TERMS USED IN KNITTING.


_Cast on_--Make a loop on 1 pin, and with the other pin knit a plain
   stitch without taking it off, pass it on to the left pin and repeat.

_Cast off_--Knit 2 stitches, pass the 1st stitch knitted over the 2nd,
   knit 1, turn the 2nd stitch over the last, and repeat to the end;
   then cut off the cotton and draw it through to fasten it.

The 1st stitch of every row should be slipped.

To make round after casting on 3 pins with the 4th pin, knit the 1st
   stitch cast on.

_In purling a row_, the wool should be in front of the pin. When there
   are purl and plain stitches in a row, bring the cotton forward to
   purl, and pass it back before knitting the plain stitch.

_To knit 3 together_--Slip a stitch, knit 2 together, turn the slipped
   stitch over them, leaving but 1 stitch.

_A slipped stitch_ should always be taken off the purl way.

_To purl_, is to put the pin the contrary way to knitting plain; in
   knitting, the pin is put up the stitch, in purling it is put down.

When this mark (*) occurs in a row, the stitches before it are not to be
   repeated in the row, being merely the edge stitches to prevent the
   work from decreasing; thus, when knit 3 together is in a row, the row
   generally begins with knit 2 together, and ends the same.

_The stitch over_ in many of the patterns, is always knitted as the 1st
   stitch, as many patterns end with make 1, it could not be done
   without this stitch.

Many ladies in working a pattern, copy on cards each row separately;
   this prevents confusing one row with another.

The stitches between the mark, thus (knit 2 together 3 times) are
   worked, knit 2 together, knit 2 together, knit 2 together; this
   prevents useless repetition.

The pins and meshes are all gauged by the standard or wire-drawer's
   gauge.

_To raise stitches_--Put the pin in the selvedge or side of the
   knitting, put the wool round the pin as in knitting, and bring it
   through, so as to form a stitch.

_To make a stitch_--Bring the wool forward between the needles.
