HUNTINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS rope rug (page 33) RAKE KNITTING And Its Special Adaptation to Invalid Workers SOME years ago the ladies of Hartford, Conn., learned to make bright, comfortable couch af- ghans on a wooden rake. This single, simple, coarse, and inexpensive tool could then be obtained in New York City. It was made in one size only. Later it became difficult, if not impossible, to secure these rakes. Recognizing a principle which might be readily ap- plied in providing invalids with suitable employment, this afghan stitch was learned and incorporated into the scheme of Invalid Occupation then taught at Adams Nervine Asylum, Jamaica Plain, Mass. It was not easy to obtain a rake, and the first one was rather a crude affair, made by sawing off twenty penny pencils and setting them into a bar of hard wood. This tool worked fairly well, but not as suc- cessfully as did the two following, which were made by the hospital engineer from 2 piece of dowel sawed to serve as pegs and set into a heavy bar. These two rakes still serve admirably. During a period of nine years many variations in these rakes have been found desirable. They have been made all the way from a model having as a base a stick of two by four timber, with pegs of dowel one inch in diameter, which is used for heavy rope, down 5 6 Rake Knitting to a rake as fine as a dog's comb, carrying fine silk. The standard size has twenty teeth set one-quarter of an inch apart, measuring from the outside of the peg. These teeth are either three-sixteenths or quarter-inch dowel, and should be one and one-half to two inches in height above the bar. These are best made by a good cabinet-maker, as great exactness is required. The pegs of the first rakes had a somewhat conical top, which was found to be less desirable than those hav- ing a blunt but carefully rounded top. All sorts of special sizes are made on order, as twenty-eight tooth, forty tooth, etc. The kind required is determined by the work to be done. For a demonstration lesson forty serviceable, if not elegant, rakes were made by an in- sane patient who used meat skewers as pegs. The pegs should always be set deeply and be strongly glued in, as the constant pulling upon them loosens them in time. In ordering it is necessary to specify the size de- sired. The special sizes vary in price according to style. A double rake is on sale in various department stores ; also one of circular form. Advantages of Rake Knitting over the Common Method with Knitting Needles 1. A Single Tool Instead of a set of five slippery, sharp-pointed, small needles, the rake is a single, large, blunt tool, the only one really necessary to the work. Advantages of Rake Knitting 7 2. It May be Used in Any Position Common knitting done by a patient on her back in bed requires a raising of the elbows at each stitch, which adds much to the fatigue of the process. Rake knitting requires little more than finger motion, so that a patient who is extensively paralyzed can carry on this form of knitting, provided the finger action is not greatly impaired. 3. It Has No Sharp Points The fact that the rake is a large, blunt, wooden tool makes it a safe one for the insane. Of course, it might be smashed by a violent patient, but otherwise little harm could result, and in case of damage the expense is not great. 4. A Large Tool Common knitting needles are constantly slipping away and getting lost among the bedclothes or under chairs. The patient would need to be well anaesthe- tized in order to lie on a wooden rake or to fail to locate it when it fell. 5. A Simple Method In choosing a form of occupation for the sick, it is wise to select one having a simple method capable of wide and varied application. The actual learning of the principle of rake knitting occupies but a short 8 Rake Knitting time, perhaps half an hour, while its elaboration and variations may lead on indefinitely. Because of this simplicity of method the work is peculiarly fitted to the teaching- of large groups of pupils. It is quite possible for one instructor to teach the principle to twenty or thirty persons in a single lesson period. Interest in the work is found to be quickly contagious and runs down a hospital ward from bed to bed, and fortunate is the institution which possesses rakes enough to supply the demand. 6. A Sedative Occupation Rake knitting is a to-and-fro process. Over and over the testimony of patients is given to the fact that it quiets them. They like to do a little before going to sleep. In this case a certain amount of monotony is an advantage. 7. It Is Adapted to Both Men and Women Some men like to knit with ordinary needles, but the number is few. Rake knitting done with rope or twine is well suited to the tastes of men and boys. 8. The Work Is Quickly Finished Compared with common knitting in point of speed, rake knitting is far in the lead. It is quite possible that a patient might feel discouraged before a sock was completed, but rake work gets ahead of her depres- sion and is done before discouragement has time to develop. Necessary Materials 9 9. It Allows Experiment Rarely does a month pass without some report from patient or nurse to the effect that a new idea has been developed in rake knitting. Practically all of the ex- amples given here are results of such reports. Necessary Materials Having secured the rake, it is well to provide a common orangewood stick or, better still, to buy a five- cent bone crochet hook, break off the hook, and file the end to a smooth point. This last process was discov- ered by a ward patient who broke her hook by acci- dent, but reached out and sharpened the end on the stone window ledge. Some knitters prefer to use only the fingers to' pull the thread over the pegs, but usually the stick is found to be a help. For afghans, heavy caps, hoods, and jackets, eight- fold Germantown wool is used ; for mufflers, light hoods, sweaters, etc., fourfold Germantown or Scotch wool is preferable. For hand bags a firm, hard-twisted cord is required, the best obtained thus far being known as "Anchor Cable." This is a linen twine which sells at from thirty-five to forty cents 1 per ball, and is carried in nine or ten different shades. If a cotton twine is used, the bag will have a tangled, mussy appearance. For eve- ning bags many like to use a silver or a gold tinsel cord. 1 Owing to the war these prices are subject to change. io Rake Knittin Sometimes good effects are obtained by using col- ored jute for heavy book bags. It is, however, far from easy to work with, as it is inelastic. For rope rugs a kind of cable called blocking is used. In one case tarred trawl-line was used, but it is hard on the hands. One teacher reports rag rugs made on the rake with some success. The Method In restricted positions the rake may be held in any way suited to the patient's convenience. In ordinary cases, when the patient sits or is bolstered up in bed, the best rule is to allow the rake to stand up against the left hand, with the teeth pointing to the right and the lower end of the bar resting on the lap. Consider the rake as a harp or keyboard on which both hands slide easily. Do not grasp the rake at all, but let the left thumb and fingers slide over and up and down the bar, while the right hand operates the stick and car- ries the thread. Double the end of the wool and tie a knot, leaving a loop a little longer than will just slip over a peg. If wool is used, this will be large enough; if hard twine or rope is chosen, the loop should be somewhat larger than seems necessary, as the thread in this case is in- elastic. Slip this loop over the first upper peg, holding the knot at the back. Wind down the rake from peg to peg, always keeping the thread which runs between The Method 1 1 the pegs on the back of the rake. Bring the thread around the peg thus: X t 2 e g Continue in this way the length of the rake. When at the end, after winding the last peg, bring the thread around the same peg again, and reverse the winding on the second peg, continuing to the top. There are now two rows of loops on the pegs, and the next step is the actual knitting. The stitches are kept in an even line about three- fourths of an inch from the end of the pegs. If they are pushed far down, a long pull will be required to get the loop over the top of the peg, and straggling, irregular loops will injure the appearance of the work. If too near to the ends of the pegs, the stitches will slip off, and it is very hard to replace them. To knit, wind the thread around the end peg again, making three loops ; hold the stick by clasping with the fingers of the right hand precisely as one should not hold a \2 Rake Knitting spoon or fork. With the left thumb slip the lowest of the three loops on the peg slightly downward, and insert the stick under this lower loop, always having the point of the stick towards the bar of the rake ; lift the loop straight upward a little, then pull it over the two upper loops and over the top of the peg. Wind the second peg by reversing just as done on the lower second peg, and knit again. Continue back and forth until the work is of the desired length. One question frequently asked is, "What is done when the pegs are all full?" This never happens. There are always two loops on the pegs, and a third is put on to knit. The finished work hangs off like a sock on the needles. Beginners are apt to use far too much energy and waste much strength. There should be no tugging or dragging of the thread over the pegs. The one motion required, apart from winding the peg, is a half turn of the wrist. This makes a good corrective exercise in cases of stiff arms or where there is impairment of the rotation of the forearm. The work is seen on the wrong side for some time until of sufficient length to show both sides. Always keep the straight connecting thread between the pegs on the back of the rake. Never allow it to come to the front. Always wind the end pegs twice, going down and again when coming up. Always keep the rake in the same position. Never turn it. Baby Carriage Afghan 13 BABY AFGHAN Baby Carriage Afghan Materials Needed : 1 Rake (large size for heavy wool). 1 Orangewood stick. 1 Pound white eightfold Germantown wool. 1 Half skein blue eightfold Germantown wool. 1 Bone crochet hook (large size). With white wool set up the entire length of rake (20 pegs) according to the preceding rules. Be sure 14 Rake Knitting to hold all wool very loosely, as it is spoiled by being stretched. Work back and forth 10 times. The best way to count the rows is by the straight threads be- tween the braid-like stripes. It is hard to distinguish stitches in the braid. Leave the white wool and tie a loop in the blue, setting up as if beginning work. Work 2 rows of blue, drop blue wool, take up the white, work 2 rows of white wool. Alternate these, working 2 rows of each color until there are five stripes of blue. Cut off blue wool, and fasten. Continue with the white until no rows of white have been knitted, then start the blue again and repeat the alternate stripe border and the 10 white rows. Take the work off the rake with a crochet hook, being careful not to draw up the work and so make one end tighter and shorter than the other. This is prevented by pulling the loop on the hook looser than seems necessary. This finishes one stripe of the afghan. Make two more like the first, and join them by putting the edges together, right side out ; with crochet hook pull wool through both edges and through the loop on the hook loosely. This makes a large, simple chain on the out- side which looks much like the braid of the rake work. A scalloped border crocheted all the way round or a fringe on the ends may be used as a finish. A lining of China silk adds to the beauty of the afghan. Block-Work Afghan — Alsatian Stripe 15 A Block-Work Afghan A block-work afghan is made by using two colors of eightfold Germantown, working with one color until a square is formed. Cut off the wool and join the second color, repeating the squares until long enough. The second stripe will be begun with the alternate color of the first one. The third stripe is made exactly like the first one. The average length of stripe for a baby's afghan is one yard. Join the three stripes, matching the blocks carefully, and crochet a scalloped border. The Alsatian Stripe One of the bravest and most appreciative of rake knitters was a bright-eyed, black-haired woman of Alsace-Lorraine. She lay paralyzed in the corner bed of a hospital ward, dying of cancer of the spine. Un- able to move her body, she could still use her fingers, and she hailed the rake knitter as a helper for hours of pain. Placing the rake horizontally across her chest, she turned out large numbers of well-made pieces. This woman derived much pleasure from working- out new ideas on her rake. One morning she said in queer English: "One day I feel pretty good, pretty good, and I say to him, 'You stripe, you go other way/ and I try him and — he go other way!" What she meant was this : She had been putting Roman stripes, transverse bands, across the ends of her mufflers, but 1 6 Rake Knitting the idea of carrying different colors along longitudin- ally had not been developed. To have one set of long braids of one color and then one of another shade — this was her problem. It was solved in this way : Use three separate balls of wool — two of gray and one of red. Set up 6 pegs of gray ; then leaving the gray wool hanging behind, set up 4 pegs of red ; leave this behind and set up 5 ALSATIAN STRIPE pegs of gray wool from the second ball. Wind back with the gray, but carry it over / red peg; drop it and wind with the red, carrying it over / gray peg; finish winding with the gray. To knit wind with gray, and knit winding the gray over 1 red peg and the red over 1 gray peg. This will make a stripe having five gray braids, one mixed herring-bone gray and red braid, two plain red, another mixed gray and red, and five more plain gray. The number of braids of any one color may be varied to suit the taste, but one mixed Mufflers ly stripe must always be allowed for wherever the colors join. This is a beautiful stripe, well suited to afghans, cap borders, mufflers, etc. And we are indebted to this woman in the Valley of the Shadow for its devel- opment. Mufflers Materials Needed : i Small standard rake for twine. This rake will have twenty pegs, and will make a muffler six and one-quarter inches wide. If one wider is desired, a twenty-eight peg rake may be used. 4 Skeins fourfold tan Germantown or Scotch wool. \ Skein each of seal brown and burnt orange wool. Set up all the pegs with tan wool, and knit four inches of plain tan. Join the seal brown at the edge and knit 4 rows; join the burnt orange and knit 2 rows. Knit 4 more of the seal brown and cut and fasten the border colors. Knit one yard of the plain tan and repeat the border. Cut wool into eight-inch lengths and knot in ends for fringe. Sometimes a crocheted chain is made very loosely and caught by a tight stitch to form a fringe of long loops. With coarse wool the cut fringe is more attractive. Soldiers' mufflers have been made by patients on the standard size rakes, and two joined together and sewed lengthwise. This works well, as the braid pat- tern makes the seam scarcely distinguishable. In wool i8 Rake Knitting mufflers great care must be taken to keep the wool very loose ; otherwise the muffler will roll lengthwise. Should this occur, it may be partly remedied by wring- MUFFLER AND OSTEND CAP {page 20) ing a sheet dry from cold water and spreading it on the carpet over night. Pin the muffler to the wet sheet, exactly as you wish it to lie; use many pins, and pin Hoods 19 through to the carpet. Leave just as it is until morn- ing, when the evaporation will have brought the work to better shape. Hoods One of the simplest pieces of rake work, and one enjoyed by little girls, is the hood. HOOD Materials Needed: 1 Standard wool rake. 4 Skeins eightfold Germantown wool. Set up all the pegs. Knit plain until you have a strip twenty-nine inches long. Crochet off. Fold the 20 Rake Knitting strip across in the center, and either sew overhand or crochet on right side, up one side, and fasten. Cro- chet scalloped border around the entire edge. Run a ribbon in around the neck, four or five inches from the bottom, leaving ends to tie. It is a good plan to run a double wool thread just above the forehead on the edge to draw it in slightly to fit the face. The point at the back may be pulled up like an Eskimo hood or it may lie smooth. It is some- times desirable also to knit a separate strip, setting up 9 or 10 pegs of a contrasting shade of wool, making enough in length to sew around the face of the hood and turn back like a Priscilla hood. Any little girl can make this hood. Ostend Cap Materials Needed: i Small standard rake. 6 Skeins red fourfold Germantown wool. J Skein black fourfold Germantown wool. 4 Black buttons I inch diameter. Set up all the pegs and knit one strip of red fifteen inches long. Crochet off. Knit two strips sixteen inches long, finishing each singly. Sew the last two together lengthwise halfway down. Sew the first strip across the end of the two sewed together, revers- ing the cross-strip so that when turned back it will come on right side. Crochet an edge of black single crochet all the way around the edge. Turn the front Skating Cap 21 strip back, and place two buttons on the ends of this strip. Draw up or plait the ends of the two loose strips, and place the other two buttons on these. Twist a cord of the black wool and make four loops, which cross from button to button in fastening. Cross the two strips at the back of the head, and fasten at sides. This model was suggested by a hospital patient and worked out by a bright young girl in the ward. It has been a popular style. SKATING CAP Skating Cap Materials Needed: i Standard wool rake. 3 Skeins navy blue eightfold Germantown wool. i Skein dark red eightfold Germantown wool. 22 Rake Knitting Set up all the pegs with blue wool and knit a plain strip twenty-one inches long. Crochet off. Fold across the center and crochet sides together, working on the right side of work and using single crochet stitch. A line of this crochet stitch may be carried across on the edge of the fold. Fasten. Set up 10 pegs with dark red wool. Knit a strip long enough to sew around the edge of cap so that it will turn up all around. Reverse in sewing so that border will come right side out. Join ends of border on side of cap. Pull down the two corners and fasten at top of border with buttons, pompons, or other orna- ment. If preferred, only one point may be pulled down and fastened with a long wool tassel. The other point is then tucked in under the crown. Polo Cap Materials Needed: i Large standard wool rake, i Ball gray eiderdown wool, i Ball red eiderdown wool. A graduate nurse writes from a case in a distant city: "I am making very good-looking caps in rake knitting. I use Columbia eiderdown wool." Knit 10 pegs for the first six times. *Knit 7 pegs only for the seventh and eighth rows. Knit 8 stitches for the ninth and tenth rows. Knit 7 stitches for the eleventh and twelfth rows. Knit 10 stitches for the thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, seven- Polo Cap 23 teenth, and eighteenth rows.* Repeat from * to * until one ball of wool is used. Sew ends and top together. Set up 9 pegs of red wool for border. Knit a straight band, which is sewed to edge of cap and turned up. POLO CAP A hospital patient has worked out these directions for the same sort of cap: (One row means here once up the rake and once down.) Knit 12 stitches; knit 10 stitches and turn for second row. Knit 12 stitches for third row, 8 stitches for fourth row, 9 for fifth, 8 for sixth, 12 for seventh, 10 for eighth, 12 for ninth. Repeat from eighth to twelfth until ball is used. Border of 7 or 9 pegs. 2 4 Rake Knitting Charming caps for dolls may be made after the preceding rules. doll's caps Spencer Materials Needed: 3 to 4 Skeins of eightfold Germantown or heavy Scotch wool, i Large standard wool rake. Set np all the pegs. Knit a strip reaching from collar to waistline in back. Crochet off. Knit a second strip the length of the underarm seam. Take off 4 stitches from one side, slipping them on a string tem- porarily. Continue knitting until you reach the outer tip of the shoulder, which will be about 15 rows. You have on your rake 16 stitches; these should now be reduced to 10, which is one-half of those on the back- piece. Beginning at the shoulder end, carefully slip the first two loops onto the second peg, making four on Spencer 25 this peg ; repeat this on the next two pegs, after which slip the first four up one peg. Proceed in this way until you have only 10 pegs in use. Knit off these double stitches by slipping the under two over the upper two. When across turn and knit back to the last peg; leave this without knitting, and return ; omit one on the shoulder end every alternate row until all are knit, and you have a triangular gore or yoke on the shoulder and 10 stitches on the rake. Slip off care- fully and crochet or sew to one-half of the end of the backpiece ; join underarm seam. Make the second front in same way, reversing the shoulder, and join to 26 Rake Kuitting back. Crochet an edge around or bind with ribbon. Snap fasteners close the front. BREAKFAST JACKET Breakfast Jacket Materials Needed: i Small standard rake. 10 Skeins blue fourfold Germantown wool or Shet- land floss. i Skein white fourfold Germantown wool. Sweater 27 Knit two mufflers (see Mufflers), using the white wool for borders and finishing ends with fringe. Knit a plain blue strip twelve inches long. Place mufflers over shoulders, bringing ends below waistline at back and front; insert the short strip in middle of back from waistline up. Sew this to both mufflers and draw together at waistline. Lace the mufflers with ribbon at underarm seams. Tie with ribbons in front. Finish with white crochet border. Sweater Materials Needed: 1 Forty-peg rake (small-size pegs). 5 Skeins five-ply Scotch wool. Back Set up all the pegs and knit until the strip measures the length from neck to desired length below waist- line. Crochet off. Front Set up all the pegs and knit until, measuring from the bottom, the under armsize is reached. Crochet off 12 pegs and continue the rest, knitting plain to the out- side shoulder tip. It will be about 40 rows. It is now necessary to reduce the number of stitches on front to one-half the number of back. To do this, working from the sleeve side of front, slip the first 2 stitches over onto the next peg. making 4 stitches on this peg. Repeat this with the next two pairs, moving the groups 28 Rake Knitting of 4 stitches up the rake as space is made. This proc- ess is repeated until there are 8 pegs having 4 stitches and 12 pegs having 2 stitches. Knit across, knitting the double stitches as if they were single. This is now ready to narrow to form shoulder line. Keeping the front straight, knit one less stitch each Sweater 29 row on the shoulder side. In other words, drop off one stitch each time at shoulder until all are off. Cro- chet off and sew to one-half of the upper end of back. Knit the second front in the same way, reversing the 12 underarm pegs which are dropped off. Sew up underarm and shoulder seams. Sleeve Set up all the pegs and knit plain for fifteen inches. Knit 1 plain stitch, slip next 2 stitches to next peg, and knit as one. Knit across plain except the last 3 pegs ; slip 2 stitches to next peg and knit as one ; knit last stitch plain. Repeat this last row for 3 rows only, which makes a slight tapering. Knit 12 times across plain. The model has these stitches transferred at this point to common knitting needles, and a two-inch wristlet made by knitting and seaming two stitches alternately. Bind off and sew up the sleeve. Sew it into sweater, placing the seam about halfway between the shoulder and underarm seam at the back. Set up 6 pegs and knit a plain band of the same or of contrasting color, to be sewed flat upon the edge of the sweater, thus making a double edge and prevent- ing curling, as well as strengthening the border. The sleeve may seem a little smaller than the armsize at first, but if stretched it will fit and soon shape itself when worn. This sweater is very attractive made from heather-mixture Scotch yarn. 3o Rake Knitting Twine Bags For a long time the only use made of the rake knit- ter was for wool. The experiment was tried of using some stiff green twine which chanced to be on hand. This resulted in a rather satisfactory twine mesh which at once suggested a bag. These bags have since been made in great numbers from the An- chor Cable described on page 9. The handling of twine varies some- what from that of the wool. It should be held ^ImmI ' ?v'v^P?ivT*^i? a'JsB iPf> : TWINE BAG tighter, although it is quite possible to hold it too tightly. The small- size rake is used for these bags, usually the twenty-peg, although many persons like the twenty-eight- peg rake, which, of course, makes a wider bag. TWINE BAb Square Cord for Bags . 31 Hand Bag A neat hand bag is made by knitting a plain strip eleven and one-half inches long. Crochet off, being careful not to draw in the end tightly. Double and crochet up the sides on the right side of the bag, using a single crochet stitch. Crochet a close, single crochet around the top, then 1 row of double crochet, missing every alternate stitch. In this the draw cord runs. A favorite edge is 2 rows of loose chain caught down tightly every 3 stitches. Every cut end of Anchor Cable must be sewed down tightly, as it is very slippery. One ball makes three bags of this size. Two separate draw cords are made, each one being seventeen and one-half inches long. Tinsel bags of silver or gold are popular for eve- ning bags, and are brilliant when lined with silk. In lining rake bags be sure to take the measure with the bag stretched to its greatest width ; otherwise the in- elastic lining will prevent the bag from stretching. Square Cord for Bags A hospital patient brought a curious little frame on which she made cords for eyeglasses and watches. The trick was learned from a sailor in the Azores. A slip noose is first tied, leaving the end some three inches or more long; slip this over one side of the frame A, and holding the knot in the center B, carry the thread around the end C, turning the frame in the 32 Rake Knitting left hand. The left thumb and finger should hold the thread at B all the time. With the right thumb and forefinger draw the lower left-hand thread straight out to the left, then over the top, slipping it over the FRAME FOR MAKING CORD upper thread ; then, holding the cord firmly, draw the long thread until the loop comes to the cord in the cen- ter. Always turn the frame in the same direction, twice round the first time and then once each time. If the cord does not draw up easily, you may be sure that the frame has been turned the wrong way, and you Rope Rugs 33 must begin again. Do not hold the cord too tightly. This results in a kinked cord. It is noted that very weak patients make the best cord. This 'is often true of rake work as well. JUTE BAG Rope Rugs The development of porch rugs made on a large rake is due to a patient who is unparalleled as an ex- ample of fortitude and industry. A man of middle age, of fine manner and full of ambition, he has been the subject of a most terrible and destructive malig- nant disease. With no eyes remaining and suffering beyond all description, this bravest of men works in his corner bed in a hospital ward, turning out fine, 34 Rake Knitting strong rugs which sell at five dollars each. These are made of blocking (see frontispiece), laced into a frame of galvanized iron rod. They are well-nigh indestructi- ble. There need be no more powerful argument for invalid occupation than the testimony of this man, given in two significant words, " It helps."
