KNITTING NOTION
KNITTING instructions often say, "knit into the backs of
stitches." But working into the backs of a tight cast-on row is an irritàting business,
Here is a way you get a firm straight edge immediately you
cast on.
Make your initial loop with a knot and leave a long end.
Hold your needle (only one is used) in the right hand, with the wool from the ball over your Anger in the ordinary way. Now twist the long end of wool round the your thumb as shown in drawing, put the needle between the wool and the thumb (you can see how in the sketch) and init the alitch on to the needle.
Twist again, and knit another stlich on to the needle. Pull each separate stitch tut.

come to stay: they are the best comfort- with-glamour idea in years.
There's nothing like a hood to snuggle round your ears, when it starts to rain-and there's not a bus in sight.
Here is the basic pattern of a face- framing hood; I can think of at least a dozen ways to make it. Make it in oiled silk for rainy days; in velvet to stitch to your even- ing coat in fur-cloth to give your suit a new lease of life; in bright jersey to wear with a tweed coat; in soft wool for your dressing gown in case the sirens ge in the night; No end to its uses, and when you don't want it. on your head it lies flatly at the back.
So learn the diagram by heart and get going. You can make, the hood of single material or double (in which case you need twice as much, of course). For a single- thickness hood you want a piece of material
Here is a pale blue velvet hood on dark brown or dark red velvet evening coat. If your coat is black, try by or emerald velvet. Don't worry if von can't find a match for your coat; a contrast is smarter,

23% inches by 17 inches. It's a smart iden to make the lining of a contrasting colour.
Cut it out in newspaper first; then use that as a pattern to cut the material, taking care to put the side marked "14in." on the fold, and to cut two pieces if you want the hood lined. --
Join the top seam of the hood and the same seam of the lining, then press. With right sides together, seam the lining to the hood, leaving the short curved edge open. Turn and press. (If you are using very thick material or oiled silk and do not want to line. it, hem and bind the edge neatly on the wrong side.)
Then you can sew the hood to a coat or dressing gown-or not-just as you like.
If you want to attach it to a coat stitch the hood to the neckline on the outside, right sides facing. Then stitch a strip of bias binding to the lining of the hood and slip- stitch down to the inside of the neck.
If you make the hood of oiled silk or fur cloth you may not want to attach it per- manently to a coat. So finish the lower edge with a band, fastening with a button, or if you have material to spare make a narrow- scarf, sew to the bottom of the hood, and tie in front.
