_To increase_, or _make a double stitch_, is to knit one stitch in the
usual way, then, without slipping out the left hand needle, to pass
the thread forward and knit a second stitch, putting the needle
under the stitch. The thread must be put back when the stitch is
finished.
_Hang on_, means cast on.
_Bring the thread forward_, means to pass it between the needles
towards you.
_Cast over_ is a term I believe sometimes used by knitters, to
signify, bring the cotton forward. I have only used it to express,
bring the cotton over the needle, quite round.
_Round the needle_, means the same as the last term.
_Reversed_, means quite round the needle, the cotton being passed
_over_ the needle, and then carried back to its place.
_Together_, means knit 2 stitches in 1.
_Set_, or _Tuft_, the bunches of cotton used in making some of the
Fringes.
_To widen_ means to increase.
The netting meshes are numbered from the knitting needle gauge, as I am
not aware there is any other rule for them.
