Having become well acquainted with the stitches and patterns described in the previous chapter, you are competent to go on with the more intricate ones described in this chapter.
A pretty doll's cap is made of silk. Without a silk padded lining the cap will be just the thing for the warmer months.
Doll's Cap.
Begin by winding silk around a lead pencil 12 times: make 24 s c over this.
2nd row—Make 2 s c in every s c on first row.
3rd row—S c in every s c on 2nd row.
Continue widening often enough to keep the work nearly flat (to do this two s c instead of one are worked upon the one of the preceding row). This completes the solid work of the crown.
4th row—Ch 3, make 3 d c in same stitch, skip 4 d c in next st. Continue around entire crown.
5th row—Make a shell of 6 d c in centre of each shell of 4 d c, leaving off within 7 shells of last row.
