Ladies' Petticoat Materials. — Twelve skuin-^ of Lream-wliilc Slictlaml floss, J vanls of No. 4 rilitum, and a mclunn-si/ed Iione crochet- hook. This petticoat is made in four pieces — the front gore, two side gores, and the straight back. The work is done in half double stitch, made by throw- ing wool over hook, taking a stitch through the chain, then drawing wool through the 3 stitches on the hook. Take the stitches through the back and front ones beneath. L.VDIES' Petticu.\t Join the gores by |)lacing the straight edges of the side gores to the front, and the back joined to the bias edges of the side gores. Use the slip- stitch in joining the gores, being careful to have the ribs match. Begin at the left corner of tlio placket with ch 5, and work a row of t c with 1 ch between in every nhcr- nate stitch of the top of the skirt. This row is for the ribbon. The border is crocheted im the lower edge of the skirt. For the 1st row make a s c in every stitch of the edge. 2d ro'di- — * Chain 5. skip 2 st, s c in next st, ch 3, skip i, s c in next st, * repeat from the * across the row. Tfd row — Chain 2, * i d c in ch 5 of 2d row, d c in next ch 5, (ch 2, d c) 3 times in the same ch 5. Repeat from * to end of the row. 4//1 row — * Chain 4, s c be- tween the 1st and 2d d c of the 4 d c beneath, ch 4, s c be- tween the 3d and 4th d c of the same group" of d c. Repeat from * to end of the row. Repeat the 3d and 4th rows each 3 times. Tlie last row is made of 6 d c with 2 ch between into the 4 ch, fasten with s c into next 4 ch and repeat to end of the row. These directions make a skirt 29 inches long and 2 1-2 yards wide at the lower edge. By making the skirt in gores there is no extra fulness around the hips. This garment is aliout right for a 24-inch waist, and may be increased or decreased at the beginning of the gores. Neck Protector Materials. — Four skeins of r,crmaiitowii, i skein Saxony, and 3 yards of No. 5 satin ril>bon. Begin at the neck with a chain of 74 stitches, turn, work s c in 3d st from the hook and in each of the next * 9 chains, 2 s c in the loth st, and repeat from * to end of the row. The 2 s c in every loth st makes the widenings. 2d row — Chain I, turn, s c in each s c of the first row, taking up both stitches. 2id ro'v — Chain 2, turn, and in each s c of the second row work a i)ulT stitch as follows : Throw wool over hook as for d c, take a st through the s c, throw wool over again, take up another st in same place, this makes 5 sts on the hook, then draw wool through all the sts on the hook, -and fasten by a s c. 4//1 rozi.' — Chain I. turn, s c in each of the first 9 puffs, 2 s c in the loth puff. Repeat to end of the row, widening in every loth st as in the first row. The 5//; and 6tli rows are repetitions of the 2d and 3d rows. Neck Protector The next 18 rows are repetitions of the first three rows. Fasten wool in the right corner of the neck, ch 3, work d c in every alternate st of the neck with I ch between the d c — this makes the spaces through which the ribbon is run. For the border fasten the wool at left corner of the bottom (ch I, 2 d c. ch i, 2 d c, ch i, 2 d c, ch I, 2 d c) between the 2d and 3d puffs, ch i, s c be- tween the 4th and 5th puffs. Repeat the above shells all around the protector. 2d row — Chain 2, 3 d c in the first ch i of the shell, ch I, 3 d c in next ch i, ch i, 3 d c in next ch I, ch 2, s c in the s c between tlie shells. Repeat across the row. Last rozv — Chain i, 3 d c in first ch i, fasten with a s c in second d c of the first group, 3 d c in the next ch I, s c in middle d c of the next group, and repeat across the row. This makes a fluted l)order. Run ribbon through tlie spaces at the neck, leav- ing ends to tie. Fasten riblions in the middle of the front and at the lower corners to tie. This is very pretty and useful to wear under the wrap as a protection for the neck and shoulders. " ' • Rainbow Scarf Either Saxony or floss may be used for this work, about six skeins of white and half a skein of each of the colors used being required. The stitch used is original and is easv to do, fluffy in efifect, will keep its shape well. Use a medium-sized bone hook and work as follows : Chain 68 sts of the white, ist rozv — Turn and work back thus : Draw out st on hook to about 3-4 detail and continue increasing one star every row between widenings until you widen every 8 stars in 0'/' i'o-lc. In back. Crochet Rainhow Scarf of an inch, pass hook under the single thread of wool, draw through st, pass it under wool, work a si st, I ch (in this way you work first st of every row). To make second st * pass hook through second, draw up to three-fourths of an inch, catch the wool and make 2 close ch ; repeat from * to end of chain. Turn and repeat from first row till you have worketl 76 rows in the white wool. To make the rainhozv stripe — Fasten in the red wool and work two rows, then, in the order named, — orange, yellow, light green, dark green, indigo, light blue, violet. Finish the end with two or more rows of white. To make the fringe — * Chain 35, fasten down in ne.xt st with a si st ; repeat from * to end of row. Finish both edges of the scarf with a row of knot stitch. Ladies' Hood in Staple Work The lining of this hood may be made of any of the heavier wools and in any close stitch. In the illustration it is made of Germantown. in star stitch. Of this material it takes two skeins. Four- fold zephyr would be softer and about as warm. and five skeins would be required. The outside is made of two-fold zephyr on an inch and a half staple, and it takes two skeins. One ball of silk will make the edge. For the lining — Chain 5; work a row of 7 stars of 4 loops each, and fasten in top of ist star by slip stitch. 2d roTi'— Widen cverv other star as in loZ/i rozv widen at centre top, and 3 rows around plain and then, leaving off 6 stars at back, crochet 8 rows across front without widen- mg. (See detail star st, page 3.) For the outside, crochet a whole skein on the staple. Cut off 60 li>ii])s. counting loops on one side cinly. Draw a piece of wool through loops on one side of strip and tie tightly, which forms the centre. Join 2d roie to this by drawing 2 loo[)s of centre through 4 of strip, b'asten ends together as neatly as possible. 31/ rojt' — • Draw 3 of centre through 4 of strip. 4th row — Draw 3 of cen- tre through 3 of strip. These four rows should run clear around crown. The next three should be joined to each other by 3 loops and also to centre, leav- ing off 20 loops of centre at back. Pin the outside in place over the lining. Crochet the other skein up for frill and join to hood thus: Chain 3. catch by s c first into hood then into 5 Ladies' Hood in Staple Work and Star Stitch loops of strip, making it as full as desired. A pretty finish is a strip of the staple work sewed on where frill joins hood. An edge of silk is then crocheted around the edge of frill and around both sides of strip sewed on, by crocheting chain 5 and catching in two loops of staple work. In this design the strip sewed on above frill is made on a smaller staple. Cotton Skirt This skirt is for a 26-inch waist and 46-inch hip measure. Use No. 8 tidy cotton and make a chain to go around the hips. In this skirt it was ^jt, chain which made 106 spaces. 1st rozv'. — .A. d c into the sixth ch from hook (2 ch, a d c in 3d ch ) repeat until there are 106 spaces in row. Cotton Skirt 2d yo'u\ — Three ch to turn, then 3 d c in each space, 3J roil'. — Three ch, 2 d c in 2 d c (take up 1>oth loops to make it strong), 3 ch, miss 3 d c, 3 d c in a row. Repeat to the end. 4//i row. — Three d c on 3 d c and 3 ch between. Repeat this row 20 times, which makes it long enough for the placket. Pin the ends over each other four spaces for the placket and in the next row work through it at once, this fastens, join on the beginning of the row. After making the placket work five rows around the same as before, only joining each time to the beginning of row. 1st roiv of flounce. — Bfegin with 9 d c in a row, start from a solid block, if you do not end on one then slip stitch to one. Chain 3 and 2 d c in the block, 3 in the space and 3 on the next block, the 3 ch on the end counts as a d c ; a butterfly scallop in next space made of 3 ch, now 5 d c in the space, but only worked off to the last loop until the last is made, then cotton over and draw all the loops together, 5 ch and again 5 d c in the same space worked off the same way as before, 3 ch and 9 d c in a row, three on the blocks and three on the space ; 3 ch and pass over the open space and begin from the beginning but without the 3 ch. Repeat until you have 13 butterfly scallop.s, join on the three chain. 2d row of flounce. — Slip stitch over one d c, 3 ch and 6 d c on 6 d c and 3 d c on the 3 ch, making 10 d c with the 3 ch in a row. * Now a butterfly scallop in the centre of the one below: 10 d c in a row, begin- ning with three under the 3 ch and 7 d c on 7 d c, I ch, nu'ss 2 d c, I d c in the space, I ch, miss 2 d c on other side, now 10 d c in a row and repeat from * all around. Join on the 3 ch. ^d roiv of flounce. — Same as the second row except only missing I d c on each side of the indent, so that it makes 12 d c in a row on each side of the but- terfly scallop, and a d c on the d c in the indent. Re- peat this row seven times more. Of course the d c in- crease in number each row. ////; row. — No increasing is done after this. Work as before but miss 3 d c on both sides of the indent. Work 7 rows like it. Scullofs in the indents between points. — Fasten cotton in the 4th d c on right side of indent; ch 3, a scallrip of 6 d c in the d c between points, 3 ch, a slip-stitch in opposite 4th d c. 2d row. — Slip stitch up 4 d c, turn, 3 ch, 3 d c under 3 ch, one d c on each of 6 d c, 3 d c under 3 ch, 3 ch, slip stitch on 4th d c on point. j;d row. — Slip stitch up 3 d c, 3 ch, 3 d c under 3 ch, (3 ch, 3 d c on 3 d c), three times more; 3 ch, 3 d c under 3 ch, slip stitch on 4th d c of point. 41I1 row. — Slip stitch up 3 d c, 3 ch, 3 d c under 3 ch, (now 3 ch and 3 d c over each 3 d c) four times in this row; 3 ch, 3 d c under 3 ch, slip stitch in 4th d c on point. Repeat this 4th row five times more which will fill the indent between points. The last should be fast- ened right in the centre of the butterflies. Without lireaking the cotton slip stitch down the side of the point to the last 4th d c and repeat from the begin- ning. Border the scallops with butterfly scallops made like this: Fasten cotton on centre of a point, ch 3, 5 d c worked off to the last loop until List is made then draw cotton through all the loops, make in first 3 ch space, 4 ch, and again a wing of 5 d c in same place, 3 ch and a slip stitch on the centre of 3 d c. Repeat this for each space of scallops all around. 8 Evening Cape Materials. — Thirty-two skeins Shetland floss, in yards satin ribbon No. 3 for the yoke, 3 yards satin riblion No. 40 for ties, and a lining of China sill;. Band. — INIake a ch of 84 sts, I d c in 3th ch. ch i, I d c ill 9th cli, so on till end of ch is readied. EvENiNf; Cape ^(f roze. — Chain 5. i d c in d c, ch i, i d c in next d c, finish the row. jrf, 4th, and fith like -'t k st to 3 ch as be- fore. ^d row — Chain 3, d c in next d c, k st, * chister of 2 d c in next k st, k st, cluster of 2 d c in next cluster, k st, cluster of 2 d c in next cluster, k st, repeat from * around work, ending with a k st joined to 3 ch at beginning. 4//; roiv — Beginning as in every row with 3 ch and d c, work k sts and clusters of 2 d c alternately, widening 8 times by putting 2 clusters, separated by a k st. in each of the 8 clusters that were worked in k sis in la^t row. Continue tlie work in this way, widening in 8 places in each row. /;; 20. ^Ih, 6th. and oil czen I'Oli'S the widenings are made Iiy putting 2 clusters of d c in one cluster of the last row, while in the ;},d . 5///, 7//;, and all odd roll's the extra chister is put in the k st that separates those two clusters in last row. Keep the widenings in a straight line. Where each row is commenced with 3 ch and a d c, make this part to resemble the clusters of d c as closely as possi- ble, so the rows will look alike. When the body of shawl is of the desired size, work the border as follows: C)ne il c in top of cluster Dl'TAIL OF CUULL.AK .Sll.XWL 21 of 2 d c in last row, k st, shell of 2 d c, i ch, 2 d c. in next cluster of 2 d c in last row, k st, i d c in next cluster, k st, shell in next, and so on, alternating shells and i d c with the k sts between. The first three rows are worked alike. Then work four more in the same way except that there are 2 cli in centre of each shell instead of i ch. This widens the border slightly. /;; the S//i roii' work a scallop of 6 loose d c sep- ;irat-M;l by i ch. in a shell of last row, * i ch, s c m top of I d c of last row. i ch, scallop in ne.xt shell, repeat from *. foi' iJw rdgc, beginning with s c under the i ch just before tlic s c between 2 scallops, s c under next I ch, ch 2 loosely, s c under first space 1)e- tween d c of scallop, repeat around scallop eniling with a s c uniler i ch just before the s c between scallops in last row. Now work the next s c under the I ch before next scallop and repeat the loops of 2 ch around each scallop but work the 2 s c be- tween scallops, zvitltoiit any ch between. Silk Slippers with Wool Lining The lining of this slipper is made of four-fold zephvr in the ordinary s c ribbed slipper stitch and requires about 4 laps. Commence with a row of 20 s c, ch 2, turn and taking up back st work 9 s c, Silk .Slipper with Wool Lining widen in mth bv ]iutting 3 s c into it, 10 s c, ch 2. turn and work back and forth, widen in centre every other mw. and taking up back st, which makes the ribs, unlil ynu ha\e 12 ribs; turn and work 20 s c liack anil forth until the strip will meet around the sole. Join together at side and toe, and sew to sole liv overcasting it on the right side. The outside is of wheels and made of machine twist. Size F. and takes a one-ounce spool. Wind the silk around the end of an ordinary lead pencil 10 times. Slip it off carefully and into this ring work 2 rows of 24 s c each. Around this work 12 loops of 5 ch st each, skipping i s c and catching into next Iw s c. To join '.elteels. — Work one entire wheel and the next all but the ch st loops, ch 2, catch into loop of 1st wheel by s c, ch 3, back into unfinished wheel by s c, skipping i s c, ch 2, catch into next loop of 1st wheel, ch 2, back into unfinished wheel by s c, skipping s c. l^'inish wheel by working 10 loops. In this manner work a strip of wheels to go around slipper, next to sole, and join together. Work a wheel and join to strip by 4 loops to the 4 loops of any one wheel of strip, and by 2 loops to first 2 loops of each of the wheels on either side of the one just joined to, which forms the centre toe. This makes the slipper stand up from the sole, and gives it a better shape. This leaves 4 free loops on last wheel made, also 2 free loops on wheel at either side. The wheels now are joined to this strip across the toe in rows of 2, then 3. then 4, then 5, in this manner. Work one wheel all but the loops of ch sts, join by 2 loops to 2 loops of 2d wheel from centre wheel of strip, to 2 free loops of wheel next to centre, and to 2 loops of the 4 loops of centre wheel, finish wheel by working 6 free loops. Join another wheel in like manner, by 2 loops to this last wheel made, 2 loops to 2 free loops of cen- tre wheel, 2 loops to ist wheel from centre, and 2 to first 2 loops of 2d wheel from centre, finish by working 6 free loops. Next join the 3 wheels in same manner, then 4 and then 5. This completes the toe. The strip around the back is 3 wheels deep, counting the row already made. In making the other rows join wheels as you work them by 2 loops to each other and 4 to the bottom strip, so (bat the wheels will rest over the joining of wheels below, which is done by catching into 2 last loops of the one wheel and the two first of the next. Finish the top with an hour-glass design to run the ribljon through as follows: Tie wool in 2d loop of wheel, ch 6. d c in ne.xt loop, ch 3, wool over the hook 3 times, catch into last loop of wheel and draw wool through, wool over, draw through 2 sts, wool over, draw through 2 more, wool over twice, catch into ist loop of next wheel, wool over, draw through 2 sts at a time till all are off. ch 3, wool over, catch in st at centre where all parts seem to join, work d c. ch 3. d c in 2d loop and repeat. This same edge is worked around the bottom to sew on by, only wool is thrown over the hook but twice at beginning of hour-glass, and is caught in loops bv s c instead of d c. The frill is just a full ruffle of ch sts. 5 long- drawn-out ch being in each loop, and 3 loops put into each opening. The 2d row is the same, chain 5 and catch into the top of loops of preceding row by s c ; a silk edge is then worked around in same manner with same nunilicr of sts. The frill and row for ribbon is made of two-fold zephyr and one lap is required. Run in No. 2 satin ribbon of the same shade as the wool lining. Fasten with a bow. 22 Scarf Material required, about lo skeins Slietland flos' sized bone crochet-hook. and a nttdium- for width I if Make a chain of length desircil scarf. 1st rozv. — Two d c in 3d st from hook. Shell of 3 d c in every 3d st of chain, I d c at end to keep the edge straight, ch 3, turn. r ■4 Scarf sd roti.' is the familiar star stitch. ^\'ork ist star as follows: insert the hook in ist one of 3 ch (the one next the work), draw wool through rather looselv and keeping it on the hook, insei't hook in hack loop of stitch at top of d c on edge, draw wool through loosely as he fore and repeat in each d c of shell, taking up back loop each time. There will be 6 loops on the hook. Wool over and draw through all, then make a tight ch st which closes star. To make next star, take up first loop under one thread just below the "eye" of last star, second one in loop just below this one (where last loop of the other star was made), and the other three across the top of shell as before. Finish this star by closing with a tight ch st as before. The loops should be drawn out to eipial lengths and loosely made. After closing star with ch st, draw the st out rather loosely on hook before taking up loops for next star or the work will draw. Work a d c at end of row as before, ch 3, turn. 2d rozu. — Shell of 3 d c in each star, putting it in eye of star, d c at end. ^fli row. — Star stitch. ^Ili row. — Shells, and so on, alternating these two rows until of re<|uired length, keeping edges straight with d c and 3 ch at ends.

Foi' heading of fringe. — Make 2 d c in each space across ends, working them as follows: Work off the first d c until there are 2 stitches left on hook, then instead of finishing in the usual manner, wool over and work another d c in same place, working off 2 threads at a time until .-dl are worked off. This closes the 2 d c into i st at top, 2 ch, 2 d c in next space, repeat. For fringe. — Wrap .Shetland floss around a card of suitable size six times, cut and with the ends held evenly together, draw loop through space on end of scarf, then draw ends through loop and pull down close. 23 Golf Vest Materials. — Two hanks of Scotch wool, i roll uf hraid for binding, ^ of a yard of silk for facing the fronts, lo small brass buttons, 2 balls of crochet silk for working, and '4 of a yard of broad crinkle-edge elastic, 1 long crochet- hook about the size of a No. 13 bone knitting-needle, i spool of twibt. Make a ch of 35 sts, turn, and putting the hook into the 2d st, put wool over and draw it througli the St. Keeping the st on the hook, continue to back edges i st every other rib seven times, or 14 ribs. Make a ch of 12 sts on the back edge and take up 10 sts as at the beginning of the work. This gives the under-arm extension. Widen every rib on the front edge for 18 ribs, crocheting straight on the back. Work one rib without widening. Then, on the edge of the right side of the vest, after crocheting the first 2 sts, make a ch of 2 sts be- tween the 2d and 3d sts to make a little opening for the buttonhole. Narrow on the front edge I st every 3d rib, and make ch for the buttonhole after every 6th rib. Do this for 22 ribs. Now bind off 21 sts from the under-arm seam, and beginning to crochet from the 22d st narrow i on the front every 3d rib, crochet back to within I st of the back edge every rib. Do this for 6 ribs, remembering to make the buttonhole where it should come in reference to the others. Bind off. This completes the front. Take up stitches on the opposite shoulder and crochet the other front to correspond. Sew up the vest at the under-arm seams. To work the stars use knitting silk. On colored or white vest two cross-stitches of black and two of yellow make a pretty combination. Under the buttonholes place a narrow stay of muslin. Underface the fronts with bias silk or satin. W'ork the buttonholes with twist. It is well before binding the fronts and armholes to overcast the edges with the wool, to pre- vent stretching in binding. It is also well to hold the edges rather full in binding and to note the meas- urements given below. Underface the lower edge of the back with a flat elastic band. Finish with two rows of small buttons. Neck measure, 31 inches; armhole, 17 inches; length of front, 7 inches. the end of the ch until there are 34 sts on the hook. Now put the wool ov^er and draw back through one St. Put wool over and draw back through the st just formed and the one next on the hook. Con- tinue to the end of the row. This makes the regu- lar afghan-stitch with which most persons are familiar. It will be seen that to make one complete rib requires crocheting twice across, so, to simplifv the directions, we will speak of narrowing and wid- ening by ribs rather than rows. Having started with 34 sts on the hook and crocheting twice across to form one rib, now widen every second rib at each end for four times. This gives 8 ribs. Work 22 ribs without widening. Now widen i st at both ends of rib every ^d rib for four times. Crochet 2'; ribs straight. This brings the work to the shoulder. Take one-third of the stitches for one shoulder, bind off one-third for the neck, and crochet on the next third for the other shoulder.

Baby's Carriage Afghan Materials. — Fifteen .'^kcins of creain-wliite (lerniantnwn, t '^ yards of wliitc eiderdown, 5 yards narruw riM»ini. and a medium-sized bone hook. The Iiody of the afgluin is formed of 5 stripes going lengthwise, but all joined in the making. Three of the stri])es are made of vlar stitch and d c. and 2 rows are of popcorn stitch. \\in-k a ch afiout i 1-4 yards long. On the ch work 175 d c fur the first row. Skip a st of ch B.ir.Y's C.\RRHGE Afgh.\-\ about every 6th d c to keep the edge from drawing. Turn and work a row of stars. Place a star over every 2 d c. Turn and work a row of d c into the stars, working 2 d c over each star, i d c in the eye of star and i d c in stitch between the eyes. Alternate these 2 rows until there are 6 rows of stars and 7 rows of d c This forms the first stripe. To make the popcorn stripe, work a s c over each of the first 2 d c, * ch 4, s c in each of next 3 d c, and repeat from * to end of the row. Take the s c through both the back and front st beneath. Turn and work the ne.xt row of s c. dropping out the ch 4 wdiich forms the raised appearance. Alternate these 2 rows initil there are 11 rows with the raised parts and end with a row of d c. This finishes the popcorn stripe. Work another stripe like the first one, then another popcorn stripe, then another like the first, as seen in the illustration. Work a row of d c with ch 2 lietween all around the afghan through which to run the ribbnn. The border consists of 4 rows. l,j^ rocf — Shell of 2 d c, eh 2, 2 d c in every al- ternate ch 2 of previous row. 2d riTic — .'^hell of 3 d c, ch 2, 3 d c in every shell of previous row. ^d rnw — Same as 2d row. For the last row, ch 3, s c in ch 2 of the shell, ch 5 and s c in same place, eh 6 and s c in same place, ch 3 and s c in same place — this forms 3 |)icots in the ch 2; cli 3, s c between the shells, ch 3 and s c in the ch 2 of next shell. Repeat to end of the row. Cut the eiderdown to fit the afghan, letting the edges come, to the row for the riblion. With the wool work a row of d c with 2 ch between all ariiuiid the lining, catching the d c into the edge of the eiderdown. IMace the afghan and lining with the wrong sides together. Pace the rihlion through the lining and outside, thus fastening them together In this way they can easily be taken apart to be cleansed. This afghan is all white, but if a color is desired it looks very pretty to work the plain niws in the ]iopcorn stripe either of pink or blue and then work the last row of the border of the same color.

Baby's Cap This beautiful little cap is for a two-year-old child. The fan-like designs are made in rows and then crocheted together at the picots. ( >u top of the bead the first two rows divide so that the fans fall down on the sides. The ist row has 7 fans on each side: the 2d row has 6 fans, ( )u top where the fans diviile, in the 2il row, are joined :i row of 7 fans which run down over the middle of head but not (|uite to the neck: the hist of the se\en should be somewhat smaller to ni.ake a nicer shape. To fill 29 ill tlie sides of the cap, the y\ row has 2 fans dividing with 3 more running downward to make it even with 2d row ; the 4th row has the ist fan standing side wise joincii to the two dividing ones in the 3d row, this Bahy's Cap is to shape the back; to tliis are added 3 fans which are to be even with the 2(1 and 3d rows. On the bottom join a row of 4 fans, beginning from the 2d row and going Ijack to nape of neck. The joining is all done by two chains and doubles in the picots from one row to the other. Detailed instructions would be too confusing for making the joinings, but a little ingenuity and fitting on a child's head will be of great assistance. Use mercerized cotton or crochet silk, and start with the fan in the centre of the ring. Chain 7, and in the 1st ch work 6 roll stitches, over 15 times. Detail of roU-stitch. — Wind the thread 15 times over the hook, bring up loop through 1st ch. thread over the hook and draw through the coil on the hook, thread over hook and draw through the one loop on the hook. Repeat this for each stitch until you have six. Chain 6 and fasten down into the ist ch also; this makes a shell or fan. To wind a heavy ring around this fan, lav the fan with the hook in its loop on the forefinger of left hand, hold it down with the thumb, and with the thread wind 10 times over three fingers. Take the hook out of the loop and put it in again from the opposite direction, slip off the ring carefully, and with the hook pass over into the eye of the fan (the eye is where the roll sts were worked in), and now work 3 s c into the eye of the fan and over the ring at the same time to fasten the windovers. Next work up the side on ring with 12 s c, now a tr under the ch of fan (do the tr from the back) now a p of 5 ch, fasten the p on top of tr, 5 s c under the ring (a tr on fan, a p of 5 ch), repeat until there are 9 tr and 9 p. Between the first and last two rolls make 2 tr and one between the others; finish with 12 s c. If they are the same size as the design this fills the ring. They need not necessarily be the same size, so long as you make an odd number of p. At the end of 12 s c fasten down with a si st, and without cutting thread the next fan in the row can be made. Chain 10 and fasten around the centre tr on the wrong side, 7 more and fasten on the centre p, which p is now the foundation from which the next fan is made, using the hole in the picot for putting in the roll sts. Where the fans are to divide tlie fan is made exactly opposite. If desired a China silk lining can be made for the cap. It is trimmed with big chii'fon rosettes where the ties are fastened.

This is man- aged by working the star sts a little closer and seeing that the last stitch of the last of the increase stars is in the eye of the last of two stars be- low. After this row you probably will not need to increase again, but if you feel it would be best, it is done as shown. Work 2 rows of l.ilue when the petticoat is about 9 or 9 1-2 inches deep, and then work on till the petticoat is a trifle shorter than you wish it to be (about 10 1-2 inches for a baby up to a year), when you work a row of close edge around, working in blue.

Work two rows of s c. then a row of double crochet to run ribbon through. Work eight more rows of s c, which brings the work to base of the thumb. In the next row begin widening for the thumb by placing 2 stitches in one. In the following seven rows widen 2 sts, one each side of the thumb in each row. The 16 widened sts form the thumb. Fasten the last and first one together and crochet the thumb. To narrow off the thumb take 2 sts in one to narrow, leaving the thumb the desired length. Fasten on the wool for the hand, and work eight rows before tlie narrowing begins. To narrow off the tip, narrow a st on each side in every alternate row for eight rows, then narrow three or four in each row until the sts are all narrowed off. The worker can tell how often to narrow to shape the end right. Crochet two rows of shells across the top with a ch of two fastened into each st of the last row of shells. Run baby ribbon through the row of d c in the wrist. The mittens can be made larger by beginning with more stitches, and widening more for the thumb.

If color is desired, as shown in the illustration, one skein will be required. The yoke is made in rib-stitch and with the long shoulder effect. Start at the neck with ch 51. 1st roii' — Twelve s c in 12 ch, beginning on jd ch. Increase in next ch by working 3 s c in l ch st ; now 24 s c for back, increase on next ch; now 12 s c for front. 2d rote — Chain i, s c in each s c to the in- crease. Increase in first and last st of the increase and plain between. This makes the shoulder-piece between the increases. Single crochet to the next in- crease and do the same here. Finish off the row with s c. Repeat this row until the yoke is deep enough, which should be when there are 8 or 9 ribs done. For the long shoulders, work back and forth be- tween the increases over the shoulders, missing a st at the end each time until only a s c remains. The sleeves are worked on these extended points. Connect corners by ch 6 for under the arm, and work around with d c for first row. 2d ro7v. — Make 3 ch. now a st like this: Wool over the hook, bring up a loop around a d c and draw it out about three-quarters of an inch, repeat once more, then wool over the hook and draw through all the loops, now I ch ; this completes the stitch. Make this stitch into every other d c. 3d rozv — Chain 3 and now the same st into each st of previous row, making them around 4 of the top loops. This is to raise them. Make the sleeve 13 rows in length, then work on the cuff' of 4 ribs. Edge this with a rufHe of 4 d c in every other s c, with a 3-ch picot between. Work the skirt of the sack the same as the sleeves. 15 rows in length.

Continue thus widening for 5 rows, then widen in centre front only 2 s c every other row for 14 rows, making 19 rows in all. Then work back and forth across sole, taking up both sts of 20 s c for 14 rows, then leav- ing oft' I s c at each end of next 4 rows, fasten wool and clip. Tie wool in at centre point in front, ch 18, on which make 16 s c, which brings you to front part already crocheted. Work on down to sole, catching into sole by si st, turn and work back to end. Con- tinue around the sole, working up and down, taking up back st and catching into sole, so that the rows of top will correspond to rows of sole; the model has 25 ribs or 50 rows. Run ribbon through at ankle and finish top with fancy edge. Child's Ball Take a large ball of yarn, or a very thin rubber one. Commence the cover of worsted by making a ch of 4 sts ; join in a circle, and work in tr st, in- creasing at regular intervals until the work is large enough to cover one-half the ball; then work a few rows without increasing, draw the cover over the ball, letting the wrong side of the work be outside, and work the other half to correspond with the first half, decreasing at regular intervals and putting tlie hook in from the inside. A pattern of bright flowers worked with worsted round the centre adds greatly to the attractiveness of the ball to a child. 39 Child's Cloak Materials. — Five skeins of white Spanish yarn, i ball of knit- ting silk, 5 yards No. i^ ribbon, i^ yards No. 12 rib- bon, 6 fancy pearl Inittons and 1 yard of silk cord.

Chain 2, turn, work s c in each s c of the first row, taking back of the stitch. Repeat until the yoke is 18 rows deep, placing 3 sts in the point in every alternate row. The body is attached to the under side of the yoke, under the points. Instead of working the first row around the points, go straight across diagonally. Begin at the corner of the front, and work d c for the first row, placing them close enough so the work will not draw in. Chain 3, turn, work a star over every 2 d c to the middle of the space between the 2d and 3d points of yoke, skip the 3d, 4th and 5th points for the sleeve, working the next star in the middle of the space between the 5th and 6th points, work stars across the back to the middle of the space between the 9th and loth points, skip loth. nth and I2th points for the other sleeve and work next star in middle of space between the 12th and 13th points, finish to the corner of yoke. Chain 3, turn, d c in eye of the last star, then d c back in the 2 st at the top of the last star, thus making a small stack stitch. Repeat the stacks to the end of the row, placing one over each star. The next row is of stars, placing a star over each stack, and widen- ing a star under each arm and in middle of the back. To widen work a star between 2 stars without tak- ing any stitches of the row preceding. The body is all made of these 2 rows until it is the desired length, widening as in the preceding row in every alter- nate star row. Work a row of s c across the bot- tom, then break the wool and fasten to the upper corner of the left side of yoke and work a row of s c across the fronts and the bottom. Fasten the wool in the lower side of the armhole and work a row of 26 stars for the sleeve. Sleeves are made same as the body, working 10 rows, then join the edges. Begin the cuff by a s c in every alter- nate stitch of last row, work around for 4 rows, then a row of d c, with 2 ch between for the ribbon, and finish witli a row of shells, each of 6 d c, joined by s c. Begin at the right corner for the collar, working a row of d c with 2 ch between for the ribbon. Turn, ch 3 and work a row of stars by placing a star over each stitch beneath instead of over every 2 stitches, thus making the fullness for rounding the collar. The next row is stacks, then a star row, then an- other stack row. Finish the collar and each side of the front with a row of shells, each of 6 d c joined l)y s c. and made close enough to round the cor- ners of the collar nicely. Edge the yoke around the points with shells, then finish the shells of yoke, collar, fronts, and sleeves with knitting silk, by chaining 3 and joining by s c in each st of shells. Run the narrow ribbon through the spaces made by the widenings in each point and leave a loop and end at each point. Use the wider ribbon for ties, running it through the spaces at the neck. Sew three buttons on each side to a tape on the underside, and make loops of the cord for fasten- ings.
