FANCYKNITTING.This isdoneaccording tospecial instructionsgivenstitchbystitch,but the

details include only foundation principles, such as knitting plain, seaming orpurling,widening,narrowing,etc.,etc.

SEAMINGORPURLING.“Seam”and“purl”aredifferentnamesforthesamemovement.Everyknitter

knowshowto“seamastitch.”Topurlastitchmeansexactlythesamething.Forthosewhoarenotproficientinknittingasyet,weexplainasfollows:To“seam”or “purl,” throw the thread from its usual position at the back of thework infrontoftheright-handneedle(seeNo.8);theninsertthepointofthelatterunderthenextstitch thrusting it throughfromtheright toward the left insteadof thewayusualinknittingplain;thiswillbringtheright-handneedleinfrontoftheleftoneinsteadofbackofitasinplainknitting;nowthrowthethreadaroundthe right-handneedleby the samemovement as theoneused inplainknitting(seeNo. 9), and draw the loopbackward instead of forward. Seamor purl asmany stitches as required, and then throw the yarn back of the needle into itsordinaryposition.Thefrontoftheworkisthesidenexttotheknitter;theback,thesideawayfromher.

METHODSOFWIDENINGORINCREASING.Widening by throwing the thread in front of the needle between stitches

makes a tiny opening that is objectionable, except in fancy patterns. In plainknittingitisbesttowidenbyknittingaplainandapurledstitchoutofthesameloopwithoutslippingtheloopuntilbotharemade;or,byknittingoneoutofthefrontandoneoutofthebackofthesamelooporstitchinthesamemanner;or,bytakingupandknitting,asastitch,thebarofthreadbetweenthetwoneedles.Wheretwostitchesaretobemadebythrowingthethread,itmustpassinfrontof the needle, over it and to the front again. The general direction for this is,“threadovertwice.”Inworkingback,tocompletethetwonewstitchesknitthefirstthrow-overlikeanordinarystitch,butinknittingthesecondyoumustputtheneedle into theback loopof the stitch insteadof the front. Inwideningorincreasingthreestitches, thesameplanmustbeobserved,byknittingfromthebackofthesecondandthirdthrow-overs.Inincreasingbythrowingthethread,the following is another method: Pass the right needle through a loop in theordinarymanner,throwthethreadtwicearounditanddrawthetwothrow-oversthroughtogetherasiftheywereone.Thisispracticallythesameasthrowingthethreadovertheneedletwicebetweenstitches,andthethrow-oversareknitoffinthesamemanner.

EDGESTITCHES.The stitch at each end of a row in knitting is called the edge stitch. It is

generallydisposedofsoastokeeptheedgestraightoreven,butisnotspokenofasanedgestitchininstructions.
