NO. 2. Using the white yarn make a chain of 37 stitches, join.
1. Chain 3, a treble in each stitch, join.
2, 3. With pink, make a double in each stitch, join. Repeat 1st, 2d and
3d rows 3 times, which will give you 4 ribs each of pink and white.
13. Chain 3, with white, miss 1st stitch of last row, make a treble in
next, then a treble back in 1st stitch, forming a crossed treble; repeat
around, join.
14. With pink, a double in a stitch, chain 3; repeat. Fasten off
securely.
For the foot:
1. With white, fasten in the 17th treble from back of leg, draw up a
loop through each of 6 stitches, keeping all on needle; take up yarn and
draw through 1st stitch, * again draw through 2, and repeat until all
are worked off; now insert hook under the little upright bar formed by
working off the last row, draw up a loop and repeat until you have again
the number of loops on needle; continue until you have 9 rows of
afghan-stitch.
Again using white, fasten at back of leg and make a double in each
stitch of leg and around the instep; make 4 more rows of doubles, 1 in
each stitch of preceding row, taking up both loops to avoid a rib, then
5 rows of pink in the same way, joining the last row as before directed.
Finish with cord and tassels or ribbon, run in the 4th row of trebles
around top of bootee.
A Sweater and Cap for Dolly
[Illustration: Sweater and Cap for Dolly]
One skein of white and blue Saxony will be sufficient for two sets; use
a crochet-hook that will carry the wool easily. Commence the sweater
with a chain of 60 stitches.
1. A double in each stitch of chain, turn.
2. A treble and a double in back of double of last row (chain 3 for 1st
treble of the row), miss 1 double; repeat to end of row, turn.
3. A treble and a double taken between treble and double of last row;
repeat.
4. A double in back of each stitch of last row (chain 1 for 1st double).
5. Same as 4th row. This completes the portion over the shoulder.
On one half the length repeat the 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th and again the 2d row
which completes one front. Work in the same way on the other half of
length, which brings you to the center of the back and makes half of the
sweater. Make the other half to correspond, and join neatly down center
