Part 14

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.

=_To Change the Size_=

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.

=_Washing and Drying Woollen Garments_=

=The beauty of your hand knit woollen garments can be easily retained after many washings provided a few simple rules are followed.=

=Before washing, measure the garment and note measurements carefully.=

1. USE GOOD MILD SOAP OR SOAP FLAKES. Dissolve sufficient quantity to make good _lukewarm_ suds.

2. Squeeze the suds gently through and through the garment until clean. Never rub a woollen garment. Keep garment supported by hands when removing from water, because the weight of the wet garment may stretch the yarn.

3. Rinse 3 times in clean, lukewarm water, gently squeezing to REMOVE ALL SOAP. Keep garment supported by hands when removing from water.

4. Never let the garment lie wet, but remove all moisture at once by rolling in a clean, thick towel.

5. Remove garment from towel, lay on flat surface, easing into original measurement. Leave until dry AWAY FROM EXTREME HEAT. DO NOT HANG UP.

6. NON-SHRINK WOOLS. Non-Shrink treated yarns may stretch with careless washing, therefore use especial care when washing your non-shrink garments. Follow the same instructions _most carefully_ and you will avoid any trouble.

=REMOVE ALL SOAP. REMOVE ALL MOISTURE. AFTER WASHING DON'T HANG UP--DRY FLAT!=
