Subject: KNIT: 5-Hour Baby Sweater!

This pattern was received by Sue Hulbert, sent to her by Anne Stoddard,
was typed in by Jo Azary), and attempted-to-be-posted to the KnitList 
by Samantha Garbers and finally posted by Jo as Samantha's post got 
lost in cyberspace.

From Anne:
Here is the explanation that I gave Sue H. when I sent her the pattern. 
In approximate the year of 1950, I was frequenting a small yarn shop in my
town run by two elderly sisters, one of them was very kind to me as she
loved that I both knitted and crocheted.  She wrote out this pattern for
me to knit for my new little sisters that my mother was 'continuously'
having (VBG). There are 8 of us.  The two sisters have since gone to the
big Yarn Store in the Sky but I remember their kindnesses every time I
knit the sweater.  I also gave this pattern to the women in the BAKG that
knit for Charity for me and we have produced over a hundred baby sweaters
for the maternity home "Siena House" in the Bronx.
I sincerely hope that the women knitting from this pattern give at least
one sweater to charity as this is what I meant the pattern to be used for.

5-HOUR BABY SWEATER

Requires 4 oz. worsted weight & size 10 1/2 needle
There is no gauge.

  Where the pattern indicates to inc 1, do the increase by knitting
   in the front and back of the stitch.  If you use a YO, you will end
   up with way too many stitches (e.g., for *inc 1 k1* done with a
   YO, you will end up increasing _every_ stitch, instead of every
   _other_ stitch).


Cast on 34 stitches.

Note: keep 3-stitch garter border on front.
   Instructions appearing between *'s are to be repeated across the
row.
