«*HOW TO KNIT.**
•o-^o.
The necessary materials for knitting are either cotton,
worsted, silk or thread, and knitting needles.
Stockings and all knitting worked in rounds require four
knitting needles, three of which are used for holding the
stitches of the work, and the fourth to knit with.
The casting on of stitches forms the beginning of knitting.
It consists of loops formed around a knitting needle. Every
loop will form a stitch. The number of stitches will deter-
mine the width of the object which is to be knitted.
There are five different ways of casting on stitches. For
the casting on of stitches always unroll an end of the cotton
long enough to work the stitches required, as this end is used
in the formation of those stitches.
No. 1.—Illustration No. 1 shows the
position of the cotton, ready to cast onthe first stitch. Place the cotton over
the thumb and first finger of the left
hand, in such a way as to have the endof cotton, which must be sufficiently
long for the required number of stitches,
fall from the thumb toward the palm of
the hand. Hold this end and the other
part of the cotton with the remaining
fingers of the left hand. This sameposition of the cotton is used in illustrations 2 and 3. Takethe needle with the right hand, place it over the cotton,
between the thumb and the first finger, pass it under the
cotton resting around the thumb, bring it upward ; then passthe needle downward, under the cotton resting on the first
finger;pass this loop through the loop around the thumb,
withdraw the thumb from the loop;pass the thumb under
the end of the cotton, toward the palm of the hand ; draw this
end in order to close tli^ stitch just formed.
No. 1. Position to form thkfirst Cast on Stitch
Xo. 2—Casting on ofSingle Stitches.—Begin in the samemanner as described in Xo. 1. and make 2 stitches. Then take
up on the needle the loop which is around the thumb (see
illustration 2), without withdrawing the thumb, insert the
needle around the cotton marked o in illustration Xo. 2, from
right to left, and draw it through loop a ; close this stitch as
already directed in Xo. 1, by withdrawing the thumb fromloop a and drawing the end of cotton.

Xo. 3.—This casting on of stitches requires two needles.
Form the first stitch in same manner as described in Xo. 1.
Then, with the left hand, hold the needle on which this first
-Mich is formed, pass the cotton over the first finger of the left
band, take a needle with the right hand, and insert the point
into the loop on the left needle, wind the cotton around the
P'-int of the right needle, draw it through the loop, * insert the
point of the h-ft needle into the loop just formed on the right
needle, wind the cotton around the point of the right needle,
draw it through the loop. Repeat from *. See illustration 3.
No. i Thi Casting on of a New Row of Stitches. Thiscasting on of stitches is generally employed in knitting with
rated, which requires :i new casting on of stitches in the
progress of the work, h is done by putting the worsted (see
illustration No. 4) over the thumb of the Left hand, holding'I nd between the second and third fingers, * take up the
rted around the thumb and lying toward the palm of thehand, bj inserting the needle from under the worsted in anupward direction (see illustration No. 1 1,
w ithdraw the thumbfrom tli" loop, pasa the thumb nnder the end of worsted resl
ing in the palm of the hand, and draw it to close the stitch.

Xo. 5.—The casting on of stitches illustrated in cut No. 5
forms a narrow border after the first row has been knitted. In
order to easily knit the first row, the casting on of stitches mustbe done on a pair of knitting needles. Unroll an end long
enough for the required number of stitches. Double it. Fold
this doubled end in half, insert the point of the needles into
the fold, place on the first finger of the left hand the long end
of the worsted which is among the short ends. Place the
three short ends over the thumb. Hold all these ends with
the second finger. Take on the needles the ends resting onthe thumb (marked b in illustration), and insert them as shownin illustration Xo. 5. Then pass the needles through the loop
on first finger, in the direction of the arrow, and pass this loop
through the loop already formed on the needles, withdraw
the thumb, close the stitch by drawing the three ends, which
is done by passing the thumb under them.
Xo. 6
—
Double Casting on of Stitches.—The difference
between this method of casting on and the preceding is, that
every knot forms, each time, two loops instead of one, on the
needle. The first knot must be formed in the same mannera- described in Xo. 5. In order to work the second knot,
insert once more the needle into the loop of three ends which
6
rest on the thumb, marked a in
illustration No. 6. The arrow, in
same illustration, shows where
to insert the needle and the di-
rection it has to take. This done,
insert the needle downward into
loop b, and draw the latter
through loop resting on thethumb, withdraw the thumb and
close the knot. Every loop on
tlie needle must be knitted sepa-
rately at the lirst row.

ifiHT.-illy used in ordinary knitting. First, cast on the required
number of stitches in one of the ways already described. Thisdone, take in the left hand the needle on which are the loops.

such a manner as to have the cotton just under the right handneedle. Pull this cotton through the loop, withdraw the left
hand needle from the loop, and the purled stitch is formed.
How to Repair a Stitch which lias been Half Knitted, or
Dropped while Knitting.—In knitting, one ought to be careful
not to drop stitches or to form half stitches. The latter hap-
pens when the thread thrown over the right hand needle has
not been pulled through the loop of the left hand needle. Toremedy this, while working the next round or row, take the
thread which has been thrown over the needle from it, andpull it through the loop of the stitch. To repair a droppedstitch, insert the left needle into the stitch, gather all the
threads on the right hand needle and pull them through the
loop of the stitch, one after the other.
To Increase.—There are two ways to increase. The first
is, to knit both in the lower part of the stitch and also in the
stitch itself. The second way is to bring the cotton forward
round the end of the right needle, to the front ; this forms a
loop on the right needle when the next stitch is knitted, andthis extra loop is the made stitch. It is preferable to increase
after the first manner in plain knitting, as this way of increas-
ing is not so marked. The second manner is used in fancy
knitting, as it leaves a little opening after the stitch is formed.
To Slip a Stitch is to take a stitch off the left needle andto slip it on to the right needle without knitting.
With any work knitted in rows, it is necessary that the
first stitch of every row be worked as a slipped stitch. If it
is a row of purl, the first stitch must be slipped off as if it
were plain knitting ; if it is a row of plain knitting, slip the
first stitch off as if it were purl knitting.
How to Narrow.—The usual way of narrowing is to knit
two stitches together, viz. : put the right needle through two
of the loops on the left needle, and knit them as one stitch.
Another method is to slip a stitch, knit one, and then with
i he left needle cast the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch.
When the narrowing is used to give a certain shape to the
work, it is well to employ the first method when narrowing
at the end of the round or row ; and the second method whennarrowing at the beginning of it.
Casting Off is done as follows : Knit two plain stitches,
with the left needle throw the first stitch over the second,
knit a third stitch, throw the second over the third, knit a
fourth, throw the third over the fourth, and so on until the
last stitch is worked. Pull the cotton through, and a knot is
formed.
The Joining of Ends in knitting ought never to be done
by knotting them together. It maybe done so that no defect
is visible on the right side of the work, by lapping them three
indies together, and knitting five inches with doubled thread,
Leaving the ends on the wrong side of the work. These ends
ran then be neatly darned into the wrong side of the work.
Lady's Stocking.
To knit a stocking, attention must be given to the size of
tin- knitting needles, which ought to correspond with the
number of the material with which the stocking is to be
knitted. It would be difficult to give the exact number of
stitches necessary for any given size of stocking, as there is
always ;i difference between the knitting of different persons,
since some knil loosely, others very closely. It must be left
to the judgment of the knitter to determine the exact numberof stitches required for the Btocking i<> be knitted.

17th Round.—* Slip 1, knit 1, draw the slip stitch over
the knitted stitch, make 1 ; repeat from * to end of round.
18th to 34th Rounds, inclusive.—Knit plain.
Then fold in half the piece knitted, so that the 17th round
will form the edge of the border.
Pick up on other knitting needles the stitches of the 1st
round, i. e., the stitches cast on, and knit each of them with
each stitch of the 34th round. This finishes the border. Thus,
the lower edge of the border forms a fancy design of small
scallops. Purl 3 rounds, knit plain 3 rounds, purl 3 rounds.
Then knit plain until the leg of the stocking is twelve
inches long. In the first round of this plain knitting begin
the seam stitch, which ought to correspond with the last andfirst stitches cast on. This seam stitch is repeated in every
third round.
After the twelve inches have been knitted, narrow in the
following round 1 stitch on each side of the seam. Knit 8
rounds. Narrow 1 stitch on each side of seam. Knit 7
rounds. Narrow, in manner already described. Knit 6 rounds.
Narrow. Knit 5 rounds. * Narrow. Knit 4 rounds. Repeat20 times from * until 110 stitches and the 2 seam stitches are
left on the needles. This done, knit plain 30 rounds. Theknitting of the heel now begins. Divide the stitches byputting on 1 needle the 2 seam stitches and 28 stitches on
each side of them. Thus, there will be upon this needle 58
srirr-hes. Knit this needle, backward and forward, in rows,
making the seam stitches as usual.
When knitting backward, purl all these stitches. Whenknitting forward, knit plain all the stitches with exception
•of the seam stitch, which must be purled. Always slip the
first knitted stitch. Continue knitting until the flap is 44 rowslong, counting each time across as 1 row.
1st Row.—Now purl from the left hand side the 28
stitches and the 2 seam stitches. Purl 2, knit 2 together,
purl 1. Turn.
2d Row.—Slip 1, 3 plain, 2 purl (seam stitches), 2 plain,
knit 2 together, 1 plain. Turn.

knit 2 together, 1 plain. Turn.
5th Row.—Slip 1, purl 10 (seam stitch included), purl 2together, purl 1. Turn.
Continue to knit in this wise until the remaining stitches
are gradually worked off. Then pick up the side stitches of
this flap, which amount to 36 on each side, and the heel is
formed.
Knit the side stitches of the flap, "making 1" nowand then, so as to make the number of stitches on each side
of the heel amount to 40.
Knit again in rounds. After every 2 rounds purl the
flrst 2 stitches together, then the last 2 stitches together, of
the heel stitches. Narrow in this manner 12 times. This
done, the number of stitches in the whole round is reduced to
110, i. e., to the original number before the beginning of the
heel. Knit plain 50 rounds. Commence narrowing of toe as-
follows: * knit 2 together, knit 8 plain. Repeat from * to
end of round. Knit S rounds plain. * Knit 2 together, knit
? plain. Repeat from * to end of round. Knit 7 rounds plain.

Heels of Stockings.
There are three other ways of knitting a stocking-heel, as
illustrations 9, 10 and 11 show. In the directions for knitting
these heels, the same number of stitches is taken as in the
directions for knitting the heel of "lady's stocking," i. e., 28<
stitches on each side of the 2 seam stitches, thus leaving 54
for the front of the foot.
Heel No. 9.—Knit 44 rows backward (purling) and for-
ward (plain). While knitting these rows, make a seam stitch
on each side of the flap. These 2
seams must correspond with the
seam in the center of the flap.
See illustration Xo. 9.
When the 44 rows have been
knitted, the rounding of the heel
begins. Knit from right handside 19 stitches (including the
side seam stitch), knit 2 togeth-
er, knit 14 plain (center seamstitch inclusive), slip 1, knit 1
plain, draw the slip stitch over
the 1 plain. Knit 5 plain. Turn.
Slip 1, purl 25. Turn. Slip 1,
knit 3 plain, knit 2 together, knit 14 plain, slip 1, knit 1 plain r

Continue working thus to
the end of cap, alternating
every time each row in same-
manner as described. Whenthe heel is finished, 26 stitches
muse remain on the needle.
Heel No. 10.—This heel is
knitted partly in rounds with
the front of the foot, and part
ly by itself in rows. Divide
the stitches evenly on 4 nee-
dles, and knit in rounds with

This done, begin the cap of the heel. Put on a special
needle the 1*2 middle stitches (6 on each side of the seam
stitch), and knit these in rows, forward and backward, until
1»'> rows have been worked. Narrow at the end of each of
these rows, in knitting the last stitch of the row together with
the first of the remaining stitches on the next needle, then
knit the following stitch and turn.
Knit If, lows more without narrowing, but at the end of
each row knit 1 of the stitches remaining on the next needle,
and then turn to knit the following row.
When this is done, continue to knit in rows, and narrow
again at t lie end of each row by knitting the last stitch of
each row together with one of the remaining stitches on the
nexl needle; then turn and knit the following row. Whenthf remaining stitches have all been narrowed into the heel,
then begin to knil t he foot in rounds.
Heel To. i L.—To workthis heel, knit a flap of a
good length in rows, back-

usual way, until the number of stitches corresponds to the
number of stitches of the fifth needle. Join these 2 rows of
stitches together, as illustrated in cut No. 16. This is done bydarning. Take an end of the cotton long enough for this pur-
pose, and pass it, by means of a darning needle, downwardthrough the last stitch of the stocking, and through the first
one of the stitches on the fifth needle, or upper row. Thenpass it through the next 2 corresponding stitches of the cap
of the heel. See illustration No. 17, which shows the needle
inserted in the 2 stitches through
which the cotton is to be drawn.
Pass the needle through the next
2 corresponding stitches of the
upper row. in the same direction as
is shown by the arrow in illustra-
tion No. 17. From there * pass it
through the last stitch, already
worked, of the lower row, and through next stitch ; thenthrough the next 2 corresponding stitches of the upper row.Slip every time the stitch from the knitting needle after hav-ing passed the cotton through them. Repeat from * until all
the stitches of the 2 rows are joined to each other. Whenthis is done, fasten the cotton
on the wrong side of the stock-
ing by drawing it through a few
stitches.
Illustration No. 17 repre-sents only a part of the joining,
where the stitches are workedvery loosely, in order that it
might be copied more easily.
Yet, while working, the stitches
of the joining must be drawn to
the same size as the knitted
stitches, of the stocking, and in
such a manner that the joining
cannot be detected from theknitting.

to do this, a new heel must first be knitted to the stocking in.
rhe usual way. When this is done, pick up the side stitches
of the heel and begin to knit the sole in rows, to and fro, 1 rowplain, the other purled. At the end of every plain row pick
up the last stitch of the corresponding row of the old sole, andknit it together, plain, with the last stitcli of row just knitted.
The same thing must be done at the end of every purled row,
only purl the 2 stitches together instead of knitting them plain
»gether. Always slip, plain, the first stitch of every row.
The narrowing of the sole, on both sides, must be donejust before knitting together the last stitcli of the row andthe last stitcli of the corresponding row of the old sole.
After the new sole has been knitted, turn the stocking onthe wrong side ; cut off the old sole along both sides, yet leav-
ing a strip of 4 stitches in width on each side. Lay eacli strip
towards the front part of the foot. Unravel them. Smooth,down the ends formed by the unraveling, and fasten them to

How to Darn Stockings.
The darning of a stocking can be done in different ways.The way most generally adopted is that of cross-work darn-ing, which looks x<'vy well when neatly worked.

To Imitate the Knitted Stitch in Darning.—This work requires careful preparation. Loosen the damagedpart, above and below it, in the width, in such a way that
there will remain 2 even rows of perfect
loose stitches. The first and last stitches
of the upper row must correspond to
those of the lower row. Cut the dam-aged part through the middle. Foldeach half back upon the inside of the
stocking, where it will have to betrimmed and fastened. Work a foun-
dation of threads across the opening,
width-wise, inserting each thread into the second stitch fromthe edge of the opening, and making it correspond with everyknitted row. See illustration No. 20.
Then work on this foundation as follows : Place the darn-ing cotton at the left, pass the darning needle downwardunder the lowest of the threads of foundation, and pull gentlythe darning cotton, so as to form the half of a stitch. Workin same manner on the other foundation threads. After mak-ing the half stitcli upon the top thread of foundation, passi lie needle through the nearest upper stitch of the stocking.Turn the work.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR KNITTING
ORIENTAL RUGS AND CARPETS.
Cut the various colors of wool required for the pattern
in equal short bits. Then knit with 11 inch No. 13 needles
as follows :
1. The first row flat plain with coarse cotton or twine.
2. The second row one stitch plain ; then take a piece
of wool and knit it in with the next stitch, so that one half
of it is at the front and the other half at the back of the
work ; then one plain again, and put the half left at the
back round to the front of the work, and continue this
alternately to the end of the row. Knit one row plain
again, then one row same as the second, and so on.
The Carpet may be knitted in pieces of any size and
sewn together. If the surface is not quite level cut it even
afterwards.
The best results are obtained by using Oriental Wool,
Smyrna Cotton and designs manufactured expressly for the
purpose and lately introduced into this market by Messrs. H.
Taylor & Co., of Philadelphia. Rugs knitted from these
materials are as beautiful and serviceable as the real Oriental
Carpets, and, if well done, cannot be distinguished from
them.
