\''^i NTRODUCTION
Knitting and crocheting with the Woolco Yarns is
one of the most fascinating forms of recreation. It is
very easy to learn the first stitches, and a Httle prac-
tice will make you a proficient worker. You will find
that the work goes quickly, and that instead of tiring
you it will rest you and soothe the nerves.
In preparing the Woolco Manual it has been our
aim to produce a book that will be of greatest service
both to those who are taking up the work for the
first time and for those who need only new ideas for
practical and pretty garments. All explanations have
been made as simple as possible, and the garments
have been selected for their general usefulness and
good style.
To those who are not familiar with knitting and
crocheting with yarns a word of advice about yarn
quality is important. In any line of goods quality is
always worth its price, and in the end will prove the
most economical. But while in some lines of goods
a little better or a little worse may make slight differ-
ence, in yarns it means the difference between success
and failure. The best worker in the world cannot
make a satisfactory garment of inferior yarns. For
this reason we wish to impress upon you the neces-
sity of buying Woolco Yarns. You will then be
certain to secure the full value of the time and skill
you spend upon your work. See pages 6 and 7.

WOOLCO YARNS
The rapidity with which Woolco Yarns have
established themselves among our patrons is the best
possible testimony to their splendid qualities. Each of
the three yarns are made from wools carefully
selected to give the proper strength and character,
every step in the long process of manufacture is closely
watched and the finished yarn undergoes a final
searching examination before it is boxed. That is
why you can count on Woolco Yarns being always
the same.
When worked up into garments you will find that
Woolco Yarns give an unusually soft and warm fabric
with remarkable wearing qualities. Since a large part
of the value of any knitted or crocheted garment is in
the time and skill spent in making it, you should take
particular care in the selection of your yarn. If you
make it a point to use only Woolco Yarns you can
depend upon the finished garment giving perfect
satisfaction.
For the convenience of those who do not live
near a Woolworth Store Woolco Yarns will be sup-
plied by mail from Store No. ig, Boston. See details
on opposite page.

KNITTING STITCHES
To Cast On Stitches
Make a loop in the yarn and slip it onto a needle.
Next slip tlie 2d needle into the loop, throw the
yain around it, draw it through, and slip the loop
thus formed onto the left-hand needle, thrusting the
latter needle through it from the front to the back.
Put the right-hand needle into the 2d loop; make
another loop and slip it onto the left-hand needle.
Repeat in this manner until you have as many
stitches as required.
Knit Plain
Having cast on the number of stitches required,
insert the right-hand needle into the ist stitch;
throw the yarn over, draw it through to form a
loop or stitch. Repeat this movement for the next
and all the stitches on the left-hand needle, keeping
the stitches on the right-hand needle.

To Purl
Throw the yarn from its usual position at the
back of work, in front of the right-hand needle.
Then insert the point of the latter under the next
stitch, thrusting it through from the right toward
the left, instead of the way usual in knitting plain.
This will bring the right-hand needle in front of the
left one; now throw the thread around the right
hand needle by the same movement as used in
plain knitting, and draw the loop backward instead
of forward. Seam, or purl as many stitches as
required, and then throw the yarn back of the
needle into its ordinary position.
Bind Off
Slip I stitch, knit the next stitch; with the left-
hand needle draw the slipped stitch over the
knitted one. Continue slipping the ist stitch over
the last knitted stitch until there is but i left on the
needle, break off yarn and draw through this last
stitch.

Buy at one time enough
yarn to finish your work.
Woolco Yarns have always been dyed with
the finest dyes obtainable. The well-known
condition of the dyestuffs market at present
forces us to buy dyes in small lots so that we
are no longer able to maintain our usual uni-
formity of shades.
It is a condition which we would overcome
if it were possible, but as there is positively
no remedy we must urge our customers to
buy more carefully than has heretofore been
necessary.
Buy enough yarn to finish your garment
and see that it matches before you leave the
store. By doing so you will avoid disappoint-
ment for yourself and assist us in overcoming
an awkward and regrettable situation.
May we count on your co-operation?

In Buying Woolco Yarns
you should buy enough of a color to finish the
garment you intend to make. Woolco Yarns
have always been dyed with the finest and most
expensive dyes obtainable. The well-known
condition of the dyestuffs market at present
forces us to buy dyes in small lots so that we
are no longer able to maintain our usual uni-
formity of shades. It is a condition which we
would overcome if it were possible, but as there
is positively no remedy we must urge our cus-
tomers to buy more carefully than has hereto-
fore been necessary. Buy enough yarn to
finish your garment and see that it matches
before you leave the store. By doing so you
will avoid disappointment for yourself and
assist us in overcoming an awkward and regretta-
ble situation. May we count on your co-
operation?
