General Directions
Stitches should not be cast on too tightly.
Knitting should be done evenly and firmly and all holes should be avoided.
Joining should be done by splicing or by leaving two or three inches at each end of the yarn to be darned in carefully.
All knots, ridges or lumps should be most carefully avoided, especially in socks, as they are apt to blister the feet.
