SEED STITCH: On the first row * K 1, P 1, repeat from * to end of row. On all subsequent rows, K over the P st and P over the K st.
RIBBING: On the first row work in the ribbing pattern given. On all other rows, K over the K sts and P over the P sts.
TO SLIP A STITCH: Whenever the directions specify a sl st, always insert the right hand needle in the st to be slipped as if to P, unless otherwise indicated.
MARKERS: When work specifies the use of a marker, use a small round paper clip for this purpose. In working, always slip this marker from one needle to the other.
JOINING YARN: If possible always join a new ball of yarn at the beginning of a row. When it is necessary to join the yarn while working across a row, leave an end about 4 inches long; then work from the new ball of yarn on the next st, also leaving a 4 inch end. After working for 1 inch more, tie these two ends in a square knot, so that the tension will be the same as all other sts. When finishing work, run in these ends on wrong side for 1 inch.
SELECTION OF COLOR: Every woman has her own personal preferences in colors, based on the colors which are most flattering to her and will harmonize with the rest of her wardrobe. For this reason we have not specified any particular color for any model, other than for those models where a combination of colors has been used. Even in these models, let your own individuality express itself by choosing other color combinations if you wish.
