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.
4-ply fleecy, and bone pins to match.
Cast on 19 and rib cross-ways in nines. When long enough drop the middle stitch. Cast on 9 in white, rib another stripe in the same way, and drop the middle stitch. Crochet with black along every coloured stripe, and join to the white with maize or orange. Two stripes of green and one of purple look very nice.
