When the hood is made up, satin ribbon is first run between the holes,
and then turned back, and stuffed with wool. It is turned over to the
second of the 8 plain rows. Satin ribbon is run between the 3 rows of
holes and the increased parts down the crown, which is sewed up. The
curtain, or frill, is sewed to the back part, and is knit as follows:--Cast
on 64 stitches, knit 18 plain rows, then take up the stitches at each side,
and knit a plain row; bring the wool forward, and knit 2 together for the
row, 1 plain row, cast off, then draw the ribbon through the holes, and
sew on the frill. The crown is neatly lined with white Persian, and
strings of sarcenet added. A rosette of ribbon is an improvement. Pink,
white, or blue wool, is the best colour to knit this hood in.
