BAR AND DIAMOND STITCH.-Set up, knit across, change every alternate stitch to the left, knit across, forming loops, and back forming stitches on the empty needles; change the stitches formed with the loops to the right. Knit twice across as before and change to the
left and so continue. When knitting fancy stitches the tension should be loose.Chevron Bar and Diamond stitch are suitable for scarfs.
To KNIT CORD.-Take out of the machine all but four needles. Set up and attach the heel hook and the light weight. Knit across, pull the needles up as high as they will go; place the thread inside the needles and run back; put the needles down so they will knit, and knit across as before; then run back again and so continue knitting one way and running back with the needles up and the yarn inside the needles.A great variety of work can be done on the machine such as leggings, hoods, wristlets, suspenders, limited only by the taste and ingenuity of the operator. Any one with ordinary intelligence, can, by reading the instructions and having a machine before them learn to knit.
Every machine is put in good working order when it leaves the factory, and we think cannot fail to give satisfaction. The machine will run smoother and do better work after it is run awhile. After you get some practice you will be able to knit much better and faster than at first.
