Table of Contents

It is usually considered necessary to introduce works of any description, however trifling, with a few prefatory remarks. Happily the days of dedication are nearly at their close, and an author has now only to direct the attention of the reader to any particular leading features.

I trust that my endeavours in this Knitting Book, in the elementary instructions contained, with the full explanation of terms and carefully executed illustrations, are conveyed with a distinctiveness, easily to be comprehended by the learner. The designs are original, and have repeatedly been worked with great care, to prove their correctness; the illustrations have equally shared my supervision; and I humbly hope and trust that it may be as successful, and give as much satisfaction to my friends and the public, as my Crochet Book, for which I am amply rewarded by its unprecedented success, and grateful for the many flattering testimonials received. I must here also make some observations upon the many cheap publications that have recently appeared (two of which have copied verbatim my illustrated instructions, even to a fault in the drawing), and to direct the attention of those of my readers competent to understand the many plagiarisms and general unfitness as works of instruction, of the majority, if not the whole of those publications. I should hope, and it is needless to say, that these remarks proceed not from the impulse of a spirit of rivalry, but from a sincere conviction that the details and instructions therein conveyed are calculated seriously to mislead, if not entirely prevent and disgust the student from acquiring a proper knowledge of these elegant and useful employments, by their incorrectness; that, in short, they are nothing more than very imperfect arrangements, copied from the really useful Works that have been hitherto published, and tend quite as much to injure those Who publish from experience, as those who learn in order to derive instruction or add information to their previous knowledge.
