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. Doll's Sweater |
