=OPERA HOOD.=

PLAIN KNITTING. No. 10.

_Materials—1/2 oz. of Black and 1-1/2 ozs. each of White and Colored Andalusian wool; 1 reel of Gold Check; a pair of Knitting Pins No. 7; and for the Trimming, Crochet Needle No. 1._

THE FRONT.

THE WHITE STRIPE.—With white wool, cast on very loosely with 2 pins, 90 stitches. Work 10 rows plain knitting, always slipping the 1st stitch of each row; then for

THE COLORED STRIPE—Black wool. Knit two rows plain as before. Colored wool. 4 rows. Gold check. 4 rows. Colored wool. 4 rows. Black wool. 2 rows.

THE WHITE STRIPE—Knit 14 rows plain. Repeat the colored stripe and 12 rows of white; then knit 2 rows of white, casting off very loosely 14 stitches at the beginning of each row. These ends are for the Lappets, and 62 stitches will be left in the centre; on these 62 stitches repeat the colored stripe and 10 rows of white. Cast off loosely, so that the work may be stretched lengthways and measure about one yard, including the lappets, which are now to be fringed as follows:

THE FRINGE—Cut the white wool in lengths of 6 inches, take 3 pieces, and put the crochet needle into a stitch of the selvedge of a white stripe, fold the wools on the point of the needle, bring them through the stitch in a loop, then bring the ends of wool through the loop and draw them tight. Repeat along the selvedge, looping in the same colors as the stripes. Fringe the opposite lappet the same. Then, with a rug-needle and wool commence at the 14th stitch of the foundation row, run it across the stripes, so as to draw them all together, and sew it firm; to this will be attached the strings and a rosette. Draw the other end the same; then, commencing at the centre stitch of the foundation draw the stripes together for the middle of the head, where the large rosette is placed.

THE BACK

WHITE STRIPE—With white wool, cast on tightly with 1 pin, 20 stitches.

1st row—Knit the 1st stitch; but before taking it off the left pin put the right pin into the back of the same stitch, and knit it off—this will increase a stitch. Repeat to the end, when there will be 40 stitches. Knit 9 rows plain as before.

Repeat the colored stripe and 14 rows of white as for the front, until there are 6 white stripes and 5 colored; in the last repeat, work only 9 white rows, and for the last row knit every 2 stitches together, and cast off tightly.

Fringe one selvedge of this piece in the same manner as the lappets.

THE ROSETTES—With the crochet needle and black wool work 5 chain, and make it round.

1st round—Work 10 plain crochet stitches in the round loop.

2nd round—Join on the gold check, work 4 chain and 1 plain on the lower edge of the black stitches, leaving the upper edge at the back. Repeat 9 times more.

3rd round—Colored wool. 7 chain, 1 plain on the upper edge of the black row left at the back of the last. Repeat all round.

4th round—Black wool. 10 chain and 1 plain in the back of the same black stitch in which the colored one was worked. Repeat all round and fasten off. Sew this rosette to the centre row of the 2nd White Stripe of the Back, about 12 stitches from the edge which is fringed, then draw up the 12 stitches under the rosette, so that it touches the edge and forms a scallop. Work 3 rosettes more the same, attaching them to the 3 following white stripes. 5 more rosettes will be required. Sew one to each side where the front is drawn together at the lappets.

LARGE ROSETTE—Commence with the colored wool; work 20 chain, make it round, and work 10 chain and 1 plain 16 times in the round loop. Join on the black wool, and work 12 chain and 1 plain 16 times, putting the needle in the same foundation chain as before, but at the back of the colored round; then, with the gold check, commence in a loop of the black round, work 5 chain and 1 plain in each black loop. Repeat, and fasten off. Take a small rosette and sew it into the centre of the large one; then attach it to the centre of the front, where the stitches were drawn together.

The back and front are to be joined together by sewing the selvedge of the side not fringed to the foundation row of the front, thus—keep the back piece on the right side of the work, and the front on the wrong side, as it is to turn over to form a roll round the face, attach the corners of the back piece under the rosettes at the top of the lappets. Draw together the selvedge of the 3 colored stripes in the middle of the back piece, and sew it under the large rosette; then sew the rest of the selvedge to the 1st row of the front, and turn it over on the right side; on each side attach a rosette to the 2nd white stripe of the back near the front.

THE CORD is made by folding the wools 6 times; take a length of about 1-1/2 yards of black, colored, and gold, plait them together; two lengths will be required. Leave 16 inches for the strings, and tack the rest to the back, as in the engraving. A tassel is to be made at each end of the cord.
