TRICOT ECOSSAIS.

A chain row is always made for the foundation of the work, the same as in Crochet, and after the number of chain stitches are made, as given in each direction, the last loop is to be kept on the needle.

Section.

1st row—still keeping the loop on the needle—miss the 1st chain stitch, put the needle into the next chain stitch, take up the wool on the needle and draw it through in a loop; * keep the two loops on the needle, put the needle into the next chain stitch and repeat from * to the end of the chain. This is termed “raising” loops or stitches, and there should be as many loops on the needle as the foundation chain.

To “Work back”—Take up the wool on the needle and bring it through the last loop on it, * then take up the wool again and bring it through the two next loops, as shown at the left side of the Section. Repeat from * to the end.

In raising the loops for the 2nd row the needle is to be put into the upright loops of the previous row, as shown in the two first loops at the right side of the section.

To “Increase”—The third loop on the needle is an increased stitch, which is made by putting the needle between two upright loops and bringing the wool through as usual.

In counting the loops always reckon the number on the needle, including the one at the edge.

To insure correctness in the size of the Needles used in Mdlle. Riego’s publications, a drawing of the Gauge by which they are numbered, is now given. All Knitting Needles are measured in the circle close to the numbers. Tricot Needles the same, gauging by the stem.

H. Walker’s Needles have long enjoyed great popularity with those who value really good Needles. They have been greatly altered by Patented Improvements of a most important character.

H. Walker’s Patent Penelope Crochets have had so many imitations, it is necessary to repeat the request that all who wish for the true Needle will see that the word “Penelope” is on the handle.

The new Patent Uncotopic Handles to the Penelope Needles have the word “Uncotopic” on each, and persons who would avoid disappointment will please to observe these trade marks. The Uncotopic Handle keeps the Needle at all times in the true position for work, and is invaluable alike to a beginner, or to an accomplished worker.

The following is from “The Engineer,” of May 4, 1859:—“Difficult as it may appear to entirely change the structure of so small an article, the figures above show what may be done even with the eye of a Needle.

“Fig. 1. A, is a ridge or slightly raised part before the eye; B, the eye; C, a groove beyond the eye into which the thread falls.

“Fig. 2 is a side view of the part A, B, C, showing the thread recessed as in sewing, when the usual pressure of the thimble drives the Needle with its thread at once through the cloth, affording relief of no ordinary character to the tailor or seampstress, and saving much of their time. We have submitted these Needles to a good judge of such articles, who has declared them superior to all others, not only as above stated, but particularly also with relation to facility of threading.”
