Best Answer

woman knit socks/ stockings ( taller then socks) / mittens / and waistcoats

it was done on small needles with fine threads and very poor instructions if they could find instructions ..

almost all was knit stitch seamless

the waistcoats were worn underclothing and tightly fitted to keep warm .. they would be the equivalent to a tight closely knit sweater worn under your clothing ..

there was no real flair and style .. knitting was for useful items so it had to be strong , closely knit and warm ..

Needle and thread, almost exactly as hand sewing is done now. The sewing machine was still a few years down the road in Colonial times.
