7,figure #c7 is the exact reverse of plain knitting1 both as to method of work and appearance1 being in reality the wrong side of plain knitting4 ,in the latter the thread is kept at the back of the work2 for purling1 bring it to the front between the two needles4 ,put the point of right needle through the front of #ast stitch on left needle from right to left1 the right needle being thus brought in front of the left2 pass the thread around the front of right needle from right to left and back between needles1 then push down the point and draw the loop backward through the stitch1 instead of forward1 as in plain knitting1 the right needle being thus brought behind the left4 ,slip off the old stitch as usual1 and take care to return the thread to its place at the back before beginning to knit plain again4 ,illustration3 ,figure #d4 ,garter-,stitch1 or ,ridge-,stitch ,garter-stitch1 so called 7,figure #d7 is simply plain knitting back and forth1 which gives the effect of ridges1 one row knit1 the next purled4 ,this is a stitch much used for sweaters1 and other knitted garments4 ,if one wishes to have the right side appear as in plain knitting1 the #ast row must be knitted plain1 the next purled4 ,since one is the reverse of the other1 the right side will be plain knitting1 the wrong side purled4 ,illustration3 ,figure #e4 ,the ,double ,rib ,the rib-stitch is alternately plain and purled4 ,to knit the single rib1 99 knit #a1 purl #a2 repeat4 ,for double rib1 7,figure #e17 99 knit #b1 purl #b2 repeat2 and for triple-rib1 99 knit #c1 purl #c2 repeat4 ,any width of rib may be made that is liked1 always taking care--unless knitting in rounds1 as a wristlet1 mitten or stocking--to knit the stitches purled on the preceding row1 and purl the knitted ones4 ,there are a large variety of fancy patterns made by combining plain knitting and purling1 such as the basket-stitch and others1 of even or broken check4 ,there are many variations of the simplest stitches2 for example1 the common garter-stitch gives a particularly good effect if knitted from the back4 ,put the needle in from right to left1 through the back part of the stitch to be knitted2 leave the thread behind the needle1 then pass it from right to left over the needle and draw it through the stitch1 allowing the latter to slip off as in plain knitting4 ,in this stitch the two threads of the loop are crossed1 instead of lying side by side as in plain knitting4 ,illustration3 ,figure #f4 ,making ,overs ,overs 7,figure #f7 are used in all lace patterns1 and many times in fancy designs for wool knitting4 ,to make an over bring the thread before the needle as if to purl1 then knit the next stitch plain as usual4 ,this brings a loop over the needle1 which in the next row is to be knitted as any stitch1 thus increasing the number of stitches in the row4 ,in case it is not desired to increase the stitches1 one must narrow1 by knitting two stitches together1 once for every over4 ,if a larger hole is wanted1 the thread is put twice over the needle1 and in the following one of these loops is knitted1 the other purled4 ,to purl-narrow1 or purl two together1 bring the thread to the front as for purling1 then to form the extra stitch1 carry the thread back over the needle and to the front again2 then insert the right needle through two stitches instead of one1 and knit them as one stitch4 ,fagot is an abbreviation frequently used for this4 ,illustration3 ,figure #g4 ,binding ,off ,to slip and bind1 slip #ast stitch from left needle to the right needle1 without knitting it2 knit next stitch1 then draw the stitch on right needle over the knitted one1 letting it fall between needles4 ,to slip1 narrow and bind1 slip first stitch1 knit next two together1 and draw the slipped stitch over4 ,to cast off or bind off1 7,figure #g17 slip #ast stitch1 knit next1 draw slipped stitch over1 knit next stitch1 draw the previous knitted stitch over1 and continue1 taking care that the chain of stitches thus cast off be neither too tight nor too loose1 but just as elastic as the remainder of the work4 ,a ,sleeveless ,sweater

crochet1 the ordinary chain or1 as preferred because stronger1 knotted by what is called the fool's delight method1 although why named thus it is impossible to say4 ,surely it seems a very sensible way3 ,take a length of yarn six times as long as the cord is wanted2 make a slip or half knot at one end and pass the other end down through it to form a loop1 then tie the ends of yarn together4 ,hold this knot between thumb and forefinger of one hand1 say the right1 with the yarn which pulls through the knot under the same hand1 and the loop which was formed held on the forefinger2 hold the yarn which does not pull in the left hand1 pass the forefinger of the left hand through the loop on right forefinger from front to back1 catch up and pull through the non-pulling or left-hand thread--exactly as you would make a chain-stitch in crochet--transfer the knot 7which ties the two ends together7 to the thumb and forefinger of left hand1 keeping the loop over forefinger1 and draw up the pulling yarn4 ,now the position of the loop1 pulling yarn and knot is exactly the same in the left hand as formerly in the right4 ,continue by passing the forefinger of right hand through the loop1 catching up the non-pulling thread and drawing it through to form the new loop 7on right hand again71 transfer the knot and pull up4 ,this is really a sort of double chain1 and when one has learned to make it evenly and well1 it will be found superior for bags1 lingerie1 and many other articles requiring a drawstring or cord4 ,a ,serviceable ,sweater ,illustration3 ,a ,serviceable

to work a little block before beginning the pattern4 ,cast on1 say1 #ab stitches1 knit across and purl back1 repeating these two rows until you have a square4 ,there should be #e stitches to the inch in width1 and seven rows should make an inch in length4 ,if you get less1 use larger needles1 say ,no4 #f4 ,it is also a good plan to practise on the pattern a little1 so that you will become familiar with it and can narrow or widen and still keep the ridge4 ,cast on any number of stitches divisible by four1 with one stitch over1 knit #b1 purl #b1 until but one stitch remains1 and knit that4 ,all

taught the writer by an ,english teacher of crocheting1 herself a professional in the art4 ,in some periodicals and books1 the real slip-stitch is omitted1 and the single is called slip-stitch2 the double is called single1 the treble is called double1 the double treble is called treble1 and so on4 ,there are different ways of holding the crochet-needle and carrying the thread1 and many consider one way as good as another unless1 as is usually the case1 one's own method is thought a little the best4 ,the following instructions were given by the ,english teacher in question1 and are those commonly accepted3 ,hold the needle in the right hand very much as you hold a pen when writing1 letting the handle extend between the forefinger and thumb1 which rest on and hold the needle4 ,hold nothing but the latter in the right hand1 not allowing the fingers of that hand to so much as rest on the work4 ,hold work with thumb and second finger of left hand1 letting the thread pass over the forefinger1 slightly raised1 or held up from the work1 under the second1 over the third and under the little finger4 ,these instructions are especially good for using yarns1 when it is desirable to keep the work as soft and fluffy as possible4 ,illustration3 ,figure #a4 ,the ,chain-,stitch ,,the ,,chain4 7,figure #a47 ,make a loop of thread around the needle1 take up the thread and draw through this loop 7that is1 push the hook under the thread that passes over the forefinger1 draw it back1 catching the thread1 and pull this through the loop on the needle71 forming a new stitch or loop1 take up the thread and draw through this1 and so continue until the chain is of the length required1 tightening each loop as drawn through1 so that all will be of uniform size and smoothness4 ,after a little practise one does this without thought4 ,when abbreviations are used1 that for chain is ch4 ,,the ,,slip-,,stitch is properly a close joining stitch3 ,drop the stitch on the needle1 insert hook through the stitch of work to which you wish to join1 take up the dropped stitch and pull through1 thus making a close fastening4 ,this stitch is sometimes used to slip along certain portions of the work1 from one to another point1 but single crochet is more often employed for this4 ,the abbreviation is sl-st4 ,illustration3 ,figure #b4 ,single ,crochet ,,single ,,crochet 7,figure #b1 frequently called slip-stitch1 and sometimes mitten-stitch7 is made thus3 ,having a stitch on needle1 insert hook in work1 take up the thread and draw it through the work and the stitch on the needle at the same

you two stitches on the needle2 take up thread and draw through the two stitches4 ,the abbreviation is d c4 ,there are many variations of the double-crochet stitch2 the slipper-stitch1 or ribbed stitch1 is formed by taking up the back horizontal loop or vein of each stitch in preceding row4 ,a quite different effect is given when the hook is inserted under both loops4 ,illustration3 ,figure #d4 ,treble ,crochet ,,treble ,,crochet4 7,figure #d47 ,having a stitch on the needle1 take up the thread as if to make a stitch1 insert hook in work1 take up thread and draw through1 making three stitches or loops on the needle2 99 take up thread and draw through two1 again and draw through two4 ,the abbreviation of treble crochet1 is t c4 ,it will be noted that the single crochet has one draw1 the double two1 and the treble three1 from which these stitches take their names4 ,illustration3 ,figure #e4 ,half-,treble ,crochet ,,half-,,treble ,,or ,,short-,,treble ,,crochet4 ,like treble

times4 ,the abbreviation of double-treble crochet is d t c4 ,illustration3 ,figure #g4 ,triple-,treble ,crochet ,,triple-,,treble ,,crochet4 7,figure #g47 ,take up thread three times1 insert hook in work1 take up thread and draw through1 making five stitches on needle2 work these off two at a time1 as in double treble4 ,the abbreviation is t t c4 ,one sometimes has occasion to use other extra-long stitches1 such as quadruple crochet 7over four times before insertion of hook in work71 quintuple crochet 7over five times71 and so on1 which are worked off two at a time1 exactly as in treble or double treble4 ,in turning1 one chain-stitch corresponds to a double1 two chain-stitches to a half or short treble1 three chain to a treble1 four to a double treble1 five to a triple treble1 and so on1 adding one chain for each extra draw4 ,,parentheses 77 ,,and ,,asterisks ,,or ,,stars 99 99 are used to prevent the necessity of repetition and save space4 ,they indicate repeats of like directions4 ,thus3 7,chain #c1 miss #c1 #a treble in next7 three times is equivalent to chain #c1 miss #c1 #a treble in next1 chain #c1 miss #c1 #a treble in next1 chain #c1 miss #c1 #a treble in next2 or to 99 chain #c1 miss #c1 #a treble in next1 repeat from 99 twice4 ,the worker should be careful in the selection of a hook4 ,it should be well made and smooth1 and of a size to carry the wool smoothly1 without catching in and roughening it4 ,if too large1 on the other hand1 the work is apt to be sleazy4 ,needles that have been used for some time work more easily than new ones4 ,if all makes of crochet-needles were numbered in the same way the size might be easily designated2 but it happens that no two manufacturers use like numbers for the same sizes1 hence the rule given is the best that can be4 ,crocheted ,jacket ,illustration3 ,crochet ,jacket ,one color or two may be used for making this pretty jacket1 which is extremely modish1 and very comfortable for the cool days and

around top of band either the double chain may be made1 an ordinary chain filled with double crochet1 or--better still--the cord may be knotted by what is called the fool's delight method--which seems a very sensible method1 indeed3 ,take a length of the ,angora wool six times as long as the cord is wanted to be2 indeed1 it will be better to start with a longer piece1 for fear it may take up more rapidly than anticipated4 ,make a slip or half knot at one end of the yarn1 pass the other end down through this to form a loop1 then tie the ends of the yarn together4 ,hold this knot between thumb and forefinger of one hand 7say the right71 with the yarn which pulls through the half knot under the same hand1 and the loop which was formed held on the forefinger1 holding the yarn which does not pull in the left hand2 pass the forefinger of left hand through the loop on right forefinger from front to back1 catch up and draw through the non-pulling or left-hand thread--exactly as you would make a chain-stitch in crochet--transfer the knot which ties the two ends together to thumb and forefinger of left hand1 keeping the loop over forefinger1 and draw up the pulling yarn1 or that passed originally through the half knot4 ,now the position of the loop1 pulling yarn and knot is exactly the same in the left hand as formerly in the right4 ,continue by passing forefinger of right hand through the loop on left forefinger1 catching up the non-pulling thread and drawing it through to form the new loop 7on right forefinger again71 transfer the knot from left hand to right1 and pull up1 repeating the process from beginning4 ,this is really a sort of double chain1 and when one has learned to make it evenly and well--as may be done with a little practise--it will be found superior for
