Material: Old rose (double) wool floss. Gray floss to be used in making pom-poms.

Bone crochet hook No. 2.

Directions:

1. Make 50 chain stitches. Join the last chain stitch to the first chain stitch with a slip stitch.

2. Make 50 single crochet stitches and work around for 20 rows. (See figure A on page 94.)

3. Make 2 slip stitches. Then turn, and work on the wrong side.

4. Make 50 single crochets for 25 rows. Fasten the end of the floss.

5. Thread a zephyr needle or a darning needle with the floss. Lay the chain-stitched edge together like the top of a stocking laid flat, and sew or overhand it together from a to b to form top of cap. (See figure A on page 94).

6. Fold up on outside of cap, about 12 rows of the single crochet stitches last made. Fold up about 13 more rows. This roll forms the part around the head of the doll.

7. Bring points a and b down to meet the roll, and pin in place. Fasten points in place by sewing on pom-poms for trimming.

1. Cut 2 cardboard circles, making them measure 3 inches across.

2. Cut out a circular hole in the center of each, making it ½ inch across.

3. Cut off 1 piece of old rose and 1 piece of gray floss, making each about 3 yards long. Put the ends together, side by side.

4. Holding the 2 cardboard circles together, thread the gray and rose floss into the center hole, over the edges, into the center, over the edges, doing this over and over again until the entire length of floss is used.

5. Put one leg of a pair of scissors between the 2 cardboard edges of the circles, and cut the floss apart.

6. Put a short double thread of floss between the 2 cardboard circles and tie the ends of the double thread firmly together.

7. Tear off the cardboard, and carefully clip the surface of the pompon even.
