Rake Knitting Patterns

by Bertha Thompson

Pockets.

1. For a pocket 5 inches wide, cast on about 70 stitches, 35 nails in each row.

2. Knit 3½ inches single stitch.

3. Knit 1 inch triple cross-stitch.

4. Cast knitting from the rake.

5. Sew pockets to the front of the sweater just above the band of triple cross-stitch.

SWEATER NO. 2.

This sweater is of the slipover style, with sleeves and a collar.

Follow the foregoing directions for sweater No. 1, with the following changes:

1. When the two parts of the front have come together in the center, after shaping the V neck, drop one ball of yarn when winding brings it to the armhole. Continue knitting the full width of the front with the other ball.
