el, or ribbon. The hood requires from twenty-five to thirty yards. [Illustration] Little Girl's Hat This requires twenty-five yards of round web. Measure the child's head for the size of the hat. Start the crown in the same way as the circular mat. When it is five inches in diameter, gradually turn the crown, while sewing the next five or six rows. When the desired width is reached, begin forming the side by sewing one stitch of web into one stitch of the crown, keeping each row exactly under the preceding row until the desired height is obtained; then gradually widen to form the rim, which is three and a half or four inches broad. Do not widen any on the last two rows, but draw the web a little tighter while sewing to make the edge of the rim roll or turn inward. Finish with cord and tassels around the crown, or pompons on the right or left side of the front of the hat. [Illustration] Doll's Sweater This is made of five and one-half yards of flat web cut into pieces of a desired length. Cut three pieces seven inches long for the front. One inch and a half of this will also form the neck. When cutting, clip only one stitch and pull out the ends. The next two pieces are cut five and one-half inches long and sewed one on each side of the front one inch and a half below the top end. Each succeeding row is made a little shorter to form the shoulder, the shortest pieces forming the outside edges. Make the back of the sweater in the same way and sew front and back together, leaving one and a quarter inch opening on each side for the sleeves. The sleeve is made of five pieces, the longest piece being three inches, and the shortest two and one-half inches long. Sew these pieces together to form the sleeve. When sewing it into the sweater, place the longest part at the shoulder seam and stretch the armhole while sewing it in. [Illustration] Wristlets These are made of round or flat web. Each wristlet requires one and one-half yards. Measure five inches, the length of the wristlet, and turn. Start sewing from this point and sew to the end of the five inches and turn again. Continue until enough rows are sewed to make the wristlet the desired width, which in this model is two and one-half inches. [Illustration] Shoulder Shawl This may be made of round or flat web, and of any desired size. If the shawl is to be thirty-six inches long, clip the web int
