one in the web. When the same number of rows is narrowed the filling should be entirely covered. The end left over will serve as a cord for the ball. Flat web may be used by taking twelve pieces three inches long and sewing them together--alternating color and white, if desired. Run a draw-thread around the bottom and fill with paper or cotton; then run a draw-thread around the top. Finish with a cord made of a piece of round web. [Illustration] Doll's Muff This will require three yards of round web. Sew the web into a rectangular piece three inches wide and five inches long. Join the three-inch ends together and draw up the ends a little to form the muff. Finish with cord to go around the neck. [Illustration] Collarette Round web five yards. Measure the doll's neck for collar. Gradually widen each row in the back. Bring the third row of web down in front to form the tabs; then up to the back of collarette and finish the back, bringing the last row down in front into the tabs. Paper patterns may be used as a guide, but children should be encouraged to draw and cut their own patterns. [Illustration] Tam O' Shanter Cap Measure the doll's head and make the top of the crown twice the diameter of the head. It is sewed in the same way as the circular mat. When the desired width of crown is obtained, begin the under side of the crown by narrowing off--that is, taking two stitches in the crown and sewing them into one stitch in the web. Continue until the desired opening for the head is obtained. Two rows of web will complete the headband. Finish with a pompon on top. Use round web. [Illustration] Baby's Rattle The foundation ring is made of a piece of splint or flat pith fifteen inches long. Form this into a ring, having the ends lap two inches. Wrap this with knitting cotton or yarn, being careful to keep winding even. When the winding is completed, draw the end of cotton underneath the winding with a needle to fasten it. Use three pieces of round web for spokes. Fasten all three together in the center. Bells may be sewed on the outside or inside of the ring. [Illustration] Toboggan Cap To make a cap five inches long and four inches wide, knit eighty-four inches of flat web. Begin five inches from the end of the web, turn and sew into a rectangular form five inches wide and eight inches long. Join the five-inch ends, and draw in the t
