Three-thread fleecy. Needles, No. 6.

Cast on forty-six stitches. Knit forty plain rows. Then,—cast on four more stitches at each end of the needle, and knit ten rows.

In the next row,—knit two together, to the end of the row. Then, knit two rows, and cast off. Draw up the cast-off stitches, and sew the ends of the last thirteen rows together, to form the crown.

Roll over the first twenty-eight rows, sewing them up at the ends, to form the front.

Cast on twenty-four stitches for a back piece. Knit twenty-four rows; drawing them up at the ends, to form a roll, similar to the front. This is afterwards to be attached to the lower part of the crown of the bonnet.

The bonnet should have a double lining of silk, stiffened with muslin.—The centre of the back of the crown may be formed of a small circle of plaited satin riband. The roll, in the front and back, should be filled with soft cotton wool. A rosette of satin riband may be added, with strings to match.
