ending with a purl row.

until piece measures (from where sts were taken off for heel)

To work pattern in rows, follow directions for rnds, purling 2nd and alternate rows, using dark over D sts and light over L sts. Break yarn and slip these sts onto a stitch holder until heel and sole have been worked.

HEEL … With right side facing, work with D at left of instep sts, and knit across 18 heel sts on 3rd needle; then knit across 18 heel sts on 1st needle, thus joining. Work back and forth over the heel sts only as follows: 1st row: * Sl 1, p 1. Repeat from * across row. 2nd row: Sl 1, k across row. Repeat these 2 rows alternately for 2½" ending with a purl row.

   1st row: K 1, purl to last st on 2nd needle, k 1. 2nd row: K 1, k 2 tog., k to last 3 sts on 2nd needle, sl 1 as if to knit, k 1, p.s.s.o., k 1. Repeat these 2 rows until 36 sts remain on heel needles. Work straight until, ending with a purl row, sole measures (from back of heel)

GLOVES No. 372

Join, being careful not to twist, and work in ribbing of k 1, p 1 for 3". Change to No. 11 needles and work in pattern as for Socks for 4 rnds. Place 1st 7 sts on a safety pin to be worked later for thumb. Work remaining sts back and forth in pattern for 28 rows. To work pattern in rows, follow directions for rnds, purling 2nd and alternate rows, using dark over D sts and light over L sts. Now, with dark, work thumb as follows: 1st row: K 1, p 1, inc. 1 st in next st, k 1, inc. 1 st in next st, p 1, k 1. 2nd row: P 1, k 1, p 5, k 1, p 1. 3rd row: K 1, p 1, k 5, p 1, k 1. 4th row: Repeat 2nd row. 5th row: K 1, p 1, inc. 1 st in next st, k 3, inc. 1 st in next st, p 1, k 1. 6th row: P 1, k 1, p 7, k 1, p 1. 7th row: K 1, p 1, k 7, p 1, k 1. 8th row: Repeat 6th row. Continue thus, increasing 2 sts in thumb every 4th rnd until, between the p ribs, there are

Put glove on and mark fingers by putting safety pin on palm and back of hand between each finger, having for forefinger

When odd number of sts is required for a finger, always have the larger number of sts on the back of the hand, with 1 st less on the palm. Place all sts except those for forefinger on a stitch holder.

Forefinger … Divide these sts on 3 needles. Attach dark color and work in stockinette stitch around. Cast on 4 sts between forefinger and middle finger, and work straight until finger, when tried on, reaches ½" from finger-tip. Then * k 1, k 2 tog. Repeat from * around. Work 1 rnd straight. Next rnd: K 2 tog. around. Break yarn, leaving a 6" end. Thread this end into a needle and run through remaining sts. Draw, tight, and darn in end on wrong side to reinforce tip.

Middle Finger … Attach yarn to sts of middle finger (at back), knit across, then pick up 4 sts of forefinger, k across palm, cast on 4 sts. Finish as for forefinger.

Ring Finger … Work as for middle finger.

Little Finger … Work as for forefinger.

Thumb … Pick up the sts from safety pin for thumb and 5 sts on the 5 cast-on sts. Work straight for about 2", and finish as for forefinger.

LEFT HAND … Work to correspond.
