CHILDREN'S STOCKINGS, PLAIN AND RIBBED.

With the 54 cylinder and fine yarn, beautiful children's stockings can be made with the leg knit ribbed, and the ankle and the foot plain. No work is so fine as ribbed work, yet children's stockings and leggings can be knit circular web by taking every other needle out either the 72 or 88 cylinder; knit around; follow the same principle as for large stockings and leggings.

                   BABY STOCKINGS.

    Baby stockings can be knit on the 100 cylinder by taking out every other needle and using fine yarn.

                      DOUBLE HEEL.

    To knit the double heel and toe, use coarse yarn and a slightly longer stitch; or add fine cotton to the knitting yarn.

                       SUSPENDERS.

    Knit flat web with the required width, or with Zephyr or Shetland yarns. Bind the ends and add the necessary button-hole strips at the ends.

MENDING BROKEN STITCHES.

    This is done with one of the needles of the machine, either in the machine or after the work is out. The needle is used as a crochet needle. You hook it in the dropped stitch and push it far enough through to bring the stitch, below the latch; then draw it back catching the next cross-thread above in the hook above the latch; continue to draw the needle back until a new stitch is formed; proceed in this way until all the dropped stitches are knit in. If the mending is done out of the machine, you will tie the dropped stitch with a short piece, of yarn and draw the ends inside the web.    When reversing the machine with the work on, always lift up at least 20 needles at the back and turn the machine until the raised needles are over the cam on back of the machine. After reversing, if you wish to continue to knit, the raised needles must all be put
