CHILDREN'S MITTS.
Children's mitts of various sizes can be knit either circular or flat
web by knitting seamed
wrist; then knit straight, solid web long
enough for hand.; Turn inside out and with a sewing machine run a seam around the thumb
and hand as indicated by the shaded lines in Figure 8. Cut away the cloth a from the thumb
and hand close to the seam, turn right side out and you have a very nice mitt.
FANCY STITCHES.
TIDY STITCHES.-Set up flat web of required width; knit once across, change the stitch from the second needle to the third, the fourth to the fifth, and so on across; moving to the left knit across forming loops on the empty needles, knit back again forming stitches with these loops; put the stitch from the second needle over the first that of the fourth over the third, moving the stitches to the right, knit across and back as before, change the stitches to the left and continue.
CHEVRON STITCH.-Set up flat web on every needle for the desired width; knit once across, put the stitch from the alternate needle upon the next needle to the right,knit once across and change the loops one needle to the right; work thus twelve times across, and change the loops to the left twelve times, knitting across each time as before. For wider work, knit more than twelve times across, before changing, for narrower, less. This makes a suitable trimming for children's garments, etc.
LATTICE STITCH.-Commence as before by taking the stitch from every other needle and putting them over the next to the left, knit once across forming loops, move the loops to the next needle to the right, knit across, and carry the loops to the left, knit across and carry the loops to the right, and so on to the length desired.
RIBBED STITCH.-Set up and knit once across, change the stitches on every third needle one place to the left, knit across, carry each loop both to the right and left, over two needles, knit across, take the loop formed on the same idle needles and carry them both right and left as before, continue thus.
