HOW TO KNIT KNICKERBOCKER
STOCKINGS
-----------------
GENERAL DIRECTIONS
The
difficulty in giving knitting directions arises from no
two people knitting alike. Some do so too loosely,
others too tightly. In good work the loops should just
run easily on the needles.
In order
to secure your stocking being the right size, it will be
well before you start it to test your knitting by
casting on 8 stitches and knitting 8 rows. If, with
Alloa yarn and No. 12 needles, the knitting measures
about a square inch, your stocking will work out medium
size. If, however, the square is much larger or smaller,
then alter the size of needles to suit your knitting,
taking bigger or smaller needles as required............ |
