ABBREVIATIONS

Continental (Long-Tail) Cast-On

Leaving a long tail (about1

2" to 1" [1.3 to 2.5 cm] for eachstitch to be cast on), make a slipknot and place on rightneedle. Place thumb and index finger of left hand between

yarn ends so that working yarn is around index finger and

tail end is around thumb. Secure ends with your other fin-

gers and hold palm upwards, making a V of yarn (Figure 1).Bring needle up through loop on thumb (Figure 2), grab

first strand around index finger with needle, and go back

down through loop on thumb (Figure 3). Drop loop off

thumb and, placing thumb back in V configuration, tight-en resulting stitch on needle (Figure 4).

*Loop working yarn and place it on needle backward

so that it doesnt unwind. Repeat from *.

Knitting Gauge

To check gauge, cast on 30 to 40 stitch-es using recommended needle size.Work in pattern stitch until piece mea-sures at least 4" (10 cm) from cast-onedge. Remove swatch from needles orbind off loosely and lay swatch on flatsurface. Place a ruler over swatch andcount number of stitches across and

number of rows down (including frac-tions of stitches and rows) in 4" (10 cm).Repeat two or three times on differentareas of swatch to confirm measure-ments. If you have more stitches androws than called for in instructions,use larger needles; if you have fewer,use smaller needles. Repeat until gaugeis correct.

Wraps Per Inch

If you substitute or spin a yarn for a pro-ject, you can compare the weight of theyarn to the project yarn by comparingwraps per inch (listed in Sources forSupplies on page 118). To do this, wrapyour yarn around a ruler for one inchand count the number of wraps. If youhave more wraps per inch, your yarn is

too thin; fewer wraps per inch, youryarn is too thick.

Reading Charts

Unless otherwise indicated, read chartsfrom the bottom up. On right-side rows,read charts from right to left. On wrong-side rows, read charts from left to right.When knitting in the round, read chartsfrom right to left for all rows.

With waste yarn and crochet hook, make a

loose chain of about four stitches more than

you need to cast on. With needle, workingyarn, and beginning two stitches from end

of chain, pick up and knit one stitch through

the back loop of each crochet chain (Figure

1) for desired number of stitches. Work thepiece as desired, and when youre ready to

Cut several lengths of yarn about five times the desired

finished cord length. Fold the strands in half to formtwo equal groups. Anchor the strands at the fold by

looping them over a doorknob. Holding one group in

each hand, twist each group tightly in a clockwise direc-

tion until they begin to kink. Put both groups in onehand, then release them, allowing them to twist around

each other counterclockwise. Smooth out the twists so that they are uni-form along the length of the cord. Knot the ends.

With double-pointed needle, cast on desired number of

stitches. *Without turning the needle, slide the stitch-

es to other end of the needle, pull the yarn around the

back, and knit the stitches as usual; repeat from * fordesired length.
