Box No. was sent to headquar-'
tiers this week. In contained: II suits
pajamas, 80 knitted sweaters, 30 pair
socks, Is wristlets, helmets. Hell
NETS are needed.
Knitters are asked to include he'll
NETS in their output. There is
great demand for them in the can
tonments here and because workers
have been concentrating on sweaters
he supply is far below the demand.
The Army is to provide a trench
cap for the men so we are asked not
to make these. Those that are made
may be sent in, but time had better
be put upon sweaters, helmets, socks,
wrislets and muff1ers.
In making the sweater be sure to
make the opening for the head large
enough. If you knit tight you will
need from seven to ten ridges on the
shoulder
With the poorest quality of yarn
use the thread double for the sweater,
but for no other garments. When the
thread is doubled. use Red Cross knit
ting needle No. 8. If you use thread
single, use Red Cross knitting needle
No. 2 and use 80 instead of 80 stitch
