This is a rather small cap ; it may be enlarged by casting on an extra number of stitches, allowing 3 for every rib, and ktg 1 or 2 more conical stripes, increasing the band in proportion.

For those who prefer more sober colours, claret and blue, with the gold and white divisions, or claret, with scarlet and black divisions, looks remarkably well.

This is a pretty cap for children, in the bright colours ; and lined with the oiled silk, is very durable.

The quantity of wool required is 4 skeins each of scarlet, green, and blue, 2 of claret, 8 of yellow, and 4 of white.

Knitted with chenile, with a gold cord and small tassels round the band, and gold tassel on the top, it is truly splendid.

Original pattern calls for size 14 needles which are equivalent to US 0 and Berlin wool which is roughly in the modern lace weight range
