make also a double in each stitch of 5 chain.
For the sleeve: Chain 80 stitches, with 1 to turn, work a rib of doubles
on the chain, then 40 star-stitches. Repeat until there are 10 rows of
star-stitch and 11 ribs, taking care, as before, that the stars are
worked on the right side always. Join the sleeve-seam on the wrong side
with single crochet, as you did the back.
For the cuff: Work 12 rounds of double crochet, 1 double in each stitch
and turn back. Sew the sleeves into the armholes, and sew on buttons of
a size appropriate to the garment and corresponding with the
buttonholes.
This sweater may be very easily enlarged to any desired size by starting
with a longer chain and making more rows of star-stitch and ribs to keep
the proportion. The combination of stitches is a most attractive one.
Child's Jacket
[Illustration: Child's Jacket]
Materials required are three skeins of cream-white Saxony and one skein
of blue or pink, with a bone hook of suitable size to carry the yarn
smoothly.
Make a chain of 78 stitches.
1. On the chain make 8 stars, widen, (1 star, widen, 9 stars, widen)
twice, 1 star, widen, 8 stars. Break and fasten wool, and fasten in
again at beginning of row so as to have all stars made on the right
side. Or, one can work back with a row of doubles to beginning of 1st
row.
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Same as 1st row, except that you widen only every
other row, and always exactly in the center. Keep 8 stars on each front,
thus constantly increasing the upper portion of the sleeve, or gore
between 1st and 2d and 4th and 5th widenings.
9. Make 8 stars, chain 22 for armhole, fasten in 1st star on the back,
continue the stars across the back, chain 22, and make 8 stars across
front again.
10. Same as preceding row, making 11 stars on chain under each arm.
11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. Same as 10th row, widening only
in center of back every other row, as at first. This completes the body
of the jacket.
21. Commencing the border, fasten in the colored wool at left front
corner of neck, and make 21 stars down the front. At the corner make 2
stars as if to widen, in order to turn the corner neatly, and continue
all the way around to top of right front, not widening at all in the
back of border, but making 2 stars to turn the corner as at first.
22. Stars all around, of color.
23. Fasten in the white wool at top of left front, chain 3, then make 2
trebles in the eye
