the upper cotton, it is put under.
_To slip_, _take off_, or _pass a stitch_, is to change it from one
needle to another without knitting it.
_To take under_, means to pass the right hand needle through the
stitch on the left hand one, so as still to keep the same side of
the stitch towards you.
_Welts_ are the rounds of ribbed stitches done at the top of
stockings, to prevent their rolling up.
_Cast off_ means to end your work in the following manner: knit 2
stitches, pass the first over the second, and continue the same
until you have but one left, which is finished by passing your
cotton through it.
_To decrease_ is to lessen the number of stitches by knitting 2 taken
together.
_To increase_, or _make a double stitch_, is to knit one stitch in the
usual way, then, without slipping out the left hand needle, to pass
the thread forward and knit a second stitch, putting the needle
under the stitch. The thread must be put back when the stitch is
finished.
_Hang on_, means cast on.
_Bring the thread forward_, means to pass it between the needles
towards you.
_Cast over_ is a term I believe sometimes used by knitters, to
signify, bring the cotton forward. I have only used it to express,
bring the cotton over the needle, quite round.
_Round the needle_, means the same as the last term.
_Reversed_, means quite round the needle, the cotton being passed
_over_ the needle, and then carried back to its place.
_Together_, means knit 2 stitches in 1.
_Set_, or _Tuft_, the bunches of cotton used in making some of the
Fringes.
_To widen_ means to increase.
The netting meshes are numbered from the knitting needle gauge, as I am
not aware there is any other rule for them.
