INSTRUCTIONS

This hood is crocheted with white yarn. Little daisies are embroidered on the turnover and blue ribbon is used for trimming.

Start on the turnover. Make a chain of 80 stitches.

1st row: Take up 1 loop in each stitch on the chain; put yarn over hook and pull through 1 loop at a time.

2nd row: Pick up the loops in the back of the loops on 1st row; put yarn over hook and pull through 1 loop at a time. Repeat 2nd row.

Make 11 rows for the turnover; then break off the yarn.

Next row: Leave 8 stitches (or loops) at end of turnover, fasten the yarn, make 1 chain and take up 1 loop in the 9th stitch on preceding row. Put yarn over hook, pull through 1 loop; yarn over and pull through last loop.

Repeat this stitch in every loop in preceding row, with exception of taking 2 loops together 5 times.

Leave 8 loops at end of row (same as in beginning), make 1 chain, turn.

2nd row: Same as 1st row, taking up in the double stitch on row below. Repeat 2nd row.

Work forward and back for 17 rows.

Leave 22 stitches on each side and work on 15 stitches in middle. Increase 1 stitch on each side of row, for 4 rows. Work 11 rows. Decrease 1 stitch on each side of row, for 3 rows.

Sew together. Make 1 row in the double crochet at bottom of hood; have 1 chain between each double crochet, taking up in every other row and every other stitch. This row is for the ribbon.

Work 5 rows, same as on turnover, in the purled Afghan stitch. Join both ends to turnover. Finish off edge all around with 1 row in the slip stitch (see first stitches, pages 8–9).

Work 4 Marguerites on turnover 1½ inches apart.

Marguerite: Start in center, make a loop stitch about ⅝ of an inch in length and repeat the same stitch all around.

Make 2 bows of ribbon, place them on the turnover and fasten them through hood.

Pull ribbon through at bottom and have the ends long enough to tie.
