Make sufficient of the Scallop Trimming, [page 11], to go round the Lappet, using the colored wool doubled, and the smaller mesh for the pearl loops. For the crochet row the wool is to be single.
The Joining—work with the Floss Silk, which had better be used double. Commence at the colored row, round the Lappet, and work a plain crochet stitch; then take out the needle and put it into the last stitch of the Scallop Trimming, taking both edges of the plain row, bring the Floss through; then work another plain stitch on the lappet, taking both edges, continue joining and working a plain stitch alternately.
Work a row of Cross stitches with the Floss silk up the centre.
Make the other Lappet the same, sew them to the crown and attach two flowers at each side.
MAZARIN CAPE.
Materials—For the Cape, 4 ounces of single or double Wool, and for the Trimmings 3 skeins of double Berlin Wool of a color which contrasts; Walker’s Tricot Needle No. 7 Bell gauge, a large Tatting Shuttle, and a round Mesh No. 1 Bell gauge.
This Cape is worked in open Crochet ornamented with Tatting, see the [Frontispiece].
It will be greatly improved if Floss Silk is introduced as described in the Opera Hood. The centre should then be white with colored Trimming, but any two colors that contrast will look well, as Pearl Grey with Crimson, Mauve with Amber, or Violet with Grey.
