About This Book
A practical manual presents rake knitting as a therapeutic pastime for the sick and convalescent, detailing the tools, materials, and measured plans for straight and round rakes and peg settings. It explains three basic stitches and gives step-by-step instruction for winding, casting on, changing stitch types, shaping, finishing, and estimating yarn quantities. Illustrated patterns and diagrams show how to make shawls, scarves, jackets, caps, and sweaters for various sizes, include color arrangement suggestions, and offer assembly and buttonhole techniques to help produce attractive, wearable garments even with restricted movement.
