The examples of knitting, contained in the following pages, have been selected with the greatest care,—many are original,—and the whole are so arranged as to render them comprehensible even to a novice in the art.
Knitting being so often sought, as an evening amusement, both by the aged and by invalids, a large and distinct type has been adopted,—as affording an additional facility. The writer feels confident in the recommendation of My Knitting Book, and humbly hopes it may meet with the same liberal reception that has been accorded to her Hand-Book of Needlework.
The numerous piracies that have been committed on her last mentioned work, have been one inducement to publish this little volume; and from the low price at which it is fixed, nothing, but a very extended circulation, can ensure her from loss. Some few of the examples have been selected from the chapter on knitting, in the Hand-Book.

To cast off. —To knit two stitches, and to pass the first over the second, and so on to the last stitch, which is to be secured by drawing the thread through.
