About This Book

A practical manual presenting eighty clear knitting patterns and step-by-step directions for garments and household items, from stockings, socks, shawls, and jackets to cushions, purses, and rugs. It explains yarn types, needle sizes, tension, and approximate costs, and covers techniques such as ribbing, brioche, cable, loop, and double knitting. Detailed procedures are given for heels, toes, decreases and increases, sizing adjustments, and finishing, with plain-language explanations aimed at inexperienced knitters and tips for achieving fit and durability.

Double Knitting with Four Pins.

Cast on twice the number of stitches you wish to have on the right side of the knitting.

* Bring the wool forward, slip 1, put the thread back, knit 1, putting the thread twice round the needle. Repeat from *.

Second round—pearl, putting the thread twice round the needle, put the wool back to the other side, and then slip the long stitch. Repeat these two stitches.

You must be very careful in changing these rows, as otherwise it joins. A good plan is to tie a piece of red wool where the pattern begins. Of course the pattern interlaces at the 1st stitch, but otherwise it ought to be quite separate.

Third round—the same as 1st.

Fourth row—the same as 2nd.
