_1st round._--Work down the first side thus: net a stitch plain, then net 2 stitches in one stitch, 15 plain, 2 stitches in one, 2 plain, and along the other side, *, net 2 stitches in one, 15 plain, 2 stitches in one, and 2 plain. Repeat from * twice more. _2d._--Net 3 plain then (2 stitches in one, and 10 plain, 8 times). _3d._--Plain. _4th._--(Net 11 plain, and 2 stitches in one, 8 times.) It will now be advisable to take out the string, and run it into the 1st round to keep the work even. Net 15 rounds plain. _20th._--Net 2 stitches in one, then 20 plain, 2 stitches in one, 79 plain. Net 4 rounds more the same as last, working 2 stitches more at the end of each round, so that the 20 plain stitches are always over those of the preceding round; when finished, turn back. Net to within 20 stitches of the end of the round, turn back again, and leaving the 20 stitches to form the back of the cap, work for the front, 8 rows plain, netting two stitches in the last stitch of each row. Then 12 rows plain without increasing; and for the foundation of the border double the cotton and work 6 rows plain. [Illustration] Embroider the cap with the pink wool in darning stitch, passing the needle about 6 times in each square of the netting. THE BORDER.--With the thread, and No. 14 mesh, net 6 stitches plain, and continue working backwards and forwards for about 9 yards; then to form. THE EDGE.--Run a string in the loops which form the selvedge, so as to work on the other selvedge. _1st row._--With flat mesh, net 4 stitches in every other stitch of the selvedge. _2d._--With 14 mesh, plain netting, working a stitch in every stitch of the first row. Then, with the pink wool, embroider the plain netting. To make up the cap, sew a row of the border to the last thick row of the cap, fulling it at the ears, plain across the front to the centre, then draw 5 loops close together to make it rather pointed, plain again, and full at the other ear, and across the back, sew on another row of the border the same, attaching it to the first thick row; then sew on a third border, very full, and in a zigzag form on the ears, but the same as before across the front. THE STRINGS.--With the thread and No. 14 mesh, net 12 stitches, and continue working backwards and forwards for 5 inches, then net 2 stitches in one at the end of every third row, until it is increased to 28 stitches; then net 8 rows, leaving 3 stitches unworked at the end of each row; and for THE EDGE.--With the flat mesh, commence in the last stitch of the side, and net 4 stitches in every other stitch across the uneven rows; then one row plain, with No. 14 mesh. Work another string the same, and embroider them as the cap. [Illustration] BORDER AND CORNER FOR POCKET-HANDKERCHIEF. [Illustration] CHEMISETTES, UNDERSLEEVES, AND CAPS.
