Mary Frances found the old rose and gray flosses, and set about making the scarf. It was very little trouble, for the magic needle darted ahead just as in making the shawl, and very soon the little scarf was finished.
“Isn’t it pretty?” cried Mary Frances. “How happy I shall be to make the caps or hats. Do they come next?”
“No,” answered the Yarn Baby, “not yet.”
“I will tell you why,” said Fairly Flew. “It is because they would be too difficult for you to make now. You must learn to make the simplest things first. Then you will climb right up in the work.”
“She hasn’t made anything in double crochet stitch,” Crow Shay whispered to Wooley Ball.
“I know,” whispered Wooley Ball. “Wouldn’t it be nice if she could make her dolly a warm petticoat with double crochet stitch?”
“Indeed it would,” Crow Shay whispered again. “I often wish I had one.”
“Had what?” asked Wooley Ball.
“A petticoat, of course,” Crow Shay answered.
“That is just what comes next,” said the Yarn Baby, overhearing, “and I will give the directions at once.”
