Four-fold—about 18 ounces of wool yarn, or 16 ounces of silky wool.
For four-fold yarn use No. 1 rake shown in Fig. 1.
For two-fold yarn use No. 2 rake shown in Fig. 1.
For the body of the jacket—single stitch as described in Chapter 2.
Read carefully the instructions given in Chapters 2 and 4.
=To Knit the Cuffs, Sleeves and Body of the Jacket.=
1. Knit the cuff directly in the center of the rake so as to allow room for adding the same number of stitches on either end in shaping the sleeve. (See Fig. 35.)
2. Cast stitches on 44 nails, 22 in each row. (See Chapter 2.)
3. Knit 2½ inches of double stitch (Chapter 2) to make the cuff, A, B, D, C, Fig. 35.
4. To shape the sleeve, C, D, E, F, when using four-fold yarn, increase the number of stitches by adding one more nail at the end of every row of winding until all the nails of the rake are in use. Use single stitch. (See Chapter 2.)
5. For a looser sleeve, or for two-fold yarn, add two nails at a time for the first 6 inches, and then one nail at a time for the rest of the sleeve. (See dotted line in Fig. 35.)
7. Cast off stitches as described in section 3 of Chapter 4, to shape the second sleeve. Where you added one nail at a time in shaping the first sleeve, cast off one nail at a time in shaping the second sleeve. If you added two nails, cast stitches off two nails at a time, until only 44 nails, 22 in each row, are left.
