 «*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 on
the first stitch. Place the cotton over
the thumb and first finger of the left
hand, in such a way as to have the
end
of 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 same first Cast on Stitch

position of the cotton is used in illustrations 2 and 3. Take

the 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 pass
;

the 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.

 Xo. 2 — Casting on
of Single Stitches. Begin in the same —
manner 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 from
loop a and drawing the end of cotton.

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

Thi Casting on of a New Row of Stitches. This
casting 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

—
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 must
be 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 on
the thumb (marked b in illustration), and insert them as shown
in 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 manner
a- 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 has to take. This done,

it

insert the needle downward into

loop b, and draw the latter
through loop resting on the
thumb, withdraw the thumb and
close the knot. Every loop on
tlie needle must be knitted sepa-
rately at the lirst row.

such a manner as to have the cotton just under the right hand
needle. 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. To
remedy this, while working the next round or row, take the
thread which has been thrown over the needle from it, and
pull it through the loop of the stitch. To repair a dropped
stitch, 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 knitboth 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, and
this 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 take a stitch off the left needle and
is to
to 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, well to employ the first method when narrowing

it is

at the end of the round or row and the second method when ;

narrowing 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 must be given to the size of
a stocking, attention
tin- knitting which ought to correspond with the
needles,
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 difference between the knitting of different persons,
;i

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

to the judgment of the knitter to determine the exact number
of 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
willform 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 and
first 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. Repeat
20 times from * until 110 stitches and the 2 seam stitches are
left on the needles. This done, knit plain 30 rounds. The
knitting of the heel now begins. Divide the stitches by
putting 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. When
knitting 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 rows
long, counting each time across as 1 row.

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" now
and 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

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 hand

To Renew the Heel and Sole of Stockings

Knitted by Hand.
Illustrations 15 to 18 show the manner of doing this. To
renew the- heel of a stocking, first remove the damaged heel by
cutting along the sides
of the heel, at the end
of the cap and at the
beginning of the heel.
Make even the stitches
belonging to the p arts
from which the heel has
just been cut. Take

needles, as illustrated in

usual way, until the number of stitches corresponds to the
number of stitches of the fifth needle. Join these 2 rows of
stitches together, as illustrated in cut No. 16. This is done by
darning. Take an end of the cotton long enough for this pur-
pose, and pass it, by means of a darning needle, downward
through the last stitch of the stocking, and through the first
one of the stitches on the fifth needle, or upper row. Then
pass it through the next 2 corresponding stitches of the cap
of the heel. See illustration No. 17, which shows the needle

How to Darn Stockings.

The darning of a stocking can be done in different ways.
The way most generally adopted is that of cross-work darn-
ing, which looks x<'vy well when neatly worked. But the
darning in imitation of the knitted stitch, although more tedi-
ous, [g preferable; for, when ii is well worked, it cannot be
told from ill-- knitting, excepl on the wrong side.

No. 20 To Imitate the Knitted Stitch in Darning. —
This work requires careful preparation. Loosen the damaged
part, above and below it, in the width, in such a way that
there will remain 2 even rows of perfect
loose stitches. The first and last stitches
of the upper row must correspond to
those of the lower row. Cut the dam-
aged part through the middle. Fold
each half back upon the inside of the
stocking, where it will have to be
trimmed and fastened. Work a foun- No. 20. Darning in Imitation:

width-wise, inserting each thread into the second stitch from

the edge of the opening, and making it correspond with every
knitted row. See illustration No. 20.
Then work on this foundation as follows Place the darn- :

ing cotton at the left, pass the darning needle downward

under the lowest of the threads of foundation, and pull gently
the darning cotton, so as to form the half of a stitch. Work
in same manner on the other foundation threads. After mak-
ing the half stitcli upon the top thread of foundation, pass
ilie needle through the nearest upper stitch of the stocking.

Turn the work. Place the darning cotton towards the right-
Pass the needle downward, under the top thread of founda-
tion, draw the cotton lightly, and in this way the first whole
sritch will be formed. Continue to work in same manner on
the foundation threads, until the entire work is done.

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 and the other half at the back of the
at the front
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.
