NAVY LEAGUE NOTES
Knitters are reminded that, although the Comforts Committee of this branch does not insist on fixed sizes of knitted garments (recognising that men differ in height and girth), there are certain measurements to which it is essential to adhere. Most knitters are very good in this respect, but occasionally there are lapses. . Pullovers.—The polo collar should be 6Jin deep, in order to afford protection to a man’s neck and ears. Length from lower edge of pullover to beginning of armhole should be at least 17in. Whatever ribbed pattern (preferably 4 and 2) is used for the body of the pullover, the 4in ribbing at the bottom should be 1 and 1. in order to grip closely. Several pullovers have come in with the castingoff done so tightly that no man could have got his head through. Socks should be at least llin, preferably lljin, in the feet, and llln-12in in the'leg. Scarves—At least lOin wide and 52m long. The whole of the three skeins issued should be used. Balaclavas made in the pattern used by this branch are greatlv appreciated by the users. A limited quantity of homespun wool is available for making into babies’ cot covers. A good example of a quilt may be seen at the spinning room or in the wardroom next Wednesday.
