In making a cap tor preserving the wave in sleep it is better to err on the large side than the small, as a tight fit will drag the waves out of position. Crochet cotton Is an ideal medium for working, and for this cap one ball is required in any shade, with a crochet hook, No. 4½.

This cap is commenced at the centre crown, the rose being part of the cap and not attached afterwards, much more satisfactory and practical idea for sleeping wear.
