In answer to the many inquiries for
information telling how to make a knit
rug similar to the one pictured recently,
today am giving explicit directions for
the knit rug pictured. The measure
ments are given on the illustration, to-
gether with dotted lines showing the
best way to divide the rug into strips
for knitting. If any rugmaker prefers
to divide the strips otherwise she can
DO so, but the person who Is ineXperi-
enced In making floor coVeringSg will
do well to follow the rules precisely.
Before giving these directions let me
give way to find out the amount of
material that will be needed. 1t is, of
course, impossible to make absolute
calculations. Any one who has bought
stamped patterns with materials in
cluded realizes that the amount is al
ways less or more than is used, so in
calculating for this rug do not expect
&c come out just right Be sure to cal
culate too much rather than too little.
1t Is hard TO get a second amount to
match, as dyes differ slightly. If YOU
make your own dyes. be sure to mix
more than will be needed at first. Then
you will be sure of having the same
color when dyeing another quantity of
the same material used as first.
Cast 10 stitches of the material which
you will use for the rug onto the nee
dies you are to use. Knit two or three
rows. Ravel out one row and measure
its length. Allow as much knitting
material. or medium as it Is more tech
nically termed, for each 10 stitches.
Another measurement can be well
made from small knitted portion,
which can be measuring unit. For
this rug, which is divided into border
strips of 2ls inches in width, knit Il
square q. inches by 212 inches. Count
the number of stitches in q row and
the number of rows it takes to make
. square. Assuming that you knit
evenly or approximately evenly, each
~ inches in the rug will require
number of rows equal to those in this
measuring unit. AS different persons
knit so differently, some tighter and
some looser than others, no accurate
measuring gauge can be given that will
suit all workers alike.
You VIII note that there are two Dor
der strips of 2l2 inches, four strips of
inches and one of 7l2 inches Each
e-inch strip will be twice as wide as
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-07-14

the measuring unit, and the center
strip of W. inches will be three times
its width.
Start the rug by knitting the middle
strip of ~ inches Note that there
must be 27l2 inches between the two
portions of the border at each end
which protrude fartheSt into the center
of the rug. Start and finish each row
with the border color, and introduce
color into the knitting as indicated in
the pattern pictured.
Knit the two strips that come next
the middle strip and seam them in po-
sition, row by row. and the pattern will
meet correctly. Knit each of the other
two 5-inch rows next and seam, in
place, and finally knit the border
strips. Seam in position, and the rug
is done. If made according to measure
ments given, the rug will be 32ls inches
by 62l2. inches.
Any one wishing to know where to
find directions for other knit rugs will
be given the information by sending
with a request a Self-addressed stamped
envelope. Direct the outer envelope to
Lydia LIE Baron Walker, care of this
paper.
