Cast on 54 stitches; knit 38 rows, cast on 14 stitches, knit 14 rows;

cast off 26 stitches, knit 4 rows, cast on 34 stitches, knit 14 rows,
cast off 14 stitches, and knit 38 rows.
Sleeves.
Cast on 43 stitches, add 1 stitch each row until there are 60, knit 9
rows. Decrease 1 stitch in each row for 8 rows, then 3 in each row for
19.
_Warm Tippet._
Two needles, No. 11.
Cast on 60 stitches, bring the thread forward, slip a stitch and knit 2
taken together, and continue to knit in the same manner for 10 rows,
then knit (still observing the same stitch) 6 stitches, (2 repetitions
of the pattern), and back; knit 12 stitches and back; 18 and back; and
knit backwards and forwards in this manner advancing 6 stitches farther
each time until you have but 6 stitches left behind, then knit fewer
stitches by 6 than in the last row, and knit backwards and forwards
receding 6 stitches each time until you knit only 6 and return: you have
now completed the first of the gussets which shape the tippet. Knit 6
stitches, bring the thread forward as if to continue the pattern, pick
up a stitch between the stitches and purl it, bring the thread forward,
slip a stitch and knit 2 together; continue the same stitch to the end
of the row without any more increase. In the next row knit 2 stitches
in the increased stitch, and in the following row, when you come to the
increased stitches, bring the thread forward, slip a stitch and knit 1
(instead of 2,) you have thus added 1 stripe to your row; knit 4 rows,
and in the next row begin to add another stripe to your row within the
first 6 stitches; by the time this stripe is made, you will have knitted
10 entire rows. Knit 6 stitches and return, and knit as before (for the
gusset) until you come to the row in which you knit to within 6 of the
end, then knit a smaller number each time until you knit only 6 stitches
and return. Knit a whole row, increasing after the 6th stitch, and add 2
stripes to the row, (as described in the 48th row.) Knit in the gusset
again, and then in 10 whole rows add 2 stripes as before; knit the
gusset, (which of course increases in size with the increased number of
stitches.) Add 2 stripes. Knit a gusset. Knit 6 stitches, pass the
thread forward, slip 1 stitch, take 2 stitches upon another needle, slip
another stitch, and, passing the 2 stitches, knit the 4 stitches
together, bring the thread forward and go on. In the next row, when you
come to where you have decreased, it will be necessary to knit 3
stitches together instead of 2. Decrease in the same manner twice in the
10 complete rows. Knit in a gusset. Decrease 4 times in the 10 whole
rows. Knit a gusset. Knit 20 whole rows. This completes half of the
cape; the other half must be knitted to correspond, only that you must
increase where before you decreased, and decrease where you increased.
_Night Cap._
With moderately fine cotton and 5 needles.
