The Sunlight Book of 
 
 Knitting and Crocheting 
 
 Experienced knitters and crocheters will appreciate 
 this newest edition of the Sunlight Book of Knitting 
 and Crocheting — because it presents the very latest 
 novelties as well as new ideas for making many articles 
 of unchanging style. 
 
 Beginners will find every step made clear by direc- 
 tions as simple and easily understood as though they 
 were demonstrated by a teacher, because the instruc- 
 tions were all written from actual work on the articles. 
 
 The illustrations and directions embrace an almost 
 unlimited variety of useful and appreciated articles. 
 
 Tiny bootees, afghans, hoods and sacques for the 
 baby — warm skirt or tasseled cap for the little girl — 
 sweater and sturdy mittens for the boy — a skating cap 
 or sweater after a new and natty model for the man — 
 a comfortable shawl or slippers for the grandmother 
 and innumerable fancies from opera capes to bridge 
 and motor jackets for the friend. 
 
 That the hours of work on any article may not go 
 for naught with its first washing, it is imperative to 
 select yarns that have proven trustworthy. 
 
 Sunlight Yarns have for many years been recog- 
 nized as meeting all the requirements of satisfactory 
 work, lasting colors and long wear.

 line of heather shades and brilliant colorings, especially suitable for golf jackets, stock- 
 ings, toques, children's sweater coats, caps, etc. 
 
 SUNLIGHT German Knitting Worsted is well known for its extreme wearing quali- 
 ties. The greatest of care is exercised to produce a round, even thread with just the 
 right amount of twist to make it knit up well. It is made in a full line of colors, prints 
 and mixtures, and is used for knitting hose, gloves, sweaters and other articles that 
 must stand wear and great exposure.

 afghans, slippers, toques, aviation caps, shawls, fine sweaters, mufflers, tying comforts, 
 and innumerable other beautiful and serviceable articles.

 it is carefully spun and twisted to produce just the proper degree of soft, even loftiness 
 and elasticity. 
 
 It is made in a wide range of shades covering every possible requirement from the 
 most delicate to the heaviest staple shades and all the newest colors in popular favor.

 four-fold Germantown. except that the thread is about twice as heavy. It is especially 
 good for making toques, aviation caps, heavy sweaters, afghans, slumber robes, etc. 
 
 SUNLIGHT Saxony is a fine, soft, three-ply thread, smoothly and evenly spun, 
 made in a complete line of shadings. Only the finest of wools go into this soft 
 yarn, which is ideal for making children's stockings, soft gloves and mittens, fascina- 
 tors, infants' crocheted skirts and hoods, bootees, trimming hoods, children's coats, 
 shawls, etc. 
 
 SUNLIGHT Spanish Worsted — four-ply — is made of a special selection of fine, hard 
 wearing wools. It is spun into a finer thread than the German Knitting Worsted, is 
 used for much the same purposes, but is particularly adapted for knitting gloves and 
 mittens, men's socks, women's stockings, sweaters, etc. Sunlight Spanish Worsted 
 is made in a complete line of colors and mixtures.

 toques, aviation caps, auto caps, and for baby afghans.

 fascinators and baby garments.

 It comes in a line of delicate colors and is used for infants' sacques and bootees, 
 women's scarfs, shawls, etc. 
 
 SUNLIGHT Alliance Worsted is a very fine knitting yarn, made soft, lofty and yield- 
 ing. Its uses are about the same as the Spanish and the German Knitting Worsted, but 
 the effect is much softer. Made in black and white only. 
 
 SUNLIGHT Fairy Floss is a soft yarn of the nature of a Shetland Floss, crimped to 
 give it a wavy effect. It is used for shoulder wraps, shawls, fascinators, kimonas, etc.

 It is used for infants' mitts, bootees and jackets.

 about it. It is largely used for making up dainty infants' garments, scarfs, shawls, etc. 
 
 SUNLIGHT Ice Wool is a genuine Mohair high luster, wiry, two-ply thread. It is 
 used for circular shawls and all fancy wraps and headgear.

 INSTRUCTIONS 
 
 This handsome robe, in its subdued color, 
 is very restful to the eye and would cer- 
 tainly give great satisfaction to the maker, 
 especially, as the work is not very difficult. 
 
 The afghan is worked in 3 shades of "old 
 rose," but brown or green would look well 
 also, in case those colors should be pre- 
 ferred. 
 
 It is made up of 9 panels, 5 fancy ones 
 in the light and medium shades and 4 plain 
 ones in the dark shade. A heavy fringe is 
 put on the ends of the robe, so each panel 
 gets its own shade. 
 
 Work the dark panel in the cluster stitch. 
 
 Start with a chain of 32 stitches. 
 
 1st row: Draw the loop on needle half 
 an inch long, * take up 1 loop in 2nd stitch 
 on the chain, yarn over hook, take up an- 
 other loop in same place and repeat from 
 * to end of row. 
 
 Put yarn over hook and pull through 1 
 cluster at a time; at the end pull through 
 1st loop and make 1 chain. 
 
 2nd row: Same as 1st row, make 1 clus- 
 ter between 1st loop and 1st cluster on row 
 below, then repeat, making 1 cluster be- 
 tween each cluster on row below. At end 
 o f row take up 1 loop on the back of last 
 cluster below; yarn over and pull through 
 
 the loop, then repeat as before and at end 
 of row pull through loop with the cluster 
 and make 1 chain. 
 
 3rd row: Same as 1st row. making 1 
 cluster between each cluster on preceding 
 row. Repeat 2nd and 3rd rows. Make 
 panel 2j4 yards in length. 
 
 The fancy panel is made up of 3 stripes, 
 2 in the medium and 1 in the light shade. 
 
 Begin stripe with a chain of 7 stitches, 
 pick up 6 loops, then you have 7 loops in 
 all on needle. Put yarn over and pull 
 through 1 loop at a time. 
 
 Next row same as 1st row, taking up in 
 the loops on row below. 
 
 Make 1 more row. 
 
 4th row: Pick up 3 loops; then take up 
 1 loop in the 2nd loop from edge on 2nd 
 row below. Put yarn over hook and pull 
 through 2 loops. Put yarn over hook twice 
 and take up 1 loop in 3rd loop from edge 
 on 3rd row below, yarn over and pull 
 through 2 loops, then yarn over and pull 
 through 2 more loops. Repeat this last 
 stitch 2 times more in the 4th and 5th loop 
 on 3rd row below. 
 
 Put yarn over hook once and take up i 
 loop in 2nd loop from the other edge on 
 2nd row below, and pull through 2 loops.

 Now yarn over hook and pull through S 
 loops, 1 for each stitch and make 1 chain 
 tight. Pick up the 3 last loops on 4th row, 
 1 in all, on needle, and pull through 1 at a 
 time, same as before. 
 
 This is the design for the whole panel. 
 
 Make 2 plain rows, then repeat 4th row, 
 so for every 3rd row you make a new clus- 
 ter. 
 
 Make stripe 2 ! 4 yards long. 
 
 Work the 2 other stripes. 
 
 Put those 3 stripes together with the 
 chain stitch in the dark shade and place 
 the light panel in middle. 
 
 Put this fancy panel together with the 
 plain panel, same way in the light shade. 
 
 To connect: Place both panels together 
 with the right side out, make a loop on the 
 hook and * put hook through 1 loop on the 
 edge of each panel. Yarn over and pull 
 through all on needle at once and repeat 
 from * to end of row. 
 
 Crochet scallops on the fancy panel on 
 both sides of afghan. Make shells of 7 
 double crochet with 1 single crochet be- 
 tween. 
 
 Make a fringe 5 inches long and let the 
 ends of each panel be fringed in its own 
 shade. Cut the threads for fringe 24 inches 
 in length. Take 1 end and double up 2 
 times, put the loops through edge with the 
 crochet hook, then draw ends through loops 
 and tighten.

 This Afghan is made up of panels in the 
 shades of brown; S panels are shaded. 
 Fleurs-de-lis are embroidered in cross stitch 
 on the 4 dark panels, and a scallop fiinishes 
 off the edge. 
 
 Use the 6 shades of the 8-fold German- 
 town and No. 6 hook for the shaded panel. 
 
 This panel is made up of squares, worked 
 in the rib stitch and joined to each other 
 with black yarn. 
 
 Start the square in center with the 3rd 
 shade from the lightest. Wind the yarn 10 
 times over your finger, then make 16 single 
 crochet in the ring. Join 1st row by making 
 a slip stitch in the 1st stitch. 
 
 2nd row: *Make 3 single crochet in 1 
 stitch on 1st row (this makes the corner) 
 taking up in double stitch, then make 3 
 single crochet 1 in each stitch and repeat 
 from * to end of row. Join as before, make 
 1 chain tight and break off the yarn. 
 
 3rd row: Take next shade lighter; start 
 on wrong side of work and make 3 single 
 crochet in the middle stitch of one corner 
 on preceding row, always taking up in the 
 back of the stitches. Make 1 single crochet 
 in each stitch on the side and repeat the 
 same increasing in next corner. Finish the 
 row, join and make 1 chain tight. 
 
 4th row: Turn the work on the other side 
 and start the single crochet in 2nd stitch 
 from the chain just made. Repeat the single 
 crochet, increase in the corners as on pre- 
 ceding row, join the row, make 1 chain tight 
 and break off the yarn. 
 
 Two rows make 1 rib. Repeat this rib, 
 using 1 shade for each rib. Next rib will be 
 in the light shade, then reverse the shades 
 and continue, so that the last rib in the 
 square will be in the darkest shade. Make 
 9 squares for 1 panel. 
 
 Make a button in center of 'each square. 
 Take the darkest shade of the four-fold Ger- 
 mantown. Wind the yarn 24 times over 
 your finger. Break off the yarn and fasten 
 the end in the hank. Pull through center 
 of square, fasten on wrong side and cut 
 even on right side. 
 
 Join the squares in black. 
 
 Place both pieces together with the right 
 sides out. Start in the corner in the middle 
 stitch of each piece and make the single 
 crochet, taking up in double stitch on both 
 edges. Work a little tight. 
 
 Make S shaded panels. 
 
 Use the dark brown of the four-fold Ger- 
 mantown and No. 4 hook for the plain panel. 
 This panel is worked in the Old Afghan 
 stitch. Make a chain of 40 stitches. 
 
 1st row: Pick up 1 loop in each stitch on 
 the chain, put yarn over hook and pull 
 through 1 loop (of those picked up) at a 
 time.

 shaded panel. 
 
 Join the panels in black, the same way as 
 the squares, having the dark plain panel 
 toward you and skip about every 4th stitch 
 (row) on the edge of the plain panel. 
 
 Border: Use black yarn and make 1 row 
 in the single crochet all around the Afghan 
 on wrong side. On the ends of the plain 
 panels skip every 3rd stitch, taking over 1 
 row. 
 
 2nd row: Take the next darkest shade

 This Slumber Robe is made up of panels, 
 worked in various shades of different colors. 
 Five panels are green and blue, shaded, and 
 4 panels are medium green, with the pattern 
 in brown. A scallop finishes off the edge. 
 Use No. 6 hook for the green and blue panel. 
 This panel is worked lengthwise. Start with 
 the lightest shade in green and make a chain 
 2y 2 yards in length. 
 
 1st row: Make 1 single crochet in 2nd 
 stitch from hook. * Take up 1 loop in next 
 stitch on the chain and from this loop make 
 a chain of 3 stitches; put yarn over hook 
 and pull through both loops on needle, make 
 1 single crochet in next stitch on the chain 
 and repeat from * to end of row. 
 
 This row is the center row of panel. 
 
 2nd row: Start with 2 single crochet on 
 this row (that will alternate the knots) and 
 work same as on 1st row, taking up in the 
 double stitch. 
 
 Make 2 rows in the lightest shade, 2 rows 
 in the next shade, 2 rows in the 3rd shade 
 and 2 rows in the darkest shade. 
 
 Next row: Make 1 knot in the darkest 
 green and knot in the lightest blue, chang- 
 ing the yarn when pulling through in the 
 single crochet. 
 
 Make 1 row in the lightest blue and 1 row 
 in the darkest blue. 
 
 This will finish one side of the panel. 
 Now start in center with the lightest shade 
 and make 1 row, taking up on the other side 
 of the chain. Reverse the shades. 
 
 Make S panels. 
 
 For the panel with pattern use No. 5 hook. 
 This panel is worked cross wise in the single 
 crochet, with the next lightest shade in 
 green and the brown. Start with the green 
 and make a chain of 27 stitches. 
 
 1st row: Make 9 single crochet; take up 
 the loop for the 10th stitch and pull through 
 with the brown; then take up the loop for 
 the next stitch and pull through with the 
 green. This makes 1 brown stitch. Now 
 make 2 single crochet work in the brown 
 yarn, take up the loop for the 3rd stitch and 
 pull through with the brown. This makes 3 
 green stitches. Repeat, making 3 brown and 
 9 green single crochet (26). This will finish 
 1st row; make 1 chain, turn.

 INSTRUCTIONS 
 
 This little skirt is made in the single 
 crochet. The ruffle at the bottom holds it 
 firm and makes a pretty finish. 
 
 Begin at bottom of skirt and make a 
 chain of 134 yards. 
 
 Work 14 single crochet, 1 in each stitch 
 on the chain; then make 3 single crochet 
 in 15th stitch on the chain. That increases 
 
 2 stitches. This will make 1 scallop; re- 
 peat same until you have 13 scallops for 
 width of skirt. 
 
 End 1st row with the 3 single crochet in 
 1 stitch, then join by making 1 single cro- 
 chet on 1st single crochet on 1st row, tak- 
 ing up in the back of the stitches; work 5 
 more single crochet. 
 
 Make 1 single crochet in 7th, 8th and 
 9th single crochet on row below. (Take 
 up 1 loop for each single crochet and pull 
 through those 3 loops as 1.) That will de- 
 crease 2 stitches, then make 6 single cro- 
 chet, 1 in each stitch on row below. Make 
 
 3 single crochet in next stitch, the middle 
 one of the 3 single crochet made in 1 stitch 
 on 1st row, and that will increase 2 stitches. 
 
 Now work 6 single crochet and decrease 
 2, then 6 single crochet and increase 2 and 
 repeat same for every row until you have 
 25 rows, then narrow a little toward the 
 waist. 
 
 Next row: No increasing, follow the pat- 
 
 tern and decrease only, then you get 1 
 stitch less on each side of scallop. 
 
 Work 5 rows same as before. 
 
 Make 1 row without increasing, then 4 
 rows same as before. Work 1 row without 
 increasing and 4 rows again, then 1 row 
 without increasing and 2 rows. Make last 
 row in double crochet for the band. 
 
 Crochet ruffle at bottom of skirt. 
 
 Work 1 row in the double crochet with 
 1 chain between each double crochet, tak- 
 ing up in every stitch on row below, with 
 exception of making 2 double crochet at 
 the point of the scallops and skipping 1 
 stitch between the scallops. 
 
 Next row: Make a shell of 6 double 
 crochet between 2 double crochet on row 
 below. Repeat same to end of row, always 
 leaving 2 double crochet on row below be- 
 tween each shell. 
 
 Finish off ruffle with a picot edge: * 
 Make 1 single crochet on the shell; then 
 make a chain of 3 stitches and 1 single 
 crochet in 1st stitch on the chain. Repeat 
 from * making 4 picots for each shell. 
 
 Make a vest of sateen, 13 inches in length 
 from shoulder and 25 inches in width when 
 buttoned and sew skirt on same. 
 
 If different size is wanted make more or 
 less scallops for width and more or less 
 rows before narrowing.

 This sweater is knitted lengthwise in the 
 plain stitch with black and green yarn. The 
 buttons are knitted also. 
 
 Begin at left side front, use black yarn 
 and No. 13 needles. Cast on 190 stitches. 
 Divide the stitches on 2 needles and start 
 knitting with the 3rd one, or you could use 
 only 2 needles, carrying all the stitches on 
 1 needle, if you put a little sealing wax on 
 one end of each needle to prevent the 
 stitches from sliding off. (Knit 1st stitch 
 on first row and every time, when stitches 
 are added, slip 1st stitch on every row ex- 
 cept when changing the yarn, then knit 1st 
 stitch.) 
 
 Knit 2 rows plain (2 rows make 1 rib"). 
 Let the stitches run easy on needle. Knit 
 3rd row plain, add (cast on) 1 stitch and 
 knit 4th row plain. Make another rib and 
 add 1 stitch on same side as before. Three 
 ribs (6 rows) make 1 black stripe. 
 
 Start with the green yarn (at bottom of 
 sweater) and make 1 row plain, add 2 
 stitches (at neck of sweater) and purl the 
 stitches on next row. Two rows make 1 
 green stripe. 
 
 For every turning at the bottom of 
 sweater twist the threads around once to 
 keep the edge firm. 
 
 Repeat, making 1 black stripe, adding at 
 neck 1 stitch for each rib and 1 green stripe, 
 adding at neck 2 stitches, until you have 7 
 black and 7 green stripes. Add 16 stitches 
 to shoulder. (240 stitches is the length of 
 sweater.) Make 7 black and 7 green stripes. 
 
 Knit the pocket on the front part. Start 
 with green yarn at bottom of sweater and 
 pick up 45 stitches in the last row of the 
 5th black stripe from front edge (take up 1 
 stitch in each stitch of the row). Make 10 
 green and 9 black stripes for the pocket. 
 Start with the black yarn, as before, and 
 knit pocket in with the front part (take 1 
 stitch from each needle and knit as 1). 
 
 Make 2 black stripes and 1 green (9 black 
 and 8 green stripes the width of shoulder). 
 Bind off 63 stitches for armhole. Make 9 
 green and 8 black stripes. Add 63 stitches 
 for back. Make 29 black and 28 green 
 stripes for the width of back. Knit the 
 other side to correspond. 
 
 Sleeve: Cast on 50 stitches with black 
 yarn. Knit 1 rib and add 5 stitches. Knit 
 3rd row plain. Start with the green (at top 
 of sleeve) and add 5 stitches at end of row. 
 Repeat making the stripes, adding 5 stitches 
 for every turning toward the bottom of 
 sleeve, until the number of stitches is in- 
 creased by 95 (19 turnings). Add 20 more 
 stitches (165 stitches is the length of sleeve). 
 Make 25^2 black stripes from start. Make 
 the green stripe, then 2 ribs of the next 
 black stripe and start the binding off in 
 same order as you added. 
 
 Border: Make border to go around neck 
 down the front edges. Use black yarn, 
 work with 2 threads of the yarn and No. 10 
 needles. Cast on 12 stitches. Knit plain 
 forward and back, making the strip about 
 1-M yards long. 
 
 Make knitting a pastime — use SUNLIGHT yarns.

Cuff: Use black yarn (single) and No. 13 
 needles. Cast on 40 stitches and knit for 
 the length of 7 inches. 
 
 Buttons: Use black yarn and No. IS 
 needles. Cast on 30 stitches. Divide the 
 stitches on 3 needles, join to a circle and 
 knit plain 10 rows. 
 
 Start decreasing: 
 
 1st row: Knit 4, decrease 1 (knit 2 
 stitches together as 1). 
 
 2nd row: Plain. 
 
 3rd row: Knit 3, decrease 1. 
 
 4th row: Plain. 
 
 5th row: Knit 2, decrease 1. 
 
 6th row: Plain. 
 
 7th row: Knit 1, decrease 1. 
 
 8th row: Decrease 1 for every 2 stitches. 
 
 Break off the yarn a few inches from 
 work and with a darning needle run the 
 end of the yarn through the remaining 5 
 
 stitches, draw together and fasten. Use 
 the wrong side of work out, put the mould 
 in, run a thread through the edge, draw 
 together and fasten. 
 
 Sew garment together. 
 
 Put the sleeves in, so that seam of sleeve 
 comes in middle of side a little toward the 
 front. 
 
 Sew cuff on and turn up about 3 inches. 
 
 Sew border on, holding in the garment a 
 little around neck. 
 
 Sew together at bottom of pocket. 
 
 Make 1 row of the single crochet (in 
 black) on edge of border and at top of

 Directions for Washing Articles Made from 
 Worsted Yarns 
 
 Washing: Prepare a suds, not too strong, by shaving 
 Wool Soap into very hot water, not boiling; add a few- 
 drops of ammonia and a pinch of borax. 
 
 Allow the garment to stand in the suds for a few min- 
 utes, then move it gently back and forth through the suds 
 until clean. Do not rub soap on the article and do not 
 rub it with the hands. 
 
 Rinsing and Drying: Wring the garment lightly with 
 the hands, and rinse in clear warm water, moving it back 
 and forth as in the suds. Repeat the rinsing in a second 
 clear warm water; then wring the garment lightly with 
 the hands, shake slightly and dry quickly in the open air, 
 being careful not to stretch it.

 the work, in order to insure abso- 
 lute uniformity of shade.
