The season of 1946-47 promises to be the biggest of all seasons in knitting—you'll be knitting for the boys at camp—and in your spare time for the young Americans who are at the Fireside with you. So—Mothers, get out your knitting needles or crocheting hooks and relax in a nice big chair, turn on your radio to some soothing music, unwind your yarn—and in the pages of this book will be enough inspiration to make Mr. and Miss Young America the world's best dressed Children. There are Infants and Juvenile Styles cleverly and colorfully designed—and the Smart Young Miss has her day too, for there are some Garments that will be sure to meet with her approval and needs.

We sincerely hope that this book will be of invaluable use to those who "Knit Smartly".

Slip Stitch—Insert hook in next st, yarn over and draw through both loops on hook.

Blocking—Pin the garment, with rust proof pins, wrong side out, on a pressing board in exactly the measurements desired. Place a damp cloth over garment and with a moderately hot iron, press lightly, allowing the steam to go through. Lay on a flat surface until thoroughly dry.

Needle Gauge—When making a garment—work a swatch, using the needles called for to determine whether or not your work measures the same number of stitches to the inch as given in the scale. Change size of needles accordingly.

When Using Colors—In changing color always K the first row on right side regardless of pattern.
