turn on
reverse side, 3 ch., d.c. on 1st l., 2 ch., 1 l. on next l.; after
this, work 3 sq., 2 ch., 1 l. under the 5 ch., turn on reverse side, 5
ch., 1 l. under the 2 ch., 2 ch., 1 l. on next l.; after this, work 2
sq., 2 ch., d.c. on next l., turn on reverse side, 3 ch., d.c. on 1st
l., 2 ch., 1 l. on next l.; after this, work 2 sq., 2 ch., 1 l. under
5 ch., turn on reverse side, 5 ch., 1 l. under 2 ch., 2 ch., 1 l. on
next l.; after this, work 1 sq., 2 ch., d.c. on next l. This finishes
the slope on one side; now slope the other side the same, only
beginning on the wrong side of the work instead of the right. Now
crochet the two sides together, and under every space, and under the
chain stitches which form the slope, all round and where the crown is
to be sewed in, work 2 d.c. stitches; and round the front and back,
where the border will be worked, crotchet 3 d.c. stitches into every
space, making 7 d.c. at the 2 corners.

FOR THE CROWN OF THE CAP.--Make 7 ch., unite, 7 ch., d.c. into every
loop, thus making 7 chains of seven. The cotton must be cut off at
every row.

2nd: D.c. into centre loop of 7, 7 ch., repeat.

3rd: D.c. into centre loop of 7, 7 ch., d.c. on d.c. stitch, 7 ch.,
repeat.

4th: Same as 2nd.

5th: Same as 3rd.

6th: Same as 2nd.

8th: Same as 3rd.

Now repeat again 2nd, 3rd and 2nd rows.

12th: D.c. into centre loop of 7, 5 ch., repeat.

13th: 1 l., 2 ch., 1 l. into 3rd loop all round, including the d.c.
stitches. In this row there are not sufficient stitches for the next
row by 5, therefore for 5 times miss 1 loop instead of 2, at different
intervals. There must be 114 squares in this row, therefore it is not
very material whether 1 loop or 2 be missed occasionally, so that 114
squares are made.

14th: 10 l., 3 sq., * 9 l., 3 sq., repeat from * all round

15th: 10 l. the 1st on 4th l. of the 10 l, * 3 sq., 9 l., repeat from
*.

16th: Same as last.

17th: 10 l. the 1st on the last of the 9 l., * 3 sq., 9 l., repeat
from *.

18th: 10 l. the 1st on the last l. of the 2nd sq., * 3 sq., 9 l.,
repeat from *.

19th: The same as last row. This pattern is simply the same as the
insertion in the front.

20th: 1 l., 2 ch., miss 1 loop, repeat.

21st: 5 ch., d c. on every l.

22nd: 5 ch., d.c. into centre loop of 5 ch., repeat.

23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th, and 27th: The same as 22nd.

28th: 1 l. into the centre loop of the 5 ch., 2 ch., repeat.

29th: Begin on a l. stitch, 10 l. i
