H. HORSTMANN COMPANY PHILADELPHIA ©CI.A433609 The Columbia Book of Yams NEW EDITION NEW IDEAS NEW STYLES ONCE upon a time, in the days when Fashions changed slowly, the fashions in Knitting and Crocheting scarcely changed at all. It's different today! Hand knit garments are appreciated more than ever, but they must reflect the mode of the moment. Milady loves her cozy wools so well that she must knit them up into articles as novel and fashionable as her best silk gown. Thus it is that each new edition of the Columbia Book of Yams is eagerly welcomed for its wealth of new ideas. It is the authority on knitting and Crocheting, and this season you will find it more interesting than ever, showing many new articles and new stitches. Yet the Columbia Book of Yarns is not entirely a hand- book for the experienced knitter. It is also A Practical Patient Teacher for the Beginner It has taught hundreds of women every step of the way, from the first stitch to finished and beautiful garments, and it is just as ready to teach you. Glance over the simple direc- tions and the clear illustrations, do they not inspire you to begin pleasent lessons in this practical and useful art? THE FIRST LESSON and the one which no knitter should forget, is : Use Columbia Yarns! Beginner or expert, no one should waste time on yarns less lovely and less durable. Even poor knitting can- not disguise the beauty of Columbia Yams. They are made of the best long-fibered wool,— soft, elastic, "lofty," as the wool men say, dyed to perfect color-tones. They knit farther and fuller than others. Their use means the utmost economy and satisfaction. Anything that is worth knitting is worth making from Columbia Yarns. On the Choice of Yarn THE beauty of the articles in this book comes of two things— hand work, and a fine yarn. A hand worker, with proper materials, will give her work a delicacy, a fineness of finish, a character that no machine-made work ever possesses. But she must look to her yams to do it. She must find a lofty, elastic, even thread, soft and thin to the touch made of a wool sensitive to the slightest gradation of shade and color. The COLUMBIA YARNS were used in making all the articles in this book, and they meet the requirements. With them work in yarns be- comes an art, and good results are easier and surer. Stamped by public opinion as the best among yams recognized as good, COLUMBIA YARNS cost in the beginning a trifle more than some others —otherwise they could not be what they are. In the end they are the cheapest of all. For the cheapness of a yarn is determined not alone by what you pay for a hank of it, but also by what the hank will do in quality, and quantity of work. The coarse, unelastic thread of a common yarn will not reach as far as a yarn of a finer texture, and besides, the COLUMBIA YARNS contain, pound for pound, more yards than common grades. In the finished piece of knitting or crocheting COLUMBIA YARNS mean not only quality but economy. The brilliancy and shading in COLUMBIA YARNS is unsurpassed. There are no flat, cmde, dead colors among them, partly because of the way they are dyed, and partly because of the quality of their thread. A fine wool receives a color and retains the brilliancy of it, where an inferior wool dyes into a lifeless, displeasing shade. BLACKS in COLUMBIA YARNS are guaranteed fast. In preparing for your work, therefore, you should get COLUMBIA YARNS. They are standard, even in quality, and when you get to using them you find they demand less of your patience because they do not vary from package to package. They are sold by the best retail stores throughout the country, with but few exceptions. Should your dealer not handle them, write to us and we will refer you to the nearest store that handles the complete assortment. ' Manufacturers of COLUMBIA YARNS PHILADELPHIA Explanation of Terms Used in Knitting and Crocheting IN the following pages are found the first stitches in knitting and crochet- ing, the more complex stitches are made by various repetitions and com- binations of the simple ones already given. Therefore you will find references continually to the first steps, and the references are abbreviated. Thus, "work Sg. C. or D. C." mean "work a single crochet or a double crochet"; the method of working these is explained on pages 11 and 12. The following is a Hst of the abbreviations used, with the explana- tion of them : Ch. — Chain stitch. Explained on page 11. 81. St — Slip a stitch. Explained on page 11 (crocheting) or page 9 (knitting). Sg. C. — Single crochet. Explained on page 11. D. C— Double crochet. Explained on page 12. L. C. — Long crochet. Explained on page 12. T. C. or Tr. C— Treble crochet. Explained on page 12. P.— Picot C— Crochet. Th. 0.— Throw over. Stars, thus * *, mean that the work described between them is to be repeated. They save unnecessary description where a row is the same as a preceding one. Wrap — Means to throw yam over needle. The instructions for every article shown or referred to in this book were written from the original garment worked out with the size Needle or Hook mentioned therein. We caution all Knitters and Crocheters who are inclined to knit or crochet tight to use a larger size needle or hook; and if loose a smaller size needle or hook; otherwise your garment will not work out in size according to instruc- tions. • LUMBIA YARNS Columbia Crochet and Knitting Needles Made of Bone, Wood, Celluloid or India Rubber SCALE OF SIZES FOR CROCHET NEEDLES SCALE OF SIZES FOR KNITTING NEEDLES 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 10^ 11 13 15 Columbia Gauge Card STEEL KNITTING NEEDLES 7 and S% inches Also sizes 8 and 9 in 8% inclies only The Gauge Card does not apply to Steel Needles ITS VSK WILL ENSURE YOUR GETTING THE EXACT SIZE WANTED WHEN BUYING OR ORDERING COLUMBIA KNITTING NEEDLES AND CROCHET HOOKS Directions for Use Place the hook or needle of which you need duplicates in the smallest hole that will receive it, note the number above the hole, and state that number to your dealer.

Slip the right-hand needle into the loop throw yarn around the point of right-hand needle, draw it through and slip that loop on the left-hand needle. Put the right-hand needle into the. loop just made, and repeat until you have the required number of stitches. TO KNIT PLAIN m Having the number of stitches required on the loft-hand needle, slip the right-hand needle into the last stitch made. Throw yarn over right-hand needle and draw through stitch. Re- peat until all the stitches are on the right-hand needle. TO PURL OR SEAM Bring the yarn in front of the right-hand needle, take up the stitch on the left-hand needle by slipping right-hand needle into the front of stitch. Throw yarn around the back of needle as it passes in the stitch, catch it in, and take it off. Be careful always to carry the yarn back of the needle after a purled stitch before knitting a plain stitch. 8 First Stitches: Knitting TO SLIP A STITCH Take the stitch from the left-hand to the right-hand needle without knitting it. TO MAKE A STITCH To increase or make a stitch insert the needle in the stitch, make a stitch, then in the back of same stitch make another stitch, now slip the stitch off the needle, this gives you 2 stitches in 1. By this method of Increasing a stitch, a stitch is added without making a hole in the work. TO MAKE A STITCH WHEN PURLINd The yarn being already in front of the needle, must also be passed ai'ound the needle. 9 First Stitches: Knitting TO MAKE A TWIST STITCH Like plain knitting, except that the needle must be put in the back of the stitch. Then knit as usual. TO SLIP AND BIND Slip the stitch from the left-hand to the right-hand needle without knitting. Knit the next stitch, then pass the slipped stitch over the knitted one. Note. — Sometimes the slipped stitch is passed over 2 and even over 3 stitches knitted to- gether, where it is necessary to decrease the number of stitches. TO BIND OFF Knit the first 2 stitches, pass the first stitch back over the second stitch, knit 1 stitch, pass the stitch on the right-hand needle over it, and repeat mitil but 1 stitch remains. Draw yarn through and break off. 10 First Stitches: Crocheting CHAIN STITCH Make a series of loops, drawing eaeli loop through the preceding one. SLIP STITCH Skip first stitch of chain. Insert the hook in next stitch, throw .varn over hook and draw through both loops on needle. SINGLE CROCHET Insert hook, draw yarn through, pass yarn around the hook, and draw it through both loops on the hook. 11 E^^^S^I^rCOLUMBIA YARNS iMHHMMMMMnMlliaMMRa^^ First Stitches: Crocheting DOUBLE CROCHET Pass the yarn around the hook, insert the hook, draw yarn through; pass the yarn around the hook and draw yarn through 2 loops and again through 2, LONG CROCHET Pass the yarn around the hook, insert hook, draw yarn through: pass the yarn around the hook and draw it through 1 loop, then through 2, then again through 2.
