HOW TO KNIT KNICKERBOCKER STOCKINGS
GENERAL DIRECTIONS
The difficulty in giving knitting directions arises from no two people knitting alike. Some do so too loosely, others too tightly. In good work the loops should just run easily on the needles.
In order to secure your stocking being the right size, it will be well before you start it to test your knitting by casting on 8 stitches and knitting 8 rows. If, with Alloa yarn and No. 12 needles, the knitting measures about a square inch, your stocking will work out medium size. If, however, the square is much larger or smaller, then alter the size of needles to suit your knitting, taking bigger or smaller needles as required. This is a very important point to attend to. The directions given are for a medium-sized stocking, both in length and width. Any one who has knitted a stocking by them will see at once how easy it is to enlarge or diminish the size.
How to join Wool
Never make a knot, but knit a few stitches with both wools. The extra thickness never shows, and the ends may be cut off close with impunity.
Raising
It is helpful and saves much counting, if, when you raise or decrease, you knit along with the wool, on that stitch only, a piece of fine white wool or thread. It is easily withdrawn afterwards, but it enables you to see at a glance which is your back needle, and the last time you raised or decreased.
You raise, by putting your needle before knitting next stitch through the loop below, in reality the stitch of the last round, and drawing the wool through it. You must be very careful not to make a hole, a slight twist as you take up the stitch prevents this.
Tops in Fingering
When you knit with two wools, carrying them on at the back, the knitting is much more even if one colour, say the dark, is knitted with wool from right hand in the usual English way, but keep the lighter coloured wool over finger on left hand, and take it up as the Germans always knit. This sounds troublesome, but is really quite easy with a little practice.
Another simple but useful direction in knitting with wool carried on at the back I must give.
When you knit 6 or more stitches with one colour, to avoid too long a loop at the back, which is apt to get pulled, at the 3rd or 4th stitch lay the wool you are not using level with your needle so as to come above or rather between the needle and the wool you are going to knit with. When the stitch is knitted, you will find the wool caught lightly through at the back.
KNICKERBOCKER STOCKING WITH FANCY TOP. NO. 1.
Required.—4 needles No. 12, tested by Walker's Bell Gauge, 3 cuts of Alloa yarn (heather mixture), ½ cut of red to correspond.
K stands for knit, P for purl.
With heather mixture cast on 78 stitches, 26 on each needle. Knit 4 rounds of k 1, p 1 alternately.
Purl two rounds.
In the next round you use the two colours alternately. Don't break off the wool until directed to do so.
1st pattern round.—With red wool, k 4. Heather wool k 2, but in knitting these put the wool twice round the needle instead of once as in ordinary knitting; this is done to lengthen the stitch. Repeat.
2nd round.—Red wool, k 4, slip the 2 knitted stitches on to the same needle, letting the wool drop to make a long stitch. When you slip, put in needle, as if to purl, from right to left. Repeat.
3rd, 4th, and 5th rounds.—Same as 2nd.
6th round.—Heather wool. Knit all.
7th and 8th rounds.—Purl all.
9th round.—Red wool, k 1, *, heather wool, k 2, putting wool twice round needle, red wool, k 4, repeat from *, end with k 3 red wool.
10th, 11th, 12th and 13th rounds.—Red wool, k 1, *, slip 2, k 4, repeat from *, end with k 3.
14th round.—Heather wool. Knit all.
15th and 16th rounds.—Purl all.
Repeat from 1st round once more.
Repeat up to 9th round once.
You will have 5 coloured squares. Break off red wool.
With heather wool k 1, p 1 alternately every round until your stocking measures, from casting on, a length of six inches.
Stocking Leg
Before beginning to rib the stocking leg, you must turn what you have knitted inside out to make the fancy top fall over correctly. Do this and arrange your stitches as follows. Place 31 on 1st needle, which will be called the back or heel needle, 24 on the 2nd, 23 on the 3rd needle.
1st round.—P 2, k 2, p 2, k 2, p 2, k 3, knit 2 together, k 3, knit 2 together, k 1, *, p 2, k 2, p 2, k 2, p 2, k 9, repeat from *.
You will have 29 stitches on back needle, 76 in all.
2nd round.—* P 2, k 2, p 2, k 2, p 2, k 9, repeat from *.
This ribbing broad and narrow alternately is carried down the leg. In future, directions are only given for the increasings and decreasings made on the 1st or back needle.
Repeat the 2nd round until your stocking measures from casting on eight inches.

This finishes the decreasings. You will have 10 stitches left on your back needle, 57 stitches in all on the needles. Your decreasings will have formed a good V-shaped slant.
Continue ribbing until the stocking measures, from casting on, 22 inches. You must not pull out the stocking, but place it flat on the table and measure it with a rule.
Heel
Prepare for heel by ribbing to end of back needle, from next needle knit off on back needle the broad rib of 9 stitches. Knit on a 2nd needle the small ribs and 5 of the next broad rib stitches, in all 15 stitches. On a 3rd needle k 4 and next small ribs, 14 stitches in all. Now pass the 9 stitches of broad rib on to the heel or back needle. This gives you 28 stitches on the heel needle.
The heel is formed by knitting the heel needle backwards and forwards.
1st row.—Slip 1 (when you slip 1st stitch put in needle from right to left), k 8, p 2, k 2, p 2, k 2, p 2, k 9, turn.
2nd row.—Slip 1, p 8, k 2, p 2, k 2, p 2, k 2, p 9, turn.
Repeat these two rows until you have knitted 30 rows.
To round Heel
1st row.—Slip 1, k 15, knit 2 together, k 1, turn.
2nd row.—Slip 1, p 5, purl 2 together, p 1, turn.
3rd row.—Slip 1, k 6, knit 2 together, k 1, turn.
4th row.—Slip 1, p 7, purl 2 together, p 1, turn.
5th row.—Slip 1, k 8, knit 2 together, k 1, turn.
6th row.—Slip 1, p 9, purl 2 together, p 1, turn.
7th row.—Slip 1, k 10, knit 2 together, k 1, turn.
8th row.—Slip 1, p 11, purl 2 together, p 1, turn.
9th row.—Slip 1, k 12, knit 2 together, k 1, turn.
10th row.—Slip 1, p 13, purl 2 together, p 1, turn.
11th row.—Slip 1, k 14, knit 2 together, turn.
12th row.—Slip 1, p 14, purl 2 together. 16 stitches will be left on the heel needle.
To form the Foot
This is done by taking up, and as you take up knitting through the loops down side of length of heel. In taking up be particular to put your
