## PREFACE.

It 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 Knitting Book, 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 Crochet Book, 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 verbatim 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 iiemployments, 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.

1INSTRUCTION IN KNITTING,
AND
EXPLANATION OF TERMS.

## TO CAST ON WITH ONE PIN.

Take 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.

2

## TO CAST ON WITH TWO PINS.

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.

3

## PLAIN KNITTING.

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.

## TO MAKE A STITCH

Bring the thread forward between the pins; when this stitch is worked in the next row it will form an open stitch.
4

## TO MAKE TWO, THREE, OR MORE STITCHES.

Turn the thread as many times round the pin as E, F, G, and in the next row; pearl a stitch 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.

## TO SLIP A STITCH.

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.

5

## TO KNIT TWO STITCHES TOGETHER.

Take two stitches with the right hand pin, and knit as 1 stitch.

## TO KNIT THREE STITCHES TOGETHER.

Slip 1 stitch, knit 2 stitches together, and with the point of the left hand pin turn the slipped stitch over the 2 knitted together, leaving but 1 stitch.

## PEARL, ALSO CALLED SEAM, BACK, AND RIB KNITTING.

Commence the row with the thread in front of the pin, pass the point of the pin down the stitch, turn the thread round the pin, and take it off as in plain knitting; repeat, always keeping the thread in front.

## PEARL AND PLAIN STITCHES IN THE SAME ROW.

Pass the thread to the back of the work before knitting plain stitches, and to the front before pearling stitches.

6

## TO PEARL TWO OR THREE STITCHES TOGETHER

Keep the thread in front of the pin, pass the point of the right pin down 2 or 3 stitches, and pearl them together.

## TO MAKE A STITCH IN PEARL KNITTING.

Having the thread in front of the pin, turn the thread completely round the pin, so as to bring it in front again.

## TO FORM A ROUND.

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.

7

## TO RAISE STITCHES.

The work must be held on the right side. Put the pin in the selvedge or side of the work, as H; pass the thread round the pin and bring it through, so as to form a stitch of plain knitting; repeat the same to the end.

## A ROW.

Is knitting from one end of the pin to the other.

## A PATTERN.

Is the number of rows, that are worked before commencing again.

8

## TO JOIN TWO PIECES OF KNITTING TOGETHER.

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.

## THE STITCHES BETWEEN A PARENTHESIS ( ).

(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.

## A MARK *.

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.

9

## TO CAST OFF.

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.

## STITCHES OVER.

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.

Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
1.F.
1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.
1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.
Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.
The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
