21st.—Like 9th.
22nd.—Like 10th.
23rd —Like 11th.
24th and 25th.—Like 12th.
26th.—Forms half the band at the back. + 2 dc., 5 o., (a) turn; 5 ch., miss 2, 4 o., 2 dc., + 4 times between the crosses, and then to (a) once,. Slip down the upper side to the top of the last dc. stitch, in the twentieth row; so the first row of the follow point is merely a continuation of the twenty-sixth row.
1st.—Triangular Point: 2 ch., miss 2, 8 o., 1 dc., turn, 3 ch., miss 2, 8 o., (taking care that the dc. stitches come over those of the previous row), 1 dc., turn, 3 ch., miss 2, 7 o., 1 dc. on dc., turn, 3 ch., miss 2, 6 o., 1 dc. on dc., turn, 3 ch., miss 2, 5 o., 1 dc. on dc., turn, 3 dc., miss 2, 4 o., 1 dc, on dc., turn, 3 ch., miss 2, 3 o., 1 dc. on dc., turn, 3 ch., miss 2, 2 o., 1 dc., on dc., turn, 3 ch., miss 2, 1 o., 1 dc. on dc., turn, 5 ch., miss 3 dc, on dc.; slip stitch up the side of this point to the twenty-sixth row again, which is thus entirely formed by the first rows of the points. Work five points and you will have stitches enough left for five open squares at the end, which are to be worked to correspond with the other half of the band at the back of the neck. Sew the ends of the bands together, leaving the Vandyke loose.
Work round the inside of the band and round the Vandyke, thus:—
1st round.—5 ch., miss 2, 1 sc.
2nd.—1 sc. under the chain, 6 ch.; repeat.
It will then be necessary to put a border to the cap itself; and either any pretty one may be worked on that is already given in this work, or, if a narrow one be preferred, the following may be adopted:—
