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 the right-hand side of the heel, just where the ribs leave off, you slip 1, knit 1; pass the slipped stitch over; continue plain knitting; and where the ribs begin again you knit 2 together. You must remember that on the right side of the heel you slip, and on the left that you knit 2 together.
