Many ladies in working a pattern, copy on cards each row separately; this prevents confusing one row with another.

The stitches between the mark, thus (knit 2 together 3 times) are worked, knit 2 together, knit 2 together, knit 2 together; this prevents useless repetition.

The pins and meshes are all gauged by the standard or wire-drawer’s gauge.

To raise stitches—Put the pin in the selvedge or side of the knitting, put the wool round the pin as in knitting, and bring it through, so as to form a stitch.

To make a stitch—Bring the wool forward between the needles.
