of each star all around, with 4 trebles in eye of
star at corners, so as to make the work lie smoothly.
24. With color, fasten in at top of left front, chain 3, and make 2
trebles between each 2 trebles of last row, with 4 at corners.
25. Same as 24th row, with white wool.
26. Across top of neck make spaces of trebles, separated by 2 chain, in
which to run cord or ribbon.
27. Also with white, make 2 trebles in every space.
28. With color, make 2 trebles between each group of last row.
29. Like 28th row, with white. This completes the collar.
30. Fasten color at top of left front, * chain 4, fasten in space
between trebles, repeat from * around the jacket, collar and all; fasten
off neatly.
For the sleeve:
1. Fasten wool where you started the underarm chain, make the required
number of stars (not widening) across shoulder, and 9 stars on the chain
under the arm.
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Same as 1st row, making star over star
of previous row, and joining underneath the arm.
12. With color, work the cuff in star-stitch, only omit taking the
stitch under the back loop of star in last row, and take a loop through
each of 2 eyes of stars instead, thus drawing in the sleeve, and making
only 12 stars in the round.
13. With the color, make star in star.
14. Using white wool, make 2 trebles in eye of each star.
15, 16, 17. Same as 28th, 29th and 30th rows of border.
This makes a dainty, soft little garment. If one likes, treble stitch
may be alternated with star-stitch, on the return rows; that is, after
making a row of stars, instead of breaking the wool, turn, chain 3, and
make trebles across, or the trebles may be crossed to give a more fancy
effect, making a treble in 2d stitch, then a treble back in preceding
stitch.
Run ribbon matching the colored wool, or cord and tassels made of both
white and color, in the spaces around the neck.
