As this yarn varies great-, ly in weight a heavy responsibility rests with supervisors in helping knit ters to decide how many "stitches to use.' The Division urges the use of the now sweater directions, especially for heavy yarn, becauso there is con siderable saving. The method of knitting the shoulders and arm hole' is ornamental and nt the same time very essential as it prevents rolling.' Swentors should bo 17 to 20 inches in w'dth, fcut a taw, may be accepted as narrow as 15 inches In width. The desired length, however, as given in tho latest directions from Washington is 22 inches from the neck.
