ttonholes if these are used.
For the sleeve: Working on right side of sweater, pick up 1 stitch on
each rib around the armhole, 72 stitches in all; knit 8 ribs, then
decrease 1 stitch at each end of needle every 8th rib, eight times.
Change to steel needles and knit 12 ribs for the wrist; change to the
larger (No. 5) needles, * knit 4, narrow; repeat across, then knit 12
ribs, join the Angora, knit 7 ribs, and bind off.
Collar: Using No. 5 needles and the knitting-worsted, cast on 65
stitches; knit 28 ribs. Join the Angora wool, knit 11 rows, increasing 1
stitch at each end of needle every other row, and bind off. Working on
right side of collar pick up 1 stitch on each rib at the side, knit 11
rows, increasing 1 stitch every other row toward the corner and keeping
the neck edge even, and bind off. Make the other side of collar to
correspond and sew up the mitered corners. The border of Angora wool may
be as much wider as one chooses to make it by adding more rows or ribs.
Two large buttons covered with the knitting-worsted--either knitted or
crocheted--and furnished with a loop sewed on each side, are used to
fasten the belt.
For the buttons: Using a bone hook which will carry the yarn, make a
chain of 3 stitches, turn, and in 2d stitch of chain make 8 doubles; in
next round make 2 doubles in each stitch, working in both veins so there
will be no rib; then make 1 double in 1st stitch, 2 in next, and repeat.
Continue to work around and around until you have a circle which will
cover the button-mold--5 rounds in all were required for top of buttons
used on model, work around without widening, slip in the mold, then *
miss 1, a double in next, and repeat until the cover is closed. If
preferred, knit a tiny square as you did the body of the garment; and
use this to cover the mold, drawing it snugly over, and fastening
underneath. For the loop, make a chain of 30 stitches, turn and make a
double in each stitch; fasten securely beneath the button.
