EDITOR’S PREFACE.
Reading edition
The fact that this little work has kept its place for about fifty years, proves that it has answered a general want; and it is with pleasure that I offer the present edition, in a carefully revised form, to learners and workers of knitting.
The additional Scale of Measurements will be found a useful guide to anyone who may be working with finer wool and pins—and consequently with more stitches—than the directions give.
Pins No. 14, Chambers’ bell-gauge, and any wool about the thickness of Berlin fingering, are suitable for working these patterns.
