Transcriber’s Note:
New original cover art included with this eBook is granted to the public domain.
In this, the Fourteenth Edition of the Utopia Yarn Book, you will find many exceptionally novel ideas for Knitting and Crocheting, embodying a carefully selected line of the very latest creations of Sweater Coats. All the new and most delightful garments and articles illustrated throughout this book owe a great deal of their charm to the fact that they have been worked with Utopia Yarns. Their excellence lies not only in their softness, elasticity and evenness of thread, but in the variety of styles and brilliant color lines as well. To secure the best results in the Art of Knitting and Crocheting, only the best yarns should be used. We therefore recommend this book (for instructions) and Utopia Yarns to attain this end. There is a Utopia Yarn for every purpose.
To avoid committing the error so frequently made of publishing a lot of directions that are difficult to understand, or which involve an amount of labor all out of proportion to the result attained, we have employed a well-known expert to write the instructions in the Utopia Yarn Book.
Every one of the standard stitches is so clearly illustrated and the directions are so concise and to the point, that the novice will have no difficulty in understanding them, while the great number of novelties illustrated make the book of unusual interest and value to the expert.
Full and explicit instructions are given right from the making of the stitch to the completion of the finished garment, while the styles selected in every case are such as afford an excellent return for the work involved.

Make a loop on the left-hand needle, slip the right-hand needle into this loop, * pass wool around the point of needle, draw the wool through and slip the loop forward on to the left-hand needle, slip right-hand needle into the loop just made, repeat from * until the required number of loops or sts. are on left-hand needle.
Tie a slip knot with the wool holding needle in right-hand, * slip needle in loop just made, pass wool around forefinger and thumb of left-hand, holding wool underneath fourth and fifth fingers in palm of hand, insert needle under wool of forefinger and over wool between thumb and forefinger and draw the wool which is now over needle between thumb and forefinger up through space, release wool from thumb and forefinger, drawing loop up on needle to form the new loop or st., repeat from * until required number of loops or sts. are on needle, pass needle to left-hand.
Having the required number of sts. on left-hand needle, * slip right-hand needle into front of st. on left-hand needle, pass wool around right-hand needle, and draw this loop through to form the new st. Leave the loop on right-hand needle, dropping the st. from left-hand needle, repeat from * until all sts. are on right-hand needle.
Pass the wool in front of right-hand needle, take up the st. on left-hand needle, inserting the needle from right to left, instead of usual way in knitting; pass wool around the back of right-hand needle.
Draw this loop through backward instead of forward to form the new st. Leave the loop on right-hand needle, drop the st. from left-hand needle, being careful to carry the wool back of needle after a purled st. before knitting a plain st.
First Row—* Slip right-hand needle into front of st. on left-hand needle, pass wool around right-hand needle, and draw this loop through, leave the loop on right-hand needle, drop same from left-hand needle, repeat from * until all sts. are knit on right-hand needle.
Second Row—* Pass wool in front of right-hand needle, inserting the needle from right to left instead of front of st. as in plain knitting, pass wool around back of right-hand needle and draw this loop through backward instead of forward, leave loop on right-hand needle, drop st. from left-hand needle, repeat from * until all sts. are purled.
Repeat the first and second rows alternately, the right side of work will be plain knit, No. 8, and will show the same results as when knitting in rounds as on a stocking; the left of work side is purled, No. 9.
Take a st. from left-hand needle on to the right-hand needle without knitting it.
Cast on an even number of sts., * slip right-hand needle into front of st. on left-hand needle, pass wool around right-hand needle, and draw this loop through, leave loop on right-hand needle, drop st. from left-hand needle, pass the wool in front of right-hand needle, take up the st. on left-hand needle, inserting needle from right to left, pass wool around the back of right-hand needle, and draw this loop through backwards, leave loop on right-hand needle, drop the st. from left-hand needle, care being taken to carry wool back of needle after this purl st., repeat from *.
K. the st. as usual, leaving it on the left-hand needle, then k. the back of same st., drop the st. from left-hand needle; this makes two sts. out of one.
Slip one st., k. the next st., pass the slipped st. over the knitted one.
Note—Where it is necessary to decrease the number of sts. the slipped is passed over two or sometimes three sts. knitted together.
Either slip or k. the first st., k the next st., pass the first st. over the second st. * K. the next st., pass the st. on right-hand needle over it, repeat from * until as many sts. are bound off as are required, or that but one st. is left, draw wool through this st., and break off wool.
Another way to bind off is by using a crochet hook, have all sts. on the left-hand needle, insert hook in the first st. on knitting needle, wool over hook and draw through loop on knitting needle, drop the st. from needle, * insert hook in next st. on knitting needle, over and draw through the st. on knitting needle, and the loop on hook, drop the st. from needle, repeat from * until all sts. are bound off, ch. 1, break off wool.

Do this from * to * 4 times.
You now have 56 sts. on needles and are ready for the heel.
Divide all sts. on 2 needles, to be called “front” and “heel” needles respectively.
Have “middle back” st. in middle of “heel” needle.
You are now to k. back and forth on “heel” needle only, as follows:
Semi-double heel—* Slip 1, k. 1, slip 1, k. 1 to end of “heel” needle, always slipping first st. (If correct, last st. is knitted.) Turn, slip first st. and purl all sts. to beginning of “heel” needle.*

* K. to the st. before the “hole.” Slip that st., k. 1, slip slipped st. over, k. 1, and turn.*
Repeat from * to * until all stitches are taken up.
Divide sts. on “heel” needle on 2 needles designated right and left.
Pick up all sts. on right and left sides of heel piece, always picking up loop on wrong side of sock, usually 14 sts. on each side, and k. once around to center of heel.
On “heel” needles narrow every other row on ends of needles next to “front” needle, as follows:

On the first end of “right” needle slip 1, k. 1, slip the slipped st. over, and complete row to middle of heel.

Narrow the toe as follows: K. 2 together, k. 5, k. 2 together, k. 5, continue once around. Then k. 5 rows without narrowing. Then a row of narrowing with interval of 4 sts. and 4 plain rows; 3 sts. and 3 plain rows, and 2 sts. and 2 plain rows, until you have only 24 sts. left. After last narrowing k. 2 rows plain, and then divide sts. on 2 needles, 12 on “front” needle, 12 on “heel” needle. Break off wool thread length and use darning needle.
Holding the knitting needles together with “front” needle next to you, wool at right end of “heel” needle, we are now ready to finish the “Kitchener toe.”
With wool always under knitting needles and at right of darning needle, slip darning needle through the first “front” st. in the 95position of “knitting” and slip st. off the knitting needle.
Slip darning needle through second “front” st. in the position of “purling” and leave st. on the knitting needle, making a “prepared” st. Draw wool close as in knitting.
Slip darning needle trough first “heel” st., as in “purling.” and slip st. off knitting needle. Slip darning needle through second “heel” st. as in “knitting,” and leave st. on knitting needle as a “prepared” st. Now slip darning needle through second “front” st. in position of “knitting” and slip st. off knitting needle. Slip darning needle through third “front” st. in position of “purling” to “prepare.”
