A PATTERN.
Is the number of rows, that are worked before commencing again.
TO JOIN TWO PIECES OF KNITTING TOGETHER.
As in the Berthe and Collar, place the two pins containing the work together, the deepest at the back, and with a third pin put it through one stitch of each pin, as I and K, and knit them as one stitch.
THE STITCHES BETWEEN A PARENTHESIS ( ).
(Knit 2 together, and knit 1 three times), are worked thus, knit 2 together, knit 1; knit 2 together, knit 1; knit 2 together, knit 1; this prevents useless repetition.
A MARK *.
When this mark (*) occurs in a row, the stitches before it are not to be repeated in the row, being merely the edge stitches to prevent the work from decreasing; thus when knit 3 together, is in a row, the row generally begins with knit 2 together and ends the same.
