Fig. 31. One-and-One Tuck Stitch. 97 84 KNITTING In knitting by hand, a latch needle will knit, tuck or purl thestitch. When knitting the stitch, the needle takes a new loop ofthread and casts off a loop onto it, forming a completed stitch. W^ientucking the stitch, the needle takes the new thread into the hook butdoes not cast off the partly formed stitch. When purling, the needleneither takes the new yarn nor casts off the old loop, but retains thestitch previously made by it. The most commonly used of these modifications of the plain-ribstitch are the tuck stitch, variously called half-cardigan, royal rib orsweater stitch, and the tuck stitch known as the cardigan stitch. The Half=Cardigan, or Royal Rib Stitch (Fig. 31), is usuallymade by projecting the needles of the inside set not quite far
