Knitting experts made a speciality of creating stylish jumper designs by means of intricate increasings and decreasings. Those who are better at using a sewing machine than knitting needles, find it easier to make up jumpers in the following way: Cast on the stitches on a round needle, and proceed until the work measures the required length from the commencement. Place a dressmaking pattern on the knitting and from it mark the armholes and neck. Sew along the marked lines with three rows of stitching, then cut away the superflous edges, when the stitching will prevent the- stitches from running. Finally sew in the sleeves and collar on the sewing machine.
