For a Baby's Hood--very pretty.

Done on 2 needles, No. 10, in German wool. Cast on 7
stitches, for the crown.

First row:--Knit 1 stitch, and bring the wool forward before
each of the other 6 stitches.

Knit a plain row.

Third row:--Knit 2 stitches, make 1, knit 2, make 1. A plain
row is knit between every increased one.

Next row:--Make 1 between every 3 stitches, then between
every 4, and so on, only increasing in the same plan, that is, 6
times in every other row, till you have 16 stitches between every
increased stitch. Then knit a plain row.

Next row:--Make 1, and knit 2 stitches together alternately
throughout the row, cast off 12 stitches on each side of your pins,
knit 2 plain rows.

Next row:--Make 1, and knit 2 stitches together alternately.

Knit 2 plain rows.

Next row:--Make 1, and knit 2 stitches together alternately.
Knit 8 plain rows.

Next row:--Knit 12, make 1, knit 12, make 1, and repeat.

Knit a plain row, and continue commencing with 12 stitches
every other row, making 1 between every 12 stitches, so that in
every other row there is an additional stitch between every increasing.
Continue the plain and increased row alternately, in the
whole making 30 rows.

When the hood is made up, satin ribbon is first run between
the holes, and then turned back, and stuffed with wool. It is
turned over to the second of the 8 plain rows. Satin ribbon is
run between the 3 rows of holes and the increased parts down the
crown, which is sewed up. The curtain, or frill, is sewed to the
back part, and is knit as follows:--Cast on 64 stitches, knit 18
plain rows, then take up the stitches at each side, and knit a plain
row; bring the wool forward, and knit 2 together for the row, 1
plain row, cast off, then draw the ribbon through the holes, and
sew on the frill. The crown is neatly lined with white Persian,
and strings of sarcenet added. A rosette of ribbon is an improvement.
Pink, white, or blue wool, is the best colour to knit this
hood in.
