spool-knitter of his childhood1 perhaps a home made affair--a large empty spool with four wire brads driven in around the opening at one end--on which one made an endless rope of colored yarns1 to use1 maybe1 for reins when playing horse4 ,our ex-service patients in the army and public health service hospitals have seized upon the principle of this toy1 and have applied it in making 8rakes0 of various sizes on which they have 8knitted0 a large number of articles1 from silk neckties to wool shawls1 caps1 sweaters and capes4 ,they have found real interest and pleasure in this pastime4 ,the patient flat on his back in a plaster cast1 sometimes with the use of only one hand1 has been able to make garments as attractive and well-made as the man who is up and about4 ,the results of their experiments in 8rake knitting0 have been so very worth while1 that ,i have wanted to make them available for the use of the sick and convalescent everywhere4 ,therefore ,i have prepared this pamphlet of patterns4 ,it does not pretend to exhaust the possibilities of 8rake knitting10 but merely offers a few patterns which have been used successfully in knitting with two and four-fold yarn4 ,special thanks are due the patients of ,kenilworth ,hospital1 ,u4 ,s4 ,p4 ,h4 ,s41 ,biltmore1 ,n4 ,c41 who worked out some of these patterns and allowed me to photograph some of their finished work4 ,,table

to handle1 and holds the nails securely4 ,select well-seasoned lumber1 free from knots1 about to inch thick4 ,rakes made from thinner wood give in the middle and are not satisfactory4 ,the opening within the rake can be cut out with a keyhole saw1 or better still with a jig saw or a band saw1 if such is available4 ,the rakes must be well-planed and sandpapered1 and no roughness left anywhere to catch the wool when knitting4 ,the dimensions for the rakes are given in ,figs4 #a1 #b and #c4 ,the long rakes 7,fig4 #a7 are set with #a inch finishing nails or with #a inch1 ,no4 #af wire brads4 ,the nails must be set carefully as indicated in the drawing and project evenly inch above the surface of the wood4 ,the small double round rake 7,fig4 #b7 is set with #a inch finishing nails4 ,the large round rake 7,fig4 #c7 is set with #a inch ,no4 #aj wire brads1 or with wooden pegs whittled from inch doweling1 leaving a small head to prevent the yarn from slipping off too easily4 ,the pegs should be securely glued into holes drilled just the right size to take them4 ,many patients prefer the wooden pegs in the round rakes4 ,such a rake was sold in some stores during the war and used for knitting hospital stockings to cover surgical dressings4 ,illustration3 ,fig4 #e--,nutpick ,illustration3 ,fig4 #f ,for a pick1 an ordinary nutpick1 7,fig4 #e7 will serve very well1 or one can be made

,long ,rake4 ,take the long rake1 shown in ,fig4 #a1 with nails set inch apart1 in rows inch apart4 ,drive a thumb tack or a carpet tack into the side of the rake near each end until the head is just a little above the surface of the wood4 ,this is to hold the yarn after winding4 ,illustration3 ,fig4 #aj4 ,first ,winding4 ,first ,winding4 ,the same for all stitches4 #a4 ,tie yarn to nail ,a1 leaving an end #c or #d inches long which is slipped through the opening of the rake4 ,let the rake rest in the left hand4 ,with the right hand wind the yarn around the nails as shown in the diagram4 ,do not pull the yarn too tight2 just hold it easily between thumb and finger4 ,when the last nail 7,b7 is reached1 wrap the yarn once around the tack to hold it4 #b4 ,draw the smooth flat side of the pick rapidly down the length of the rake between the rows of nails4 ,this pushes the yarn to the bottom of the nails1 and leaves space above for the second winding of yarn4 ,illustration3 ,fig4 #g4

or plain stitch1 7,fig4 #g7 do not cross the yarn4 #a4 ,the first winding ended at ,b with the last cross at ,c4 #b4 ,wind the yarn around ,d and ,e without crossing it1 and so on back to the end of the rake where the first winding began4 ,wrap the yarn around the tack4 #c4 ,the yarn has passed twice in front of each nail with the exception of nail ,b4#a #d4 ,with the pick lift the lower thread 7first winding7 over the upper thread1 7second winding7 and off the nail4 ,do not stretch the yarn more than just enough to lift it over the head of the nail4 ,do this at each nail along one side1 then along the other1 leaving out the nail ,b which has just one thread4 ,this completes the first row of stitches4 #e4 ,draw the smooth flat side of the pick rapidly down the length of the rake between the rows of nails to push down the yarn1 and make room for the next winding4 #a ,as the knitting proceeds it will be found that a nail at one end or the other is left with only one thread each time the yarn passes over and back4 ,this corresponds to the first 8slipped stitch0 in knitting with needles4 ,second ,winding--,continued4 ,in double or cross-stitch4 7,fig4 #h7 #a4 ,the second winding is the same as the first winding2 that is1 the yarn is crossed4 #b4 ,with the pick lift the lower thread over the upper thread as in single or plain stitch4 ,this completes the first row of stitches4 #c4 ,draw the smooth flat side of the pick along between the rows of nails to make space for the next winding4 ,triple cross-stitch4 7,fig4 #i7 #a4 ,wind once over and back as if for double or cross-stitch4 #b4 ,wind the yarn a third time across the rake1 crossing it as in the first and second winding4 #c4 ,three threads now pass in front of each nail except ,a and ,b4 ,lift the lower thread 7first winding7 over the upper two threads and off the nail4 ,do this at all the nails except ,a and ,b4 ,this completes the first row of stitches4 #d4 ,push threads to the bottom of the nails by drawing the smooth flat side of the pick rapidly along between the rows of nails4#b ,to make the second row of stitches1 wind once across the rake1 and lift the lower thread off as described above4 ,push threads to the bottom of the nails1 and wind back over the rake for the third row of stitches1 and so on4 #b ,care must be taken to do this after each row of stitches has been lifted over the nails4 ,as the knitting grows it can also be gently pulled through from the other side of the rake4 ,chapter #c4 ,,winding ,,round ,,rakes4 ,the round cap rakes illustrated in ,figs4 #b and #c are wound according to the following directions3 ,round ,cap ,rake 7,fig4 #b47 ,stitches are cast on this round rake in the same way as on the long rake described in ,chapter #b1 except that the winding continues around the rake4 ,single or double stitch may be used4 #a4 ,tie the yarn to one of the nails4 #b4 ,wind once around the rake as directed in ,chapter #b for the first winding1 until the nail to which the yarn is tied is reached again4 #c4 ,continue winding until this nail is reached a second time1 that is1 until two threads pass in front of each nail4 #d4 ,wrap yarn around a thumb tack in the side of the rake4 #e4 ,lift the lower thread 7first winding7 over the upper thread 7second winding7 and off the nails4 ,when only one thread remains around each nail1 run the smooth flat side of the pick around between the rows of nails to push down the threads1 and make room for the next winding4 #f4 ,continue by winding once around the rake2 that is1 until two threads again pass in front of each nail4 ,lift the lower thread over the upper thread and off the nails to complete the row of stitches4 ,illustration3 ,fig4 #ab4 ,round ,cap ,rake 7,fig4 #c47 ,to knit a cap on this rake the single stitch is used1 as a rule4 #a4 ,to cast on stitches1 tie yarn to a nail1 7,fig4 #ab71 and wind to the left1 until nail ,a is reached again4 #b4 ,then1 holding the yarn in the left hand1 pass it along in front of nail ,a1 and above the first winding1 and lift the lower thread on the nail over the upper and off the nail4 #c4 ,move the rake around a little until the yarn held in the left hand passes in front of nail ,b4 ,be sure it is above the thread already on the nail4 ,lift lower thread over the upper thread and off the nail4 #d4 ,continue in this way around and around the rake until the knitting of the cap is complete4 ,the pattern for a cap is described in ,chapter #ab4 ,chapter #d4 ,,general ,,instructions4 #a4 ,how to ,change from ,single or ,double ,stitch to ,triple ,stitch4 ,wind across the rake and back1 crossing the yarn4 ,there are now three threads on the nails4 ,lift the lowest thread over the upper two threads and off the nails4 #b4 ,how to ,change from ,triple ,stitch to ,single or ,double ,stitch4 ,lift the lower two threads together over the upper thread and off the nails4 #c4 ,how to ,cast ,off ,stitches in ,shaping ,garments4 ,lift the stitch from one nail onto the next in the other row4 ,lift the stitch already on this nail over the new one1 and off the nail4 #d4 ,how to ,add ,stitches in ,shaping ,garments4 ,wind one or more of the empty nails according to directions1 when the end of the row of stitches is reached4 ,wind back across the rake and knit these new stitches in the same way as the others4 #e4 ,how to ,cast ,off ,knitting from the ,rake4 ,there are two ways to do this4 #a4 ,leave a length of yarn1 when cutting off the ball1 long enough to knit once across the rake4 ,beginning at the opposite end of the rake1 with a large knitting needle lift a stitch first from one row of nails and then from the other until all the stitches are on the needle4 ,then cast off as in ordinary knitting4 7,see directions in any book on knitting47 #b4 ,another way is to take off the stitch from the first nail with a crochet hook1 then the stitch from the first nail in the other row1 and draw this one through the stitch already on the hook4 ,then take off the next and draw it through the stitch on the hook1 and so on until all the stitches have been crocheted from the rake4#c ,it will be found that sometimes1 with certain yarns1 this makes a very tight edge4 ,in this case it is better to use the length of yarn left hanging1 and having lifted off two stitches1 instead of drawing the second through the first1 draw a loop of the yarn through both1 leaving this loop on the hook4 7,this is called a slip stitch47 ,take off the next stitch and repeat4 ,continue until all the stitches have been crocheted from the rake4 #c ,be sure always to take a stitch first from one row of nails and then from the other4 #f4 ,how to ,take ,up the ,loose ,stitches at the ,beginning of the ,knitting4 ,examine a piece of knitting that has just been cast off the rake4 ,it will be observed that the last row is much tighter than the first4 ,to take up these loose stitches at the beginning1 crochet once across1 using the slip stitch described in paragraph #b of section #e of this chapter4 #g4 ,how to ,sew ,garments ,together4 ,use one strand of yarn and a short darning or tapestry needle4 ,match the stitches1 take up one thread on each side1 and do not draw the yarn too tightly4 #h4 ,how to ,make ,buttonholes4 ,cast stitches off two to six nails1 depending on the size of the buttonhole to be made1 beginning at the sixth nail from the edge4 ,add these nails again in the very next row of knitting4 ,crochet around the buttonholes with a single stitch or finish with a buttonhole stitch1 using one strand of yarn4 ,loops may be made instead of buttonholes by crocheting along the edge to be fastened1 leaving loops of chain-stitch long enough to go over the button4 #i4 ,how to ,determine the ,quantity of ,yarn ,required for ,any ,pattern4 ,some yarns work up more quickly than others1 and some stretch more4 ,this difference in yarns makes it impossible to give exact quantities required for any pattern which would apply to all brands of yarn1 or to give the exact number of nails that must be used to knit a given width4 ,therefore the size of the finished garment is indicated instead4 ,where a quantity is given1 it is only approximately estimated from the kinds of yarn ,i have used4 ,select a good brand of yarn1 and find out by experiment how far one ounce will go4 ,choose the rake you are going to use4 ,knit a piece #f or #ab inches wide4 ,make a note of the number of nails it takes4 ,with this as a guide it will not be difficult to estimate the amount of yarn needed for any of the patterns in this pamphlet4 ,it is always better to get a little too much than not to have enough4 ,it is often difficult to match a yarn1 particularly at local stores4 #aj4 ,how to ,adapt the ,patterns for ,smaller or ,larger ,garments4 ,the measurements are given on each pattern4 ,it will readily be seen that these can be changed to make the garment smaller or larger4 ,having made the experiment suggested in section #i1 and having found out how many nails it takes to knit a piece #f or #ab inches wide1 with a given kind of yarn1 it will not be difficult to find out how many nails to use in knitting the size garment desired4 #aa4 ,how to ,make ,other ,patterns4 ,almost any simple1 straight-line garment can be knitted on a rake4 ,make an outline drawing of the garment as it will look before the seams are sewed together4 ,decide upon the measurements1 length1 width1 etc4 ,having made the experiment suggested in section #i1 it will not be difficult to work out the new pattern4 ,chapter #e4 ,,to ,,make

and ,scarf4 #f4 ,to make a good edge to which the fringe can be knotted1 crochet once across the end of the shawl1 using the slip stitch described in section #e of ,chapter #d4 #g4 ,do not make the fringe too heavy4 ,double two or three lengths of yarn and knot into the shawl at the bottom of each rib4 ,these may be left hanging or may be knotted in various ways4 7,see ,fig4 #ad47 ,explanation of ,diagrams of ,borders4 ,figs4 #af to #cc show some borders for shawls which may be worked out in one or more colors4 ,the number of rows of knitting required for each stripe are given4 ,to find out how long to make the center of the shawl1 measure the distance from the beginning of the knitting to the edge of the last stripe in the border4 ,allow the same for the border on the other end1 and subtract the number of inches required for both from the entire length of the shawl4 ,narrow ,scarfs and ,mufflers4 ,almost any of the designs for borders can easily be adapted for use in narrow scarfs or mufflers4 ,the scarf shown in ,fig4 #ae is #fj inches long and #aj inches wide4 ,it took #f ounces of silky wool for the ground color and #a ounces for the border4 ,chapter #f4 ,,harmonious

,textile ,color ,card ,association of the ,united ,states1 ,inc41 #cae ,fourth avenue1 ,new ,york4 ,the card contains #acc standard colors1 and is being very widely used in every branch of industry interested in color4 ,the manufacturers of knitting yarns have based their standard colors on this card1 which is so well-known among dealers throughout the country that it is possible to order a color by its name and number1 stating that these have been taken from the standard color card4 ,the ,textile ,color ,card ,association is very glad to give full information concerning the color card and its use4 ,some of the color arrangements in the following pages have been taken from this color card4 ,where the standard trade name for a color is not commonly known1 ,i have given the more usual descriptive name4 ,the colors are lettered to correspond to the letters used in the diagrams1 the main color of the shawl being called the ground color4 ,where strongly contrasted colors are used1 a narrow line of black 7one or two rows of knitting7 between the colors will help to harmonize them4 ,the following suggested color combinations are only a few of the many good combinations of colors
