“ When enlarging a patterned garment be sure to add enough stitches for a complete pattern. When enlarging a plain garment multiply the stitches required for 1 inch by the number of inches necessary for the extra width. For a smaller size cast on as many less stitches as are required for 1 inch. Continue knitting in extra or lesser length to underarm, for armhole and for sleeves. ”

“ They are closely knitted to insure a firm fabric that will wear better and keep its shape longer than a loosely knitted fabric. Check your tension. Before beginning your garment take the wool and needles specified. Cast on 20 stitches. Work 20 rows stocking stitch and compare with the tension given in the instruction. All given tension in Beehive instructions is measured over stocking stitch. If your tension is too loose try a size smaller needle. If your tension is too tight try a size larger needle. ”

“ When design has been worked break all wools except ball (M) . With (M) , work 3 rows Stocking st. With (Y) , purl 1 row. With (M) continue even in Stocking st. until work from beginning measures 71⁄2 ins. (6 mos.—71⁄2 ins.) (9 mos.—8 ins.) ending with purl row.
To shape armholes: Cast off 3 sts. beginning next 2 rows, then dec. 1. st. each end of needle next and every alternate row to 58 sts. on needle. Continue even in Stocking st. until armhole from first shaping measures 23⁄4 ins. (6 mos.—31⁄4 ins.) (9 mos.—31⁄4 ins.) ”
