Needles and Tension USED IN THIS BOOK

TENSION: When using the above wools and needles, be sure your work measures the exact tension as given below:

As baby garments and bedjackets are more loosely fitted than tailored garments a change of size in needles is satisfactory for change in size of garment.

Wear Wool and Be Well

ULTRA-VIOLET TRANSMISSION THROUGH FABRIC MADE FROM WOOL—It is an established fact that the health-giving ultra-violet rays are transmitted to the body with greater power through Wool than through either Artificial Silk or Cotton.

USE GOOD QUALITY WOOLS AND THERE IS NO NEED FOR WASHING HAND KNITTED GARMENTS BEFORE WEARING

General Information

The garments in this book are worked to the exact tension given. They are closely knitted to insure a firm fabric that will wear better and keep its shape longer than a loosely knitted fabric. Check your tension. Before beginning your garment take the wool and needles specified. Cast on 20 stitches. Work 20 rows stocking stitch and compare with the tension given in the instruction. All given tension in Beehive instructions is measured over stocking stitch. If your tension is too loose try a size smaller needle. If your tension is too tight try a size larger needle.

—for plain, smooth fabric. Place all knitted pieces on a thick pad wrong side out. Baste to shape and size desired being careful to keep the weave quite straight. Cover with a damp bath towel. Smooth EVENLY with a WARM iron. Remove towel and leave until dry.

For raised and fancy patterns. Baste into position and cover with a wet towel but do not press. Pat gently but firmly with the hand. Remove towel and leave until dry.

Use only Patons and Baldwins yarns, and Beehive Knitting Needles for any of the garments in this Book.

at the time you make your initial purchase, making sure it is the one dye lot. This will prevent a disappointment later on when you might find you could not exactly match the colour.

Read carefully the measurements given in the instructions. When enlarging a patterned garment be sure to add enough stitches for a complete pattern. When enlarging a plain garment multiply the stitches required for 1 inch by the number of inches necessary for the extra width. For a smaller size cast on as many less stitches as are required for 1 inch. Continue knitting in extra or lesser length to underarm, for armhole and for sleeves.

The garments given in this book have been carefully worked to the following standard measurements. To obtain the same results use the wools and needles the pattern calls for and work to exact tension given.

The designs illustrated in this book should fit an average child of the given age. There is, however, such variation of size between one child and another that age is not, of course, a completely accurate guide.

We are happy to present newly designed garments made from our renowned BEEHIVE NON-SHRINK BABY WOOL in this new and bigger edition of BEEHIVE FOR BAIRNS, an important addition to the ever-growing "BEEHIVE" series of standard knitting books.

Baby Garments require constant care in washing and for this reason Mothers everywhere welcome the Non-Shrink properties of this new Beehive Baby Wool.
