The knitting of patterns will be a particular pleas-

of the PASSAP 20 is unrivalled. You do not

Automatic Pattern Device will help you to either
knit, interrupt, or repeat again the pattern you
have chosen,
depending on requirements. It is so
easy, so simple ...
B ut there is one thing of impor tance: Please
follow step by step the instruc tions given here-
after. Each
figure and paragraph has a very
di st inct purpose, and that is to teach you the
easiest way of PASS A P knitting. If you will care-
fully follow this "Instruction Course" , you will
soon be an accomplished PASS A P artist.
And
now - enjoy yourself! Wishing you many
happy hours of successful knitting,
Yours
