[Illustration: Set No. 2]

Jacket.--Cast on 52 stitches and knit 60 rows or 30 ribs; cast on 26
stitches for sleeve, knit back and cast on 26 stitches for the other
sleeve. Knit 34 rows, then knit 43 stitches, bind off 18 stitches for
the neck, knit remaining 43 stitches, and on these continue with the
front. Knit 6 rows, then continue knitting back and forth, adding a
stitch at the end of each row toward the front for 22 rows, which will
give 11 extra stitches; knit 6 rows without widening, then bind off 26
stitches, and knit remainder of front to correspond with the back.

Knit the other front in same way, sew up sleeves and underarm seams,
work around the neck with double crochet, in color, 1 chain between, and
around the body of the jacket with shells of three trebles in a stitch,
miss space of two ribs; repeat. With the gray make 2 trebles, picot of 3
chain caught in last treble and 1 treble around neck, and between 1st
and 2d trebles of shells around body of jacket. Finish edge of sleeves
in the same way, and run in cord and balls.

For the Hood.--Cast on 64 stitches, knit 28 ribs, then 2 ribs of color
and 2 of gray; bind off, sew up the back of hood where cast on, finish
around the neck with double crochet, space of 2 chain between, using
color, work the shells around front of hood, and finish with the shells
of gray, as for jacket. Run in the cord, with balls of the two colors of
yarn.

The cords may be done in plain crochet, the ordinary chain or, as
preferred because stronger, knotted by what is called the "fool's
delight" method, although why named thus it is impossible to say. Surely
it seems a very sensible way: Take a length of yarn six times as long as
the cord is wanted; make a slip or half knot at one end and pass the
other end down through it to form a loop, then tie the ends of yarn
together. Hold this knot between thumb and forefinger of one hand, say
the right, with the yarn which pulls through the knot under the same
hand, and the loop which was formed held on the forefinger; hold the
yarn which does not pull in the left hand, pass the forefinger of the
left hand through the loop on right forefinger from front to back, catch
up and pull through the non-pulling or left-hand thread--exactly as you
would make a chain-stitch in crochet--transfer the knot (which ties the
two ends together) to the thu
