TO MAKE UP: Press pieces carefully. Sew side seams. Sew sleeve seams to within 3/4 inch of top. Sew sleeves in armholes. Sew buttons to correspond to the shell edges on Front of coat as illustrated, using the Ch. 3. of the shell pattern for a buttonhole. As the coat is reversible the buttons should be sewn on the left front for a girl, and the right front for a boy.

=_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_=
=CHECK THE TENSION=
=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.=
=_Be sure to work to exact tension given if you want your garment to work to correct size._=
=_To Press a Finished Garment_=
--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 the Yarn the Pattern Calls For_=
Use only Patons and Baldwins yarns, and Beehive Knitting Needles for any of the garments in this Book.
