BABY’S KNITTED BODY.
This body is part of knitting, which is let into cambric. No. 24, Boar’s-head cotton, Needles No. 17, Eagle knitting gauge. The front is made in the following manner:—set on seven stitches, knit two plain rows; then begin the pattern row; make one stitch, knit a stitch, bring the cotton forward, take off one without knitting, knit two, bring the unknitted one over the other two; knit the second row plain; the third row the same as the first; these two rows form the pattern. You must only make a stitch, and knit one, at the commencement of every pattern-row, this is to increase the front; the pattern is continued throughout; the row is, bring the cotton forward, take off one without knitting, knit two, bring the unknitted one over the two. When you have one or two stitches at the end of the row, they must be knitted plain; continue these two rows till you have done enough for the front of a baby’s body, then cast off very loosely.
The sleeves are knitted in the same way, only begin with nine stitches; then knit two plain rows; cast off when proper size.
