The Stretches Sweater
By NANCY WOODS WALBURN
<fT%HE SWEATER is bully Sis" wrote
a grateful brother in a Southern
training camp "hut can't YOU make

grateful brother in Southern
training camp, "but can't you make
that doesn't stretch? They get all out of
shape in a jiffy" And straightway here is her
solution!
This is the origin of the Stretches sweater
shown on this page. Its story is interesting.
In New York tea room recently young
woman making one. Taking advantage Of
the freemasonry that exists among war knit
ters / promptly examined it. When I asked
why she had thus knitted it in this pattern,
instead of the regulation manner, she
planned that her brother, who was in South
crn training camp, had complained that his
sweater stretched and got baggy and out of
shape SO quickly. 1t was to overcome this diff
ficulty that she had introduced frequent
strips of purling, which counterfeit by fitting
moro closely the tendency to stretch.
The other ideas for knitted, crocheted or
eiderdown garments already published in The
Tribune have been those which economic in
wool or labor. Frankly, this so-called stretch
less sweater does neither.
On the contrary, sweater made according
to this pattern takes slightly more wool, as
we'll as additional time But, on the other
hand, it yields far more warmth and is more
durable, so that those who have seen it think
it more than justifies this slightly increased
expenditure. These arc the directions:
Three and one-half hanks yarn.
Cast 80 stitches, knit 2, purl stitches
for five inches. Purl g. knit 5, purl q knit S,
purl 2, knit S, until the last stitches are
reached, then knit S, purl 3, purl all the way

5, until last stitches reached, then knit 5,
pur g. Iurl all the way back. Repeat this
until sweater measures % inches. Kuit and
