About This Book

A practical manual that opens with a concise glossary of knitting terms and guidance on a standard filiére (gauge), then explains basic operations such as casting on, increasing, decreasing, ribbing, and turning. The main body presents numerous reworked patterns and stitch diagrams for household and wearable items — quilts, shawls, baby hoods and bonnets, caps, bags, purses, edgings, doyleys and Shetland motifs — offering varied textures, borders, insertions, and raised or open stitches to aid home knitters in producing decorative and utilitarian pieces.

Open Pattern for a small Quilt.

Cast on five stitches for each pattern.—German wool, used double.—Needles, No. 7.

First row—bring the thread forward, slip one; knit two, pass the slip-stitch over them; bring the thread forward, slip one; knit one, pass the slip-stitch over it.—Repeat.

Second row—pearl knitting.

Commence again, as at first row.

This quilt is prettiest when lined with coloured silk. It should be trimmed with a vandyke edging, knitted with wool.
