public1 ,i have tried to remedy one fault which ,i have often heard complained of1 namely1 that knitting-books generally give so many more stitches than are really required4 ,this is partly owing to the different qualities of wool used by different knitters1 and partly also1 to a certain extent1 whether the worker knits loosely or tightly4 ,the following directions are for medium knitters4 ,as knitting sometimes shrinks in the washing1 ,i should advise my readers to try and knit moderately loose4 ,but1 of course1 the principal thing is to have the same sized wool or silk as that for which the directions are given2 and this is especially important in socks and stockings4 ,i will therefore state that ,charity wheeling is the thickest and most harsh kind of yarn made2 ,scotch wheeling is a trifle less coarse4 ,scotch fingering is the usual yarn sold for socks and gentlemen's stockings3 it ought to be very strong1 and to appear about the same size as ,berlin4 ,if it looks finer 7and some does7 put on more stitches than are given4 ,for couvrettes1 and things of that kind1 the size of the wool and pins is1 of course1 a matter of less importance1 as it does not signify whether the work is a trifle larger or smaller than intended2 but in stockings1 a slight thing makes a good deal of difference in the fit4 ,i have also endeavoured to explain everything at full length1 so as to enable inexperienced knitters to find out the patterns by themselves2 the cost of each article is put1 whenever possible1 at the head of the pattern4 ,,explanations4 #8,to purl or pearl' and #8to seam' mean the same thing2 that is1 to put the wool round the right-hand needle4 ,thus3 the wool hangs straight down1 it must be lifted and placed round the needle from right to left4 ,you must then insert the right-hand needle into the stitch1 exactly the opposite way as in ordinary knitting4 #8,to decrease' is simply to knit two stitches together4 ,another way is to slip a stitch1 knit one1 pass the slipped stitch over it4 #8,to take two together' means to knit two together4 #8,to increase1' you must knit both into the lower part of the stitch1 and also into the stitch itself4 ,stockings and ,socks4 ,the directions given for silk stockings are worked with ,adams and ,co4's silk1 #e ,new ,street1 ,bishopsgate ,street1 ,e4 ,it is very good1 and of lovely colours4 ,patterns are sent free1 and all orders can be sent by post4 ,any uncommon shade can be dyed to order1 provided it be not for less than #a lb4 of silk4 ,the prices are as follow3--,imperial knitting-silk1 the best quality1 any colour1 #cs4 per #b oz4 skein4 ,filoselle1 any colour1 #bs4 per oz41 or #c;d4 per skein of #ae yards4 ,embroidery silk1 #as4 #f;d4 per oz4 ,knitting-pins1 #b;d4 per set of four4 ,these knitting-silks are guaranteed fast colours1 and are beautifully bright and soft4 ,those of my readers who prefer a coarser knitting-silk will be glad to hear that ,mr4 ,adams is now making some4 ,general ,remarks on ,socks and ,stockings4 ,for a lady's stocking it is best to decrease once and increase three times for the calf of the leg4 ,for a gentleman's this is unnecessary4 ,most of these directions are for ribbed stockings1 as they fit so much better2 but if preferred plain1 of course the same number of stitches is required4 ,you must always remember in ribbed stockings to carry on the ribs and seam-stitches all down the back of the heel1 until you begin to round it4 ,the ribs on the front of the foot must be continued straight on1 until within an inch of the decreasing for the toe4 ,the seam-stitch is made by knitting a certain stitch in two rounds and pearling it in the third4 ,before decreasing for the instep1 do two or three plain rounds and then begin4 ,the #8flap1' or heel before it is rounded1 ought to be three inches1 or even more1 as a long heel wears better4 ,it also makes it much stronger to knit it double with ,angola wool1 of the same colour as the knitting2 it can be bought at any linen-draper's on wooden reels for #b;d4 ,one reel does a pair4 ,except for young boys1 socks fit quite well without being decreased at all for the ankle2 therefore ,i only give one pattern on the decreasing principle4 ,with silk stockings the size of pins is important4 ,heel of a ,stocking or ,sock4 ,to inexperienced knitters the heel seems to present mountains of difficulty1 but in reality the mountain is but a mole-hill after all4 ,the following pattern is one of the best4 ,divide your stitches4 ,we will say you have #ej altogether1 on three needles3 take #ab on each side of the seam-stitch1 and knit these #be backwards and forwards in rows1 not rounds 7making the seam-stitch all the same72 you must pearl backwards1 so as to keep the knitting even4 ,continue until you have made a flap about three inches long1 always slipping the first knitted stitch4 ,now knit1 from the right-hand side1 the #ab stitches2 then the seam-stitch1 which from this time forward you cease to make4 ,knit #d stitches beyond it2 knit #b together2 knit #a2 turn1 pearl until you get to #d beyond the seam-stitch1 pearl #b together1 pearl #a1 turn4 ,knit until you come to the stitch in the previous row where you turned--you may know it easily by the little hole which was formed by the turning2 you now knit #b together and knit one more stitch1 then turn4 ,pearl the next row1 of course always pearling #b together where the little hole has been left1 and so on until you have gradually worked off the stitches4 ,you then pick up the side-stitches of this flap and the heel is finished4 ,to ,decrease for the ,toe of a ,sock or ,stocking4 ,put half your stitches on one needle1 a quarter on the second1 and a quarter on the third needle4 ,thus3 suppose you have #fj stitches1 you must have #cj on one side and #ae on the other two4 ,the #cj must be the front or ribbed part1 the two pins with #ae stitches on them ought to be the sole part4 ,in doubling your knitting now1 the front part ought to lie evenly on the sole of the foot4 ,begin to knit the #cj stitches2 knit #bg1 slip #a1 knit #a1 pass the slipped stitch over1 knit #a4 ,now begin the next pin2 knit #a1 knit #b together4 ,continue plain knitting4 ,now begin the #crd pin2 knit #ab1 slip #a1 knit #a1 pass the slipped stitch over1 knit #a4 ,now you begin again on the #cj4 ,knit #a1 knit #b together4 ,continue plain4 ,do two rounds plain1 and then decrease again in the same manner #d stitches in every round1 leaving always #b stitches between the decreasing1 remembering always to do two rounds of plain knitting between each decreasing round4 ,repeat for two inches and cast off4 ,some people only do one round between the decreasing3 this plan makes the toe rounder and more puckered4 ,decreasing for ,instep4 ,on the right-hand side of the heel1 just where the ribs leave off1 you slip #a1 knit #a2 pass the slipped stitch over2 continue plain knitting2 and where the ribs begin again you knit #b together4 ,you must remember that on the right side of the heel you slip1 and on the left that you knit #b together4 ,lady's ,striped ,silk ,stocking4 7,,medium ,,size47 #b oz4 black and #b oz4 rose-coloured ,imperial knitting-silk4 ,pins1 ,no4 #ag4 ,cast on #abh stitches in black1 do #ab rounds of #b plain1 #b pearl4 ,now make the first stitch the seam-stitch1 and do plain knitting until #d inches are done1 making the stripes come quite evenly1 one inch broad4 ,when you have once joined the rose-coloured1 let the black thread hang down inside the seam-stitch2 do not break off every time you change colour1 which must always take place at the seam-stitch4 ,now do #c plain and #a pearl alternately4 ,when #e inches are done decrease on each side of the seam-stitch4 ,do 99 #g more rows and increase4 ,repeat from 99 twice more4 ,when #ab inches are done decrease for the ankle every five rows until you have #ib stitches4 ,knit until the stocking is #bj inches long1 and then divide for the heel4 ,proceed as on page #aj2 pick up the side-stitches1 and decrease over the instep until you have #ij stitches3 the front ribs must be carried on evenly1 but the sole is left plain4 ,when the foot is #g inches long discontinue ribbing4 ,knit #i rounds plain1 and then decrease 7see page #ab74 ,the foot must be #i inches long4 ,cast off and sew up carefully on the wrong side4 ,lady's ,white ,silk ,evening ,stocking4 ,proceed as in the former pattern1 with #abh stitches1 in the finest kind of silk4 ,plain silk stockings are the easiest to knit1 but when finished the striped ones are very pretty1 especially when worn to match the dress1 with low shoes4 ,gentleman's ,evening ,silk ,sock4 7,,average ,,size47 ,cast on #ajh stitches4 ,rib by doing #a plain1 #a pearl4 ,when #c

,cast on #ach stitches in black1 and proceed exactly the same as with ,gentleman's ,knickerbocker ,stockings1 page #af4 ,measure an inch of each coloured knitting alternately3 it is better to measure than to count the rows1 as silk is apt to be unequal4 ,the ankle ought to be #ajj stitches4 ,knit a flap #c inches long for the heel1 turn it1 pick up the side-stitches1 and decrease at the instep to #ih4 ,after the first joining of the black and blue1 pass the colour you are not using at the back2 always change the colour at the seam-stitch3 in that way you need not break off the silk when you have finished a stripe1 but keep on with both balls1 so as to join the silk only once4 ,the remainder as page #af4 ,lady's ,silk ,stocking4 ,knitted with ,adams and ,co4's thickest knitting-silk and

to match the commencement1 and finish off the points with tassels4 ,the next stripe1 if preferred1 can be done in a different pattern1 only you must remember to make the points1 by beginning with one
