14) You are a shareholder in a "C" corporation. This corporation earns $4 per share before taxes.
After it has paid taxes, it will distribute the remainder of its earnings to you as a dividend. The
dividend is income to you, so you will then pay taxes on these earnings. The corporate tax rate is
35% and your tax rate on dividend income is 15%. The effective tax rate on your share of the
corporations earnings is closest to:
A) 15%
B) 35%
C) 45%
D) 50%
Answer: C
Explanation: C) First the corporation pays taxes. It earned $4 per share, but must pay $4 × .35 =
$1.40 to the government in corporate taxes. That leaves $4.00 - $1.40 = $2.60 to distribute to the
shareholders. However, the shareholder must pay $2.60 × .15 = $0.39 in income taxes on this
amount, leaving only $2.21 to the shareholder after all taxes are paid. The total amount paid in
taxes is $1.40 + 0.39 = $1.79. The effective tax rate is then $1.79 ÷ $4 = .4475 or 44.75% which
is closest to 45%.

 BASIC NEEDS AND KNOW HOW....
YARNS: Yarns vary in size, twist and texture. Use the “Dawn” Yarn
indicated in the directions as only an experienced expert knitter
knows how to allow for the difference when a substitution is made.
It is also very important to purchase all the yarn needed at one time
as different dye lots frequently have different shades of color.

When you purchase your yarn always check the dye lot number to
make certain they are all the same. It is much wiser to purchase a
little extra yarn than to try and match the dye lot after your garment
is finished. Though the color may look the same in the skein more
often than not the difference will be seen in the finished work. The
“ply” of yarn means the number of strands twisted together. This can
be seen by taking the end of the yarn and untwisting.

FUNDAMENTALS & SOME TIPS

Learn the basic stitches. There are only three: Knit, Purl and slip. All
the others are produced by variations and in combination with yarn
overs. See page 10.

Practice first with heavy yarn and thick needles. Study the stitch and
the position it takes on the needle. Follow arrows in illustration.
Learn to recognize when it is wrong. Watch the yarn to see where
each loop of the stitch begins and ends. If you lay your knitting
aside for a few days or longer, always rip back a few rows before
starting again. This will prevent an uneven row. See page 12 for
ripping back.
Parentheses in our instructions are used for an explanation of a st,
a certain section of a garment, or change of sts for change of size. A
ROW is once across the needle. A RIDGE is 2 rows, back and forth.
WORK EVEN, means to continue in pattern st keeping the
continuity of the design.

Always MEASURE straight up and down unless otherwise stated.

WINDING WOOL
Winding the wool correctly is important. Never wind wool tightly as
this stretches it. Wind several strands around fingers, slip these from
fingers. Over these strands, in opposite direction, wind a few more
strands wrapping yarn around fingers and ball. Continue in this
manner, always winding over fingers and in opposite direction from
last winding.

LEFT HAND KNITTING: Follow the instructions but change your

copy to read left hand where it says “right hand” and vice versa. Use
a mirror to study diagrams and charts. This will reverse the image
for you.

JOINING YARNS ... If possible, join the new yarn with a knot 6
at the beginning of a row. If this cannot be done, work next st
with new yarn leaving a 4 inch length. Work a few sts, tie the ends
firmly and with a yarn needle weave ends into work.

MARKER ... This term is used whenever it is important that a

certain point is to be marked. Example: increase, decrease,
beginning of a row or round, buttonholes, center st, etc. To make a
marker of yarn, use a different color; make a slip knot leaving ends
about 2 inches in length. Place on needle as directed. Slip marker off
one needle to the other needle in each successive round.
MULTIPLE OF STS ... This term is used generally at beginning of
directions and means that a certain multiple of sts is necessary to
work one pattern. Example: multiple of 4 sts would mean any
number divisible by 4 or 12, 16, 24 sts, etc. A multiple of 4 plus 2
would be 14, 18, 26 sts, etc., or any number that has 2 more sts
after dividing by 4.

NEEDLE TYPES
STRAIGHT NEEDLES ... are used when working back and forth in
rows. They come in lengths of 10, 12, and 14 inches and sizes O-1-
2-3, etc. The larger the number, the thicker the needle.

DOUBLE POINTED NEEDLES ... come in sets of 4 or 5. They are

used for socks, mittens and any articles made in rounds.

CIRCULAR NEEDLES ... are used in making skirts, or parts of

garments when a seam is not desired; also in completing a large
doily or a round tablecloth.

Directions give the size and type needle required and it is not
advisable to change the size unless it is necessary in order to obtain
the correct gauge.

CABLE NEEDLES ... are short with a bend in the center to hold sts
from slipping off. They are available in thin or thick size for the
different yarns. A short double pointed needle may also be used. It
is a good idea after placing sts on the straight needle to be used for
cable to stick needle into garment slightly, this will prevent sts from
slipping off needle.

STITCH HOLDERS ... are used to hold sts to be used later.

Example: sts at back of neck or when all sts are cast on and worked
to armholes, then divided for front and back. The stitch holders can
be purchased or a safety pin or length of yarn may be used.

STITCH COUNTERS ... usually placed on knitting needles. They

have a dial and after working a row, turn the dial to the next
number.

BOBBINS ... usually made of plastic to hold small amounts of yarn

for use in making argyle socks or the Fair Isle, Scandinavian or Ski
patterns.

GAUGE ... The stitch gauge which appears at the beginning of 7

all instructions is most important to the size and fit of your
garment. Before starting, make a sample swatch of the pattern stitch
with the needles and yarn specified. If you have MORE sts than
gauge use LARGER needles. If you have LESS sts than gauge use
SMALLER needles. Check your gauge as you progress to assure a
perfectly sized garment, Ill. No. 1.

CASTING ON
Allow about ½ inch for each st for fine yarn and 1 inch for each st
for heavy yarn. Make a slip knot on needle, Ill. No. 2. * Hold needle
in right hand, hold both lengths of yarn in left hand (see arrows)
having short end of yarn under and to outside of thumb and main
length of yarn under and to outside of forefinger, Ill. No. 3. Insert
needle through loop formed on thumb, pick up yarn on forefinger
and draw through loop, Ill. No. 4, let loop drop from thumb and
tighten st on right needle with thumb. Repeat from * leaving about
¼ inch between sts until required number of sts have been cast on,
Ill. No. 5.
 8

PLAIN KNITTING
Hold needle containing stitches in left hand. Follow arrows. * With
yarn in back of work, insert free needle from left to right in front of
st, yarn under and over point of needle and draw through st, slip
stitch just worked from left needle. Retain new stitch on right
needle. Repeat from * until all stitches are on right needle. 2nd
Row and Succeeding Rows: Place the needle holding stitches in
left hand with free needle in right hand. Insert free needle in 1st
stitch and complete same as 1st row.
 GARTER STITCH
K each st, K each row.

 15 Purl Side

RIBBING
Ribbing consists of an alternate number of Knit and Purl stitches. In
Knit 2, Purl 2 ribbing the number of stitches cast on is usually
divisible by 4. 1st ROW: K 2, P 2 across row. In the next row again
start with K 2. In ribbing, the smooth sts are knitted, the sts with
rough side are purled. In binding off ribbing Knit the Knit sts and
Purl the Purl stitches.
 TO DECREASE OR NARROW
In Knitting, Knit 2 sts together (Ill. No. 17), in Purling, Purl 2 sts
together.

PASS SLIP STITCH OVER (P.S.S.O.)

(another method of decreasing).... In knitting instructions p.s.s.o.
means to slip 1 st, K (or P) next st, then pass the slip st over the K
(or P) st by inserting left needle into slip st on right needle and
passing over the K st on right needle. Follow arrows in illustrations.
 TO INCREASE
Knit or Purl 1 st (as directions call for), but do not slip stitch from left
needle (Ill. No. 22 & 23). Knit or Purl into back of same st, then slip
stitch off needle (Ill. No. 24).

Illustration shows a Knit increase.

 YARN OVER....
Unless otherwise instructed when knitting, bring yarn forward and
over right needle to back, K next st. When Purling bring yarn over
and under right needle and to front, P next st. The yarn over 11
forms a loop on needle which is worked as a stitch, it is used
usually for lacy patterns and beadings.
 BIND OFF
Do not bind off too tightly.

Knitting: K 2 sts, * pass the 1st stitch over the 2nd stitch: follow
arrows (Ill. 27, 28, 29), K next st, repeat from * until one stitch
remains on right needle, cut yarn and draw through last st.

PURLING: P 2 sts, * pass 1st stitch over 2nd stitch, P next st,
repeat from * until one stitch remains on right needle, cut yarn and
draw through last st. Not illustrated.

IN PATTERN: Either Knit or Purl st to be bound off as it would have

been worked in corresponding row of pattern, then bind off for
knitting or purling whichever pattern calls for. Not illustrated.
