Choose from stunning, sophisticated modern designs, or new adaptations of traditional colonial motifs ... both are equally beautiful whatever your choice.
BLOCKING: Using rust-proof pins, pin each piece, wrong side out, on a pressing board in exactly the line you wish to retain. Use a damp cloth and moderately hot iron or a dry cloth and steam iron, press lightly, allowing the steam to go through the garment. Lay it on a flat surface until thoroughly dry.
DYE LOTS: Be sure to buy sufficient yarn at one time to complete your garment, making certain that each ball or skein has an identical set of dye lot letters, this is printed on the band around the yarn, and is beside the color number.
GAUGE: Each instruction gives a gauge or scale of the number of stitches to the inch when using the yarn and needles called for. If you work tighter than the average, change to larger needles; if you work looser, change to smaller needles, to acquire the same number of stitches to the inch called for in the instructions.
