,,newgate ,,street1 ,,london4 ,in presenting this book to the ,public of useful ,knitted and ,crochet ,articles1 ,i wish to give a few suggestions with regard to the ,wools used and the mode of washing them4 ,no ,wool is so cheap as the best4 ,it is false economy 7,i have tested it constantly7 to work with inferior ,wools4 ,from a very long and tried experience ,i have the greatest confidence in fully recommending ,peacock ,qualities2 they are full measure1 and extra good4 ,if washed according to the directions ,i give1 and not washed oftener than necessary1 ,i have no doubt of their wear4 ,little children's knitted garments should always be washed in the nursery1 or at home4 ,the following is an admirable method2 but1 where it can be done1 all ,knitting and ,crochet should be 8blocked0 to dry4 ,the 8block0 is a piece of evenly-planed hard wood--generally box-wood--cut the size and shape of the garment4 ,in some cases the blocks are earthenware4 ,little feet1 and models of children's legs and feet1 can be procured in nearly all sizes4 ,the work1 when washed and wringed1 but not wrung1 must be drawn on the blocks and left to dry quickly in a warm place4 ,,to ,,wash ,,wool4 ,all fine ,shetland1 or other finely-combed and spun ,wools1 should be washed in a lather of bran--no soap1 unless very dirty4 ,a gallon of boiling water should be poured over #a lb4 of bran1 and the two stirred well together in a boiling state for five or six minutes2 leave it in a pancheon or basin all night2 in the morning pour off the water1 make it lukewarm1 wash your work in it1 then rinse in lukewarm clean soft water and block till dry4 ,where you have not a block1 cover a board with a clean cloth and pin the work out to dry4 ,if the work is much soiled1 take a little transparent soap 7it is the most free from all injurious matters71 mix into a lather in a little warm water1 and gently wash the work in the lather 7on no account rub the work with soap71 rinse in cold water1 and

,you work these by knitting #b in each stitch3 knit the stitch1 and before taking it from the left needle put the right needle between the two threads on the left needle1 take up the back part and

and shaped4 ,cut a round of stiff cardboard slightly larger than the work1 put the work on the board and damp it1 leave it on the board until it is quite dry4 ,you line it with thin silk1 and add the tuft4 ,the ,tuft is made by winding the scarlet wool over card4 ,take a piece of card1 #a in4 wide--it must be smooth and strong--double over it a piece of fine wire the length of the card4 ,over the wire and the card wind the wool until the whole is wound1 take the ends of the wire and twist the wool firmly and strongly together with it1 slip the wool off the card2 this makes a firm1 compact

plain4 ,repeat these #e rows until your work measures #af inches across1 work #aj more plain rounds1 and from that round begin to decrease every #fth stitch4 ,this is done by taking up the #ast on the needle1 then the #bnd1 and working the two as one4 ,four rounds plain2 repeat these #e rounds until your work from the last of the #aj plain rounds measures #d inches4 ,you then take up the stitches on #e knitting needles1 and knit #bj rounds1 with one colour only1 of #a purl1 #a plain1 and cast off4 ,the ,cap should be lined1 and a tuft made in the same manner as directed in the receipt for a

larger1 and the under part much deeper than the ,jack ,tar4 ,this ,cap has a very soft appearance1 and is light and warm4 ,for a fancy dress use light pink1 blue1 or cream2 for general winter wear1 maroon or dark grey4 ,you will require #e oz4 of ,peacock ,fingering and a ,no4 #ab hook3 about the same quantity of ,peacock ,lady ,betty1 and more if ,fleecy is used4 ,if the work is combed after it is finished1 the ,fleecy should be used1 as it wastes the wool4 ,make a chain of #dj stitches4 #ast row--,double crochet4 #bnd row--,put the hook in the #ast stitch1 wind the wool over the hook and round the #ast finger of the left hand twice1 draw the loops on the needle through the double crochet loop1 and finish as usual4 ,work the whole row in this manner4 #crd row--,turn and work in single

stitches4 ,repeat from the #fth row until the work lies flat on the table and meets easily4 ,you will have to repeat it #i more times according to some workers1 perhaps more with a tight worker4 ,when the top is finished and joined together1 you work round the outside edge of the work #f rounds of loop crochet1 work round and round1 and work #a stitch on the stitch of the preceding row1 always taking up the two edges of the stitch4 ,you now decrease for the under rim2 this is not very wide1 the whole depth not being more than #a inch4 ,if the hat is being made as a special fit1 take the measure of the head1 then measure the work1 and decrease gradually to the exact size2 #f rows of decreasings only are required4 ,for an ordinary hat1 work for #f rounds every #eth and #fth stitches as one4 ,after these rounds1 you work #ab rounds of plain double crochet for the head4 ,the name of the wearer or a ship should be crocheted into the band4 ,the letters should be drawn out on a piece of point paper2 this is divided into little squares #a-afth of an inch in size4 ,then you take a coloured wool2 each square represents a stitch1 the letters are worked in red or gold1 in double crochet1 by simply passing the wool used as the ground at the back of that used for the letters4 ,it makes a better effect to work the letters by putting the needle into the stitch1 pull the wool through1 the wool on the needle1 put the needle into the same stitch again1 and draw through the wool on the needle and through all the loops on the needle4 ,this stitch raises the work4 ,you must next cut the loops of wool open and trim them neatly with a sharp pair of scissors1 and you have an exact imitation of fur4 ,the crochet work of the hat is now finished4 ,quilt a lining and sew in the head4 ,cut a piece of lining muslin1 #c doubles1 for the brim 7or a piece of leather71 sew inside the #ab rows of crochet for the head1 and add strings at the back4 ,a tassel of silk is made in the same way as the

of #d1 as in the first repetition1 then #b stitches each repetition1 until you have one quarter of the stitches left on the #crd needle4 ,you must now work all these stitches1 and1 as you take up each set of two1 work an extra one on the side of the last1 between it and the first of the two next2 knit the whole round1 increasing on the remainder of the #dth1 #eth1 #ast and #bnd needles1 every #fth stitch4 ,work the increasings by knitting #b in one stitch1 as directed in the pattern1 ,no4 #a4 ,you must now knit in rounds1 and increase every alternate round in the #fth stitch until the knitting at the back measures #a inches above the band4 ,the front must be #e inches deep2 it will require some more shaped rows1 therefore1 before you work the last #f rounds of the back4 ,work on the #bnd1 #crd and #dth needles as many more half-rows1 repeating the directions1 until you have the right depth4 ,you now work the #f rounds to finish the ,head-piece1 increasing every #fth stitch in each

round the hat4 ,in the first round you must slightly tighten together the cord1 as well as in succeeding rounds1 to keep it the right shape2 work #i rounds for this head-band1 and finish with #b of double crochet4 ,you then line with black linen1 and sew in a piece of leather4 ,work a small round of crochet to cover a button for the centre1 and make a crochet rosette to go round it4 ,the
