and continue same as for cuffs,
widening as directed and twice putting 6 trebles under each of 2
consecutive loops in outer row. Join at beginning and end of each row to
upper edge of jacket-border.

Finish with a border of loops, as follows: A double between blocks,
(chain 3, a double in same place) twice. Crochet a chain of the blue
yarn and use this to lace under the arms, finishing the ends with loops
as for the edge, and tying in a bow. Make a shorter chain for each cuff,
lace together and tie in a little bow to the sleeve. A similar chain is
used to draw in the neck.

Any preferred colors may, of course, be used. The jacket can be easily
made large enough for an adult, and is beautiful in blue-and-white
Saxony for a baby.

Babies' Jacket

[Illustration: Babies' Jacket]

Materials required are three skeins of Saxony yarn, one spool
silk-finished crochet-cotton or crochet-silk, and two and one-half yards
of No. 1 ribbon. Use a hook which will carry the yarn easily.

Make a chain of 100 stitches, turn.

1. Miss 1st 4 stitches, make a treble in each of 96 stitches, drawing
up to about five-eighths of an inch. Break and fasten wool (this so the
work will be done on the right side; one may turn, if preferred, but the
effect is not so good).

2. Fasten in where you began, pull up, make 2 trebles in top of 3d
treble and 1 treble back to where you fastened in, which makes a cross;
repeat, making 32 crosses in all; break thread and again join in at the
end where you began.

3. Make 21 trebles over 7 crosses, (12 trebles over next 2, 18 trebles
over 6 crosses) twice, 12 over 2, and again 21 over 7, which brings you
to end of row. The 12 trebles over 2 are to widen; the others are made 2
on each cross and 1 between.

4. Same as 2d row, 38 crosses.

5. Make 21 trebles plain (that is, 3 over each cross). 24 over 4
crosses, 21 plain, 12 over 2 crosses, 21 plain, 24 over next 4, 21
plain.

6. Forty-eight crosses.

7. Make 21 plain, 12 over next 2 crosses, 12 plain, (12 over next 2, 24
plain) twice, 12 over next 2, 12 plain, 12 over next 2, 21 plain.

8. Fifty-eight crosses.

9. Make 24 plain, miss 12 crosses, 24 plain, 12 over next 2, 24 plain,
miss 12 crosses, 24 plain.

10. Thirty-six crosses.

11. Plain, with 3 extra trebles under each arm, and 6 extra over the 6
crosses at center of back.

12. Forty crosses.

13. Plain, with 6 extra in back.

14. Forty-two crosses.

15. Like 13th row.
