1838.
Trefoil
Tatting.
This
is
done
by
drawing
three
loops
up
tightly,
made
close
together,
and
then
leaving
a
short
space
before
making
more.
The
trefoil
is
sewed
into
shape
afterwards
with
a
needle.
1839.
To
Join
Loops.
When
two
loops
are
to
be
connected,
a
picot
is
made
in
the
first,
wherever
the
join
is
required.
When
you
come
to
the
corresponding
part
of
the
second
loop,
draw
the
thread
which
goes
round
the
fingers
of
the
left
hand
through
the
picot
with
a
needle,
pulling
through
a
loop
large
enough
to
admit
the
shuttle.
Slip
this
through,
then
draw
the
thread
tight
again
over
the
fingers,
and
continue
the
work.
In
many
patterns
a
needle
is
used
to
work
over,
in
buttonhole
stitch,
the
thread
which
passes
from
one
loop
to
another.
A
long
needleful
of
the
same
cotton
or
silk
used
for
the
tatting
is
left
at
the
beginning
of
the
work,
and
a
common
needle
used
to
buttonhole
over
bars
wherever
they
occur.
1840.
Alternative
Picots.
Picots
are
also
sometimes
made
with
the
needle
and
cotton
in
working
over
these
bars.
1841.
Instructions
in
Knitting.
1842.
Improvements
in
Process.
Although
the
art
of
knitting
is
known
perhaps
more
generally
than
almost
any
other
kind
of
fancy
work,
still
as
the
knowledge
is
not
universal,
and
there
have
been
of
late
years
great
improvements
in
many
of
the
processes,
we
hope
that
a
short
account
of
all
the
stitches,
and
the
elementary
parts
of
the
craft,
will
be
welcomed
by
many
of
our
friends--and
most
seriously
would
we
recommend
them
to
attain
perfection
in
this
branch
of
work,
because,
above
all
others,
it
is
a
resource
to
those
who,
from
weak
eyes,
are
precluded
from
many
kinds
of
industrial
amusement,
or
who,
as
invalids,
cannot
bear
the
fatigue
of
more
elaborate
work.
The
fact
is
that
knitting
does
not
require
eyesight
at
all;
and
a
very
little
practice
ought
to
enable
any
one
to
knit
whilst
reading,
talking,
or
studying,
quite
as
well
as
if
the
fingers
were
unemployed.
It
only
requires
that
the
fingers
should
be
properly
used,
and
that
one
should
not
be
made
to
do
the
duty
of
another.
