On the Choice of a Yarn
book comes of two things

THE beauty of the
hand work, and a
articles in this
fine yarn. A hand worker, with proper

materials, will give her work a delicacy, a fineness of finish,
a character that no machine-made work ever possesses. But she
must look to her yarns to do it. She must find a lofty, elastic, even
thread, soft and thin to the touch, made of a wool sensitive to the
slightest gradation of shade and color. The Columbia Yarns

were used making all the articles in this book, and they meet the
in
requirements. With them work in yarns becomes an art, and good

results are easier and surer.
Stamped by public opinion as the best among yarns recognized
as good, Columbia Yarns cost in the beginning a trifle more than
some others— otherwise they could not be what they are. In the
end they are the cheapest of all. For the cheapness of a yarn is
determined not alone by what you pay for a hank of it, but also by
what the hank will do in quality, and quantity of work. The coarse,
unelastic thread of a common yarn will not reach as far as a yarn of
a finer texture, Yarns contain, pound
and besides, the Columbia
for pound, more yards than common grades. In the finished piece
of knitting Columbia Yarns mean not only quality but economy.
The brilliancy and shading in Columbia Yarns is unsurpassed.
There are no flat, crude, dead colors among them, partly because
of the way they are dyed, and partly because of the quality of their
thread. A fine wool receives a color and retains the brilliancy of
it, where an inferior wool dyes into a lifeless, displeasing shade.
Blacks in Columbia Yarns are guaranteed fast.

In preparing for your work, therefore, you should get Columbia
Yarns. They are standard, even in quality, and when you get to
using them you find they demand less of your patience because they
do not vary from package to package. They are sold by the best
retail stores throughout the country, with but few exceptions.
Should your dealer not handle them, write to us and we will refer
you to the nearest store that handles the complete assortment.

DIRECTIONS FOR WASHING KNIT GARMENTS

TO AVOID SHRINKING
1. .Make warm Soap Suds (not much soap). Proper heat for the suds is just
uncomfortably hot for the hands, but so as not to scald.

3. L'se pure soap only ; no chemicals or washing powders.
4. Do not rub soap on the garment. Put the garment through the wringer and
back in the suds 3 or 4 times. Rinse out in clear water, rvry llioroiigltly.
5. Wash carefully, rubbing as little as possible, and iici'cr on a ^casliboard.

6. Let the Suds and IFriiigcr do the tivr/,-.
7. Stretch the garments lengthwise and dry quickly in the oi)en air.

made by 3 chain at beginning. 8 increases with 2 holes between.

—
Third Round. Chain 3 as usual, i treble in next hole, i chain, i treble in same
hole,* I chain, i treble in next, and repeat from* until you have worked i treble into
the next increase in previous round make i chain, i treble into same hole, and repeat
;
from 1st* in 3d round to end of round. There will be 3 holes between increases.
Work every round on the same principle as you have worked the 3d, getting an extra
hole between increases in each succeeding round. Thus, in the 4th round, there will
be 4 holes between increases, in the 5th, 5 holes betweeen increases, and so on. When
15 or 21 rounds are done, according to the depth desired, begin the border.
—
Note The idea is that the centre of the shawl forms a sort of a yoke to come nicely to the
edge of the shoulders, and with this end in view it is often worked a little closer than the lighter
border, even if the same needle is used throughout. Taste will dictate style, and both centre and
border can be made of any depth wished, as will be seen from the instructions.
BORDER.— First Round — Make 2 double crochet under chain in every space.
Second Round —3 chain, i treble, i chain, 2 treble, all under top loops of ist
stitch* miss i stitch, then 2 treble, i chain, 2 treble, all under the loops of next stitch,
repeat from* to end of round; join last shell to first.
—
Third Round Slip stitch under the top loop of the next treble into the hole in
middle of ist shell in previous round, then 3 chain, treble, i chain, 2 treble, all into
i
hole in ist shell (this ist shell is the one you have just slip stitched into the middle
of,)* 2 treble, i chain, 2 treble, all into the middle of next shell, and repeat from* to
end of round; join as before; slip stitch to middle of ist shell.
—
Fourth Round 3 chain, 2 treble, i chain, 3 treble, in hole in ist shell.* 3 treble,
I chain, 3 treble in hole in next shell, repeat froin* to end, join as before, and slip
stitch to middle of ist shell. Repeat the 4th round continuously, watching the work
as you go on, to see that it does not draw in at all. If at any time, it seems to
need widening, e'ther use a larger hook and work more loosely, or lay the work on the
table, and mark 8 soaces in the round as nearly as possible above the increases in the
centre portion, and at each of these spaces when working the next round, put an in-
crease by working 2 treble, i chain. 2 treble, i chain. 2 treble, all into the i shell.
This gives spaces for 2 shells in next round. When the shawl is deep enough, which
it probably will be in from 12 to 18 rounds, the final round is a scallop. It can be
widened oftener than the 8 spaces if needed. See note.
—
Scallop Round. *Double crochet between the shell just worked and the next, g
treble in middle of next shell, and repeat from* all around.
XoTE — If 9 treble are not enough, or you wish any more fanciful scallop, it is easy to alter the
one given. The main thing is to keep the work pretty. It must be well rounded and not drawn in
the least at the edge, and is better a little full than otherwise. Increasings can be made without
counting so long as proper effect is obtained, as often as required. Many workers prefer to do all
shaping by changing to larger hooks as the work progresses. But care will enable any one to get a
good result.

INSTRUCTIONS
LINING. — Make a chain of 30 stitches
and turn.
First Row — Skip 6 stitches in the chain,
I long D C in each of the next 24 stitches.
Continue by making 7 more rows Hke
the one just described, and break the thread.
Begin at the side at the top of 2d row,
make a chain stitch, and i long C in D
the seam stitch, then 3 over the side of every
D C until the 8th row is reached, then 5
in the corner in every D C underneath, then
5 in the opposite corner then work down the
;
other side to the top of the 2d row of C.

/
D
Begin at the bottom of the lining and
work 4 rows back and forth to form front -
and sides. This completes the lining.

—
OLITSIDE. Begin at the bottom and make a chain about 14 inches in length.
To get the puff effect make the puffs thus :
3 D
C in the 5th stitch (or the 6th stitch counting the one on the hook), 2
chain, i S C in the next stitch, skip 3 stitches, making a puff in the next stitch, and
repeat until there are 20 puffs.
Next row make i Sg. C in the top of the stitch just before the chain, 2 D C over
the 2 chain, and repeat across the row.
In the next row make the puffs in the single crochet.
Make 2 more rows, then in the 3d row of puffs (after making 6 puffs) widen
by making an extra puff just after the one in the Sg. C. ^lake 8 puffs, then widen as
before.
In the 5th row of puffs widen in the same way, then work plain puffs and inter-
mediate rows until there are 12 rows of puffs, and end with the plain rows, then break
the wool. Skip 9 puffs from the edge, holding the right side towards you, and make 6
puffs, which will leave 9 at the other side; work back and forth on the 6 puffs until
you have 11 rows of puffs.
Crochet each edge of the central portion to the adjoining edge of side portion,
thus forming top of Hood.
—
CAPE. Begin at the bottom of Hood and make 20 puffs across. In the next row
of puffs widen in the centre and at the end next row widen at the beginning and end,
;
next row widen in the centre only, and in the last row make plain puffs without widen-
ing. Always widen in the puff rows, and be sure to make all the puffs on the same side.
To finish off the front of Hood make small scallops, 2 chain, 3 D C rather loose,
and further down add a Sg. C (far enough from the starting point of scallop). This
will cause the scallops to lay flat.
To finish the cape make
the scallops 2 D
C, 3 chain, i slip stitch in the top of the
last DC to form a purl, 2 D
C, i purl, 2 C, i purl, i D D

the loop on each side ; 4 rows of D C on this and fasten oflf. With 6 strands of the
Filoselle, embroider the fronts. Bring up the rug needle in the bottom of the 3d loop
in the 4th little row ;
put the needle in at the top of the loop to the right, bring it out
at the top of the loop to the left, then insert it again where you first brought it up. Work
in this way on every 5th stitch pass 2 rows, work another row on the 3d row
;
just be-
tween the 2 last little leaves, and so on over the whole.
The fronts should be made up by a tailor to fit the person for whom the vest is
intended. This we advise the more strongly as the work in making them up is very
considerable.

Having drawn the shape of the vest on the canvas, work willi wool as follows
Beginning at the right hand corner, work a long, upright stitch covering six threads of
the canvas. In succession v/ork four more similar stitches, each stitch being begun one
thread higher from the bottom, and extending one thread higher at the top. After this
5th stitch reverse the next four stitches, by beginning each of them one thread lower on
the canvas, each stitch covering six threads as before. From this point it will always
be found that the fourth stitch makes the point of the Vandyke upwards and downwards.
Each row of wool Vandykes is separated by a narrow vandykc in Filoselle, for
which you leave two threads of canvas between the wool Vandykes. Work the Filoselle
in these spaces after the wool is completed, as it looks fresher and brighter if put in
last.

This well known stitch is one of the best for men's vest, and the snnplest method
is to work a straight piece of tricot of the required length and width. This should be
afterwards cut and shaped by a tailor, who makes the proi'cr incisions for the pockets.
^lake a chain of 63 (more or less according to the width required, but this is a
good average number). Proceed to work in tricot two pieces the required size. When
these are finished work in Filoselle, with enil)roidery needle, a twisted stitch over the
upright bars, passing the needle in a slanting direction from right to left luuler each bar.
N. Pi. — An experienced worker may jirefer to cut out a vest pattern of the
required size in thick brown paper, .and >hape her work to it by increasing and decreasing
in the ordinary way. This will take rather less wool,

Follow with 70 rounds of plain knitting for the hand.
In the 3d round of the 70 begin to widen for the thumb gore. To begin, widen
at both sides of the first 2 stitches, and then 5 times thereafter, with intervals of 2
rounds in a line above the previous widenings. For the widenings, having knitted the
first2 stitches mentioned, knit a stitch crossed out of the succeeding horizontal mesh.
(For cross knitting insert the needle downward at the back instead of upward at the
front.) Purl the following stitch, then having knitted the round, purl the stitch that
precedes the 2 named and knit i crossed out of the horizontal mesh succeeding it at ;
each successive round the number of stitches between the widenings will naturally be
increased. After the last widening round (the i8th round) knit 2 more rounds, then
take the stitches of the thumb gore on separate needles and knit 24 rounds for the
thumb, in the last 4 of which point it.
Then continue the hand.

In the 1st round out of the mesh connecting the thumb stitches, knit 2 stitches
crossed. In the following round, knit 2 stitches together on both sides of these 2
stitches, and in the succeeding round, knit each one of these stitches together with the
one beside it, thus forming a gusset.

Cast on 35 stitches, knit back and forth for each row and make 6 rows, widening
at the back by i stitch, and widening at the front by 2 stitches in every row, so that in
the row there will be 41 stitches. In widening see that no openings will result.
Two methods may be used. The first is as follows :
Put the needle through a stitch in the ordinary manner, throw the thread around
it twice, and then knit the stitch ofif in the regular way, but keep the 2 "thrown-over"
threads on the needle to make the 2 new stitches required. In knitting the 2 new
stitches knit the ist in the regular way, and the 2d through the back.
The other method is to knit through the front stitch in the usual way, but do not
slip it off the needle.
Now knit through the back of the same stitch and slip it off. The plain knitting
first made comes under the sole of the foot.
To make the upper part of foot after the 6 rows plain are made : Begin the
/th as follows : Knit 2, purl 2, knit 2. purl 2, and repeat across the row until there are
22 blocks, widening by 2 stitches at the front edge or toe of the sock, turn.
Eighth Row — Purl 4, knit 2, purl 2, knit 2. Repeat across the row. These 2
rows of knitting form one complete row of blocks.

Tenth Row—*Knit 4, purl 2, knit 2 and repeat from * to end of row. This com-
pletes the 2d row of blocks.
Now make 3 more rows of blocks widening in the same order as before. Then
4 rows more without widening, by i stitch at the front edge.
To make the instep and toe pass 36 stitches, begin at the back on another needle,
then make 9 rows of blocks, widening at the toe edge in every row, by 2 stitches.
Regulate the widening —the basket effect of blocks will not be disturbed. This forms
one-half the foot. Knit the other half of the toe and instep 8 rows more to correspond
with the first half, narrowing instead of widening at the last row. Cast on 36 stitches
and make the remainder of the foot to correspond with the other side. Double the
foot together and join it at the back and along the sole, sewing the toe point in the
angle under it.
Now pick up all the stitches around the top of the foot portion that are already
on the needle, and then knit back and forth 6 times, making 3 rows and bind off.
For the top cast on 79 stitches, purl once across and knit back plain.

Fourth Row — Knit i, throw over, knit 3. throw over, knit i, throw over, knit 3,
and repeat across the row.

Repeat 3d and 4th rows until the top is 21 holes deep, and make last row like
the 4th.
Now across 4 ribs at each side, knit plain, and between the plain sections work
the same as 3d row to show the ribs. Knit plain again at each side, working between
the same as in the 4th row.
Fifth Row — Purl 2, throw over twice, purl 2 together, and repeat to end of the
plain section. Make open-work between.
Sixth Row — Knit plain at sides, dropping every 2d put-over thread. Make
open-work between next 2 ribs, knit plain, also knit plain across the next row of
open-work and the next rib at each side. This will leave 4 rows of open-work and ribs
at the centre of the needle.
Now bind off 30 stitches, then knit across in open-work style until there are 30
stitches left on the needle. Join the yarn and knit the remainder of the instep in open-
work, so that there will be 32 holes from the top of the sock to the lower edge of the
instep. Bind off.
Now sew together at the back and join the lower edge to front portion on the in-
side where the plain knitting around the top begins. Run a cord and tassel through
the plain portion at the instep.

These are made in 2 sections, joined by a middle seam.
Begin by knitting each section as follows : Cast on 80 stitches for the top, knit 2,
purl 2 and repeat across the needle. Knit in this way 4 times across, being careful to
preserve the regular order of stitches in the ribs. The 5th time across knit 2, purl 2,
knit I, throw over twice, narrow, purl i, knit 2, purl 2, knit i and repeat across the row.
In working back work in the regular order, except that you drop one throw-over thread
to form the holes for the cord. Now knit across 8 times the same as the ist 4 times
above. Now knit 8 stitches. Then knit back on the 8 stitches, knit 16 stitches, knit
back; knit 24 stitches, knit back; knit 32 stitches, knit back; knit 40 stitches, knit

you have knit once entirely across, and they are made to lengthen the back portion
of this section. Now knit back and forth entirely across until there are 43 ridges at
the front edge of the section. Next knit 15 ridges, narrowing once to the beginning
every time across. There should be 50 stitches on the needle. To make the fancy por-
tion knit 2, purl 2, and repeat until you have 19 rows. To make the braid and re-

Cast 114 stitches on 4 needles, and work with the 5th needle as follows: Knit in
rib style for 47 rounds, by purling 2 and knitting 2.

In the 48th round begin the gore, which covers the knee. Knit off the ist 26
stitches,and knit them separately back and forth, purling 2 and knitting 2.
After knitting 2 rows in this manner, change the pattern by knitting the stitches
that were purled and purling the ones that were knit, thus forming a small square.
In knitting this gore, one stitch is taken from the needle at each side of the 26
stitches each time across after the ist row. This widens the gore, then it is knit as
described above.
Continue taking stitch from the needles until there are only 42 left of the original
ribbed portion. This brings the gore to the points at the side and completes the upper
half of the knee cap.
Now work the lower half of the gore separately, narrowing i at the end of each
row until only 26 stitches are left. Now take up 23 stitches at each side of these 26
stitches along the selvedge of the gore. This will bring you to the side of the gore.
Then divide the stitches as evenly as possible on the 4 needles and work in
rib style the same as top, 47 rounds, being careful to continue the ribs of the upper
portion.
Finish the knee cap with a border of plain crochet.
