itches all round. Knit 3 rounds.
Repeat these 4 rounds.
_Double Eyelet Knitting._
Four needles are required.
Cast on any number of stitches that will divide by 7. Begin with the
thread forward, knit 1 stitch, decrease by taking 2 stitches together,
knit 1 stitch, decrease 1 stitch, increase 1 stitch, repeat these 7
stitches all round, and knit 2 rounds plain. Repeat these 3 rounds.
_Gouty Shoes._
For the sole cast on 10 stitches and knit 3 rows. Knit on, increasing 1
stitch near the middle of every alternate row until you have 20
stitches. Increase every 4th row, until you have 24 stitches. Knit 12
rows. Increase twice, 1 stitch in every 5th row. Knit 8 rows. Decrease 4
times in every 4th row. Decrease 8 times, 1 stitch in every 2nd row;
twice, 1 in every 4th row. Knit 4 plain rows. Increase 9 times, 1 stitch
in every 4th row. Decrease 4 times, 1 stitch in every 4th row. Decrease
3 times, 2 stitches in every 2nd row. Decrease 2 stitches in every row
until only 5 stitches are left, which are to be cast off.
This is to be knitted with very coarse cotton, wound double, and needles
No. 16.
For the upper part cast on 11 stitches, with needles No. 8, and coarse
lambsaEuro(TM)-wool; increase 2 stitches in every row until you have 25
stitches. Increase 2 stitches in every other row until you have 31, then
2 stitches in every 3rd row until you have 37. Knit 2 rows plain. Knit
12 stitches backwards and forwards until long enough for the quarter.
Cast off 13 stitches and knit the remaining 12 backwards and forwards,
to correspond with the other side. Sew up the back and fasten in the
sole on the wrong side.
_To increase and decrease in Double Knitting._
In double knitting you cannot very well increase oftener than every 3
rows, as you do not complete the increase in less than 3 rows. In the
1st row knit 1 stitch behind wherever you wish to increase; in the 2nd
row do the same to the stitch adjoining, and in the 3rd row when you
come to the increase, knit 1 stitch, and pass the next upon another
needle, bring the thread forward slip a stitch and replace the one from
the 3rd needle, knit it, and continue the row. You will perceive that
you cannot increase less than two stitches at once.
Decreasing in double knitting can be done in 2 rows. In the 1st row knit
2 _knitting_ stitches together passing the farther one over the
intervening stitch, bring the thread forward and slip 2 stitches
(instead of 1)
