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.

(ON TWO PINS.)

Berlin wool, and pins No. 15.

Cast on 3 stitches in blue or any other bright colour. 1st row, make 1, knit 1, repeat. 2nd row, make 1, pearl 2, repeat. 3rd row, make 1, knit 3, repeat. 4th row, make 1, pearl 4, repeat. Continue in this way until you have 42 stitches. Pearl a row and join the black wool. * Bring the wool forward, knit 2 together; repeat from *. Knit the next row. Repeat these 2 rows twice more. Do the same in blue, then the same in black again. Join the blue, * knit 2 together, knit 1; repeat from *. The next row plain. Do this for 4 rows. To form the neck of the jug rib with black for 6 rows. For the spout, knit to the middle; increase, knit 1; increase; the rest plain. Pearl a row, increasing on each side of the 2 centre stitches. Increase in this way until you have 14 for the spout; cast off in blue. Sew up the jug and make the handle in blue, beginning a third of an inch from the top; take up 4 stitches; pearl and knit alternately until long enough, then attach to the bowl of the jug.

This can be knitted in Andalusian and pins No. 17, but in that case you must make the bowl larger—68 stitches is a good size; and the neck or ribbed part must be done for 12 rows instead of 6.
