s on the
needle, chain 1, * insert hook in same space, draw up a loop, over,
insert hook in next space, draw up a loop, over, draw through all
stitches on needle, chain 1, and repeat, widening by putting 2 stitches
in every 3d of previous round.

4. Widen in every 5th stitch.

5. Plain, that is, without widening.

6. Widen every 3d stitch.

7, 8, 9. Plain.

10. Plain to within 7 stitches of the end; break wool and fasten in at
other end again.

11, 12, 13, 14, 15. Same as 10th row, leaving the 7 stitches for back of
neck.

16. Fasten in, chain 3, and work a treble in every stitch. It is very
pretty to use a thread of ice-wool with the Germantown when making the
border.

17, 18. A double in each stitch around bottom or neck of hood.

19, 20, 21, 22, 23. A double in each stitch across front, working in
both veins of stitch.

Turn back the border, finish with a bow of ribbon at back, a rosette on
top, and ribbon ties.

To make the hood larger you have but to continue widening the crown
until of proper size, which will make the front proportionally longer
and leave the neck wider. Any fancy stitch may be used in the same way,
following the general directions given.

Child's Toque in Wedge-Stitch

[Illustration: Child's Toque in Wedge-Stitch]

This pretty cap, which will fit a girl of ten to fourteen years, and is
easily enlarged to any desired size, requires five hanks of
eiderdown-wool. If desired, two colors may be used, say white for cap
and blue for the turnover or border. It is worked in wedge-stitch, and
Germantown wool may be used by making more stitches. Use a bone hook of
suitable size, that is, one which will carry the wool easily without
catching in it. Make a chain of 4 stitches and join.

1. Draw out the loop, insert hook in ring, draw up a loop, wool over,
insert hook in ring, draw up another loop, wool over, draw through all
the loops on needle, chain 1, and repeat until you have 11
wedge-stitches in the ring; join.

2. Draw up loop, insert hook in 1st space, draw up a loop, wool over,
hook in next space, draw up a loop, wool over, draw through all loops on
needle, chain 1, * hook in same space, draw up a loop, wool over, hook
in next space, draw up a loop, wool over, draw through all on hook,
chain 1, and repeat from *, widening by making an extra stitch in every
other stitch of last round.

3. Widen in every 3d stitch.

4. Widen in every 6th stitch.
