Cast 2 stitches on each of 4 needles: increase 2 stitches on each
needle; in the next round, increase 1 stitch on each needle; make a seam
in the middle of each needle and increase on each side of it every other
round, until you have a sufficient number of stitches for the size of
your cap. Leave off seaming the middle stitches and knit round until
your cap is 3/4 of a yard long, then finish the end like the beginning,
decreasing where you before increased.
_Night Cap._
French Pattern.
Cast 2 stitches on each of 4 needles, knit round increasing them to 4,
next round increase 1 on each needle and make seams of the centre
stitches. Knit round increasing 1 stitch on each side of the seam
(leaving 3 stitches between the 2 that are increased) on each needle.
When your cap is large enough round, leave off seaming and knit round
until the cap is 3/4 of a yard long: make the end like the beginning.
_Lambs’-wool Sleeve._
Cast on each of 3 needles 18 or 24 stitches according to the size of the
sleeve wished for; knit and rib 3 stitches alternately until the sleeve
is about 3 inches long. Then take coarser needles and coarser
lambs’-wool and knit plain until the sleeve is nearly long enough, and
finish by ribbing it again for about an inch and a half.
_Cephaline._
To be worn on the head on leaving heated rooms.
A mesh 3/4 of an inch wide and one 1/4 that width are required. It
may be netted in flox silk or fine lambs’-wool.
Net a row of 60 stitches and back again with the large mesh (these are
the middle rows). Net a row with the fine mesh. The next row is netted
with the large mesh 3 stitches in each stitch, then a row with the fine
mesh taking each stitch separately. Afterwards a row with the large mesh
2 stitches in each of the first 60 stitches, 1 in each of the next 60,
and 2 in each of the rest; a narrow row; a Wide row without increase; a
narrow row; a wide row 3 stitches in each stitch. Repeat these rows on
the other side, beginning at the first narrow row.
Run a ribbon through the middle rows, sew the ends to the ribbon and the
Cephaline is made.
