Required gauge is given at beginning of instructions. If this gauge is nat obtained the finished garment will not be the correct size. The size needles recommended will give the average knitter the correct gauge. However, if you do not obtain the gauge required, change the size needles to conform to the tension of your individual knitting if your knitting is too loose use smaller size needles to tighten gauge; if your knitting is too tight, use larger size needles to loosen gauge. You MUST get gauge given to insure proper sizeof finished garment. INSTRUCTIONS WRITTEN IN MORE THAN ONE SIZE— Where changes for addtional sizes are given in parentheses or columns— ‘the (0) zero is used to indicate that no sts or in. are worked for that particular size. For example: —"k 2 (0.2), p 2, k 2” means that frst size would be k 2, p 2, k 2; second size would be 2, k 2; thitd size would bek2,p2,k2. MEASUREMENTS OF GARMENTS — The sizes of garments in this Book are based on the actual body measurements given below. In the instructions an allowance has been made over the actual body measurements to give sufficient ease and insure correct fit. This allowance varies according to the style of garment, site, type of yarn and gauge of Knitting. To determine which size ‘garment you should make, take your own accurate body measurements. Then use instructions for size with body measurements Nearest to your own body measurements. If adjustment is necessary be sure to allow the same number of inches over actual body measurements as allowed on garment you intend to make, See measurement chart below. |ACTUAL BODY MEASUREMENTS.

MARKERS — Make a small loop of contrasting color yarn and place on needle at point or points indicated in instruction. Slip loop from lft to right needle without knitting. BLOCKING OR STEAMING —To give 2 more tailored finish to knitted or crocheted garments it is preferable to block each Piece separately. Care should be taken to block pieces to knitted shape. Ifthe garment is sewn together first and blocked carefully after assembling, the result wil also be satisfactory. ‘TO BLOCK SEPARATE PIECES — Lay pieces flat on pressing board, wrong side up, pin edges to board, Steam well with moderately hot iron over a wet cloth taking care not to let weight of iron rest upon any one spot. After blocking leave pinned until thoroughly dry. Do not steam ribbing. ‘TO BLOCK FINISHED GARMENT — Lay flat on pressing board, wrong side out. Steam frst one side and when dry, steam other side. Atfer blocking leave pinned until thoroughly dry, then steam all seams and crocheted edges. Do not steam ribbing, TO BLOCK SKIRTS — Pin to board as above and block. When thoroughly dry, remove from board. Pin end block other half Steam out creases.
