The crown is now finished; it is to be drawn up with a needle and wool.
The opening at the back must be sewn up; and a band, corresponding with the plain knitting in front, is to be formed by raising fifty-six stitches in pink, and knitting three plain rows, with the No. 18 needles. Then, with white, cast sixteen stitches on the same needle, and knit seventy-two stitches; cast on sixteen stitches, and knit three rows of eighty-eight stitches. In the next row,--bring the wool forward, knit two together. Knit six plain rows.
With the large needles, form the ruff, by knitting two rows in white, and two in pink; then, work twenty-two rows--knitting four rows in white, and two in pink, alternately. Cast off, and sew it, so as to form a very loose double ruff round the throat.
For the front of the hood, raise eighty-two stitches, and, with the No. 18 needles, knit one plain row. Then, with the large needles,--knit two plain rows in white; two in pink; and four in white. Cast off.--This, when sewn double, finishes the borders of the hood. It is to be drawn, with ribbon, at the back and front.
