Children's Knitted Set No. 2(from
Handbook of Wool Knitting and Crochet, 1918)
(Explanation of
terms and stitches used)
Hood/Hat and Jacket/Sweater
Set No. 2
Jacket.—Cast on 52 stitches and knit 60 rows or 30 ribs;
cast on 26 stitches for sleeve, knit back and cast on 26
stitches for the other sleeve. Knit 34 rows, then knit 43
stitches, bind off 18 stitches for the neck, knit remaining 43
stitches, and on these continue with the front. Knit 6 rows,
then continue knitting back and forth, adding a stitch at
the end of each row toward the front for 22 rows, which will
give 11 extra stitches; knit 6 rows without widening, then
bind off 26 stitches, and knit remainder of front to correspond
with the back.
Knit the other front in same way, sew up sleeves and
underarm seams, work around the neck with double crochet,
in color, 1 chain between, and around the body of the
jacket with shells of three trebles in a stitch, miss space of
two ribs; repeat. With the gray make 2 trebles, picot of 3
chain caught in last treble and 1 treble around neck, and
between 1st and 2d trebles of shells around body of jacket.
Finish edge of sleeves in the same way, and run in cord and
balls.
For the Hood.—Cast on 64 stitches, knit 28 ribs, then 2
ribs of color and 2 of gray; bind off, sew up the back of hood
where cast on, finish around the neck with double crochet,
space of 2 chain between, using color, work the shells around
front of hood, and finish with the shells of gray, as for
jacket. Run in the cord, with balls of the two colors of
yarn.
The cords may be done in plain crochet, the ordinary
chain or, as preferred because stronger, knotted by what is
called the "fool's delight" method, although why named
thus it is impossible to say. Surely it seems a very sensible
way: Take a length of yarn six times as long as the cord is
wanted; make a slip or half knot at one end and pass the
other end down through it to form a loop, then tie the ends
of yarn together. Hold this knot between thumb and forefinger
of one hand, say the right, with the yarn which pulls
through the knot under the same hand, and the loop which
was formed held on the forefinger; hold the yarn which does
not pull in the left hand, pass the forefinger of the left hand
through the loop on right forefinger from front to back,
catch up and pull through the non-pulling or left-hand
thread—exactly as you would make a chain-stitch in crochet—transfer
the knot (which ties the two ends together)
to the thumb and forefinger of left hand, keeping the loop
over forefinger, and draw up the pulling yarn. Now the
position of the loop, pulling yarn and knot is exactly the
same in the left hand as formerly in the right. Continue
by passing the forefinger of right hand through the loop,
catching up the non-pulling thread and drawing it through
to form the new loop (on right hand again), transfer the
knot and pull up. This is really a sort of double chain, and
when one has learned to make it evenly and well, it will be
found superior for bags, lingerie, and many other articles
requiring a drawstring or cord.
