PREFACE.
.sp 2
<sc>It</sc> is usually considered necessary to introduce works of any
description, however trifling, with a few prefatory remarks. Happily
the days of dedication are nearly at their close, and an author has
now only to direct the attention of the reader to any particular
leading features.

I trust that my endeavours in this <sc>Knitting Book</sc>, in the
elementary instructions contained, with the full explanation of terms
and carefully executed illustrations, are conveyed with a
distinctiveness, easily to be comprehended by the learner. The designs
are original, and have repeatedly been worked with great care, to
prove their correctness; the illustrations have equally shared my
supervision; and I humbly hope and trust that it may be as successful,
and give as much satisfaction to my friends and the public, as my
<sc>Crochet Book</sc>, for which I am amply rewarded by its
unprecedented success, and grateful for the many flattering
testimonials received. I must here also make some observations upon
the many cheap publications that have recently appeared (two of which
have copied <i>verbatim</i> my illustrated instructions, even to a
fault in the drawing), and to direct the attention of those of my
readers competent to understand the many plagiarisms and general
unfitness as works of instruction, of the majority, if not the whole
of those publications. I should hope, and it is needless to say, that
these remarks proceed not from the impulse of a spirit of rivalry, but
from a sincere conviction that the details and instructions therein
conveyed are calculated seriously to mislead, if not entirely prevent
and disgust the student from acquiring a proper knowledge of these
elegant and useful
// b_02.png
.pn +1
employments, by their incorrectness; that, in short, they are nothing
more than very imperfect arrangements, copied from the really useful
Works that have been hitherto published, and tend quite as much to
injure those Who publish from experience, as those who learn in order
to derive instruction or add information to their previous knowledge.

Ladies who may require instruction, can obtain cards of address at the Publisher’s, or

the purposes of sale, can have permission upon application.

<sc>Take</sc> the thread, and putting it
between the second and third fingers
of the left hand, leave an
end of about one yard for every
100 stitches; pass it round the
left thumb, from left to right;
then take the pin in the right
hand, placing it under the crossing
of the thread; put the needle
down the loop, and bring the
thread from the outside forward
on the point of the pin; take the
thread in the right hand, and
passing it round the pin as A,
turn the loop B on the left thumb
over the pin, and draw it tight
with the end thread in the left hand, and repeat until the required number of stitches are
on the pin.

This is the Spanish method, and
is particularly adapted for working
fine wools, by its forming a
looser stitch. Tie a loop at the
end of the thread, and put it on
the pin, holding it in the left
hand; take the other pin with
the right hand, and put it in
the loop; pass the thread between
the pins, and bring it
forward then with the right hand
pin; bring the thread through
the loop on the left pin; there
will now be a loop on each pin
as C and D; then pass the loop
D on to the left pin; repeat by
putting the right hand pin through the loop D, and passing the thread between the pins
as before.

After casting on the stitches, hold
the pin with the stitches on it
in the left hand, and with the
thread turned round the little
finger of the right hand pass it
under the second and third fingers,
and over the forefinger;
take the other pin in the right
hand; put this pin into the first
loop on the left pin, and with
the forefinger of the right hand
pass the thread between the pins,
bring the thread through, which
forms one stitch; then take the
loop off the left pin and repeat.

Turn the thread as many times
round the pin as E, F, G, and

and knit a stitch, alternately,
taking off one turn of the thread
each time, for as many stitches
as were made in the row before.
.sp 4
.h2
TO SLIP A STITCH.
.sp 2
To pass a stitch from the left pin to the right without working it. In all knitting the first
stitch of every row should be slipped to make a firm and even selvedge; this is not
mentioned in the receipts, as it would much lengthen the description, but is to be observed
as a fixed rule; for example, when a row commences thus; knit 2 together, work as
follows:—slip the 1st stitch, knit the 2d, and turn the slipped stitch over the knitted one.

4 or 5 pins are required; cast on
the required number of stitches
on one pin, and divide them
equally on the other 3 or 4 pins,
keeping the 4th or 5th pin to
knit with, and with this pin
knit the 1st stitch that was
cast; on knitting off the 3 or 4
pins form one round.

As in the Berthe and Collar, place
the two pins containing the
work together, the deepest at
the back, and with a third pin
put it through one stitch of
each pin, as I and K, and knit
them as one stitch.
.sp 4

THE STITCHES BETWEEN A PARENTHESIS ( ).
.sp 2
(Knit 2 together, and knit 1 three times), are worked thus, knit 2 together, knit 1; knit
2 together, knit 1; knit 2 together, knit 1; this prevents useless repetition.
.sp 4
.h2
A MARK *.
.sp 2
When this mark (*) occurs in a row, the stitches before it are not to be repeated in the
row, being merely the edge stitches to prevent the work from decreasing; thus when
knit 3 together, is in a row, the row generally begins with knit 2 together and ends the
same.

Knit the first 2 stitches; turn the
first stitch, as L, over the 2d M;
knit the 3d and turn the 2d
stitch over; repeat at the end of
the row, draw the thread through
and fasten off. When part of a
row only is cast off, as for example—cast
off 30 stitches, leaving
20 stitches; cast off 31 stitches,
and put the last loop cast off on
the left pin, to make up the 20
stitches.
.sp 4
.h2
STITCHES OVER.
.sp 2
A stitch or stitches over, in many of the patterns, commencing thus—“cast on 10 stitches
for each pattern, and one over” for 7 patterns, cast on 71 stitches. As many patterns
end with “make a stitch,” it could not be done without this stitch to perfect the pattern.

The pins are all gauged by the Bell Gauge.

Shawl are easily arranged
to form an elegant canezou
thus: work the chemisette
pattern until there are
199 stitches on the pin instead
of 135, and work the
sides the same, repeating
the pattern 10 times instead
of 6; then work
one piece of the border
with the same pins and
