M. C. + + + + +ADVERTISEMENT. + + +The chief object of this Assistant is to enable Teachers of Classes +properly to explain the art of Knitting; for, however simple the art +may seem, it has often been observed that little Teachers have a +difficulty in expressing the meaning of their instructions to their +pupils. + +The Questions and Answers here furnished, combined with exemplification +in practice, will, it is hoped, tend to remove this difficulty. + +The annexed scales of stockings and socks may be useful to knitters in +general. + + + + +CONTENTS. + + PAGE +Questions on Knitting 9 + +Narrowing 14 + +The Heel 15 + +The Foot 16 + +For a Stocking of eighty-five Stitches, second Size 18 + +For a Stocking of ninety-one Stitches, third Size 20 + +For a Stocking of ninety-nine Stitches, fourth Size 21 + +For a Stocking of a hundred and nine Stitches, fifth Size 23 + +For a Stocking of a hundred and nine Stitches, Man’s Size 24 + +For a Stocking of a hundred and thirty-three Stitches, +second man’s size, with needles and wool rather finer 26 + +For a Sock of forty-nine Stitches, first Size 27 + +For a Sock of fifty-five Stitches, second Size 29 + +For a Sock of eighty-five Stitches in Scotch Fingering, +Man’s size 30 + +Scale of Stockings and Socks 32 + + + + +THE KNITTING TEACHER’S ASSISTANT. + + + + +_Questions on Knitting._ + + +_Q._ What is the first thing you do in knitting a stocking? + +_A._ I cast on the stitches. + +_Q._ How do you cast on the stitches? + +_A._ I take the worsted that is on the ball in the right hand, and +twist it once round the little finger, pass it under the two next, and +bring it over the fore-finger, and take the needle between the finger +and thumb. + +_Q._ What next? + +_A._ I take the _end_ of the worsted in the left hand, twist it +round the little finger, bring it over the thumb and round the two +fore-fingers, to form a loop. + +_Q._ What do you do then? + +_A._ I put the needle under the lower worsted of the loop, and bring it +above that which goes over the fore-finger. + +_Q._ What do you do with the worsted which is over the fore-finger of +the right hand? + +_A._ I pass it under the needle, bring the needle _down_ through the +loop, and draw the worsted in the left hand tight; which finishes the +stitch. + +_Q._ How many stitches do you cast on each needle for a stocking of +seventy-three stitches to fit a child of five? + +_A._ Twenty-four on two needles, and twenty-five on the third.[1] + +_Q._ Is there any reason for there being an odd stitch on one needle? + +_A._ Yes: there must always be an odd stitch on one needle, for the +seam. + +_Q._ What do you do when you have cast on the stitches? + +_A._ I begin to knit. + +_Q._ How do you make the knitting stitch? + +_A._ I put the needle through the stitch, turn the worsted over the +needle, take up the worsted I turned over, and let off the under loop. + +_Q._ How many rounds do you knit _plain_? + +_A._ One. + +_Q._ How do you fasten in the end of the worsted? + +_A._ I knit it in with the three first stitches. + +_Q._ What next? + +_A._ I knit six rounds _ribbed_. + +_Q._ Why do you knit six rounds ribbed? + +_A._ To prevent the top of the stocking from curling. + +_Q._ How do you form the ribs? + +_A._ By knitting three stitches plain, and turning three. + +_Q._ How do you make a _purl_ stitch? + +_A._ I bring the worsted before the needle, and instead of putting the +needle over the upper worsted I put it under. + +_Q._ What is the next thing you do? + +_A._ I begin the seam. + +_Q._ How do you make the seam? + +_A._ By purling the stitch every second round. + +_Q._ Which is the seam stitch? + +_A._ The first stitch on the first needle. + +_Q._ How many rounds must you have before you begin narrowing? + +_A._ Eighty. + +_Q._ How do you fasten on a fresh piece of worsted? + +_A._ By reversing the ends upon each other, and knitting six stitches +with the worsted thus doubled. + +_Q._ If a stitch be dropped, and you do not discover it till you have +gone one round, how do you take it up? + +_A._ I take the stitch that is dropped with the right needle, and put +it on the left; then take up the loop at the back, put it over the left +needle, and cast the stitch over it. + +_Q._ If the stitch has been dropped for many rounds, how do you take it +up? + +_A._ I take it up on a spare needle, pass the needle under the lowest +loop, and cast the stitch over the loop, then take up the next loop as +before, till they are all taken up. + + +FOOTNOTES: + +[1] N.B. All the proportions in the following scales are for coarse +worsted and large needles. + + + + +_Narrowing._ + + +_Q._ How do you narrow? + +_A._ I slip one, knit one, and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted +one before the seam, and knit two together after the seam, leaving one +stitch on each side between the seam and the narrowing. + +_Q._ How many times do you narrow, to form the calf? + +_A._ Eight times. + +_Q._ How many rounds do you leave between the narrowings? + +_A._ I narrow every third purl stitch, which leaves five rounds between. + +_Q._ How many rounds do you make after the last narrowing before you +begin the heel? + +_A._ Thirty-six. + + + + +_The Heel._[2] + + +_Q._ How do you begin the heel? + +_A._ I divide the stitches in half, leaving the seam stitch for the +middle of the heel. + +_Q._ Do you knit the heel like the rest of the stocking? + +_A._ No; I knit it in rows, and every row on the inside of the heel +must be purl stitches. + +_Q._ How long do you make the heel? + +_A._ Twenty-four rows. + +_Q._ How do you finish the heel? + +_A._ I knit the nine middle stitches in rows, like the heel, taking up +one of the others with the last stitch of every row till they are all +taken off. + +_Q._ How many needles do you use? + +_A._ Only two. + +_Q._ How many stitches are there when the heel is finished? + +_A._ Nine. + + +FOOTNOTES: + +[2] If the heel or toe be required stronger than usual a finer worsted +must be added in those parts. + + + + +_The Foot._ + + +_Q._ How do you begin the foot? + +_A._ By taking up the stitches at the sides of the heel on the second +row. + +_Q._ How many stitches do you take up for the foot? + +_A._ Sixteen on each side of the heel. + +_Q._ What do you do next? + +_A._ I narrow every second round on each side of the instep till the +number is even with the ankle. + +_Q._ How many narrowings do you make? + +_A._ Seven on each side. + +_Q._ How many stitches will there be then? + +_A._ Fifty-six. + +_Q._ How many rounds do you make between the heel and toe narrowings? + +_A._ Twenty-eight. + +_Q._ How do you begin the toe? + +_A._ By narrowing twice at each side, leaving two stitches only +between; this decreases four stitches. + +_Q._ How often do you narrow? + +_A._ Twice, leaving three rounds between, twice leaving two, twice +leaving one, then every round till I have sixteen stitches left. + +_Q._ How do you finish? + +_A._ I put the two needles that have the stitches on them together. + +_Q._ What next? + +_A._ I take a stitch from each, and knit them together. When two +stitches are done in this way, I cast the first over the last, and so +on till they are all taken off. + +_Q._ How do you widen? + +_A._ By knitting two stitches in the same loop. + + + + +_For a Stocking of Eighty-five Stitches, Second Size._ + + +_Q._ How many stitches do you cast on?
