the upper cotton, it is put under. _To slip_, _take off_, or _pass a stitch_, is to change it from one needle to another without knitting it. _To take under_, means to pass the right hand needle through the stitch on the left hand one, so as still to keep the same side of the stitch towards you. _Welts_ are the rounds of ribbed stitches done at the top of stockings, to prevent their rolling up. _Cast off_ means to end your work in the following manner: knit 2 stitches, pass the first over the second, and continue the same until you have but one left, which is finished by passing your cotton through it. _To decrease_ is to lessen the number of stitches by knitting 2 taken together. _To increase_, or _make a double stitch_, is to knit one stitch in the usual way, then, without slipping out the left hand needle, to pass the thread forward and knit a second stitch, putting the needle under the stitch. The thread must be put back when the stitch is finished. _Hang on_, means cast on. _Bring the thread forward_, means to pass it between the needles towards you. _Cast over_ is a term I believe sometimes used by knitters, to signify, bring the cotton forward. I have only used it to express, bring the cotton over the needle, quite round. _Round the needle_, means the same as the last term. _Reversed_, means quite round the needle, the cotton being passed _over_ the needle, and then carried back to its place. _Together_, means knit 2 stitches in 1. _Set_, or _Tuft_, the bunches of cotton used in making some of the Fringes. _To widen_ means to increase. The netting meshes are numbered from the knitting needle gauge, as I am not aware there is any other rule for them. =PUBLIC= SUBSCRIPTION LIBRARY, BELGRAVE SQUARE.
