This pretty cap, which will fit a girl of ten to fourteen years, and is easily enlarged to any desired size, requires five hanks of eiderdown-wool. If desired, two colors may be used, say white for cap and blue for the turnover or border. It is worked in wedge-stitch, and Germantown wool may be used by making more stitches. Use a bone hook of suitable size, that is, one which will carry the wool easily without catching in it. Make a chain of 4 stitches and join.

1. Draw out the loop, insert hook in ring, draw up a loop, wool over, insert hook in ring, draw up another loop, wool over, draw through all the loops on needle, chain 1, and repeat until you have 11 wedge-stitches in the ring; join.

2. Draw up loop, insert hook in 1st space, draw up a loop, wool over, hook in next space, draw up a loop, wool over, draw through all loops on needle, chain 1, * hook in same space, draw up a loop, wool over, hook in next space, draw up a loop, wool over, draw through all on hook, chain 1, and repeat from *, widening by making an extra stitch in every other stitch of last round.

3. Widen in every 3d stitch.

4. Widen in every 6th stitch.

Work six times around plain, that is, without widening; then if color is used for the turnover join it in and work once around, turn the work so that the border will be right side out when turned up, and work around five times more. Make a chain of 18 or 20 stitches, according to length you wish the tassel, wind the wool over four fingers, or a card five inches wide, 20 times, slip off, tie tightly near one end to form the head of tassel, and cut open the other end.
