A Bonnet Cap
Cast on ninety stitches, in hair-brown German wool, for border.—No. 16 needles.
First, second, and third rows—plain knitting.
Fourth row—bring the wool forward, knit two together. Then,—
Commence with another colour—say white.
Fifth, sixth, and seventh rows—plain knitting.
Eighth row—bring the wool forward, knit two together.
Repeat these last four rows seven times: then the brown border as before. They form a band of about four inches wide, which is to be drawn up at the two ends, and strings attached to tie it close to the chin.
Then, cast on forty stitches and commence another band with the brown border as above,—three rows of the pattern in white, and repeat the brown border. This is to be sewn or knitted on to the head piece, and forms the band for the back. A ribbon is to be run through it, to tie it close to the head.
