Show CHILDREN'S STOCKINGS ARC 400-10 Sept. 1939 Code K 11 Casting on and binding off MUST be loose. These directions rre based on a yarn of suitable weight for socks and Red Cross Needles Ho, 1. "hen yarn or needles are larger or smaller than these, the number of stitches must be proportionately decreased or increased. To measure the stocking, lay it on a level surface and measure with a depend¬able measure (wood, metal, or celluloid, not a tape line). Always join threads by splicing or by running threads through each ether with worsted needle. Tie finished stockings loosely together in pairs at top of leg, in such a way that the hand can be inserted for inspection and attach a marker of some sort which tells the size of the stocking. If stocking is thin at point of gusset, reinforce by darning on wrong side very lightly with a split thread of yarn.
