Using the Pompadour and crochet hook, chain 3 and join in a ring. Ch. 3,
* wool over and pick up a loop in the ring, wool over and through all 3
loops on hook, thus forming 1 short double crochet stitch (1 s. d. c.),
ch. 1 and repeat from * 4 times; join to second ch. of the ch. 3 at
beginning of round, with a slip stitch thus forming six spaces.
Third round: 1 s. c., 3 d. c., 1 s. c. all in the first space, repeat in
each space of round, ch. 2, turn work and catch around first spoke of
second round with a slip stitch.
Fourth round: ch. 4, catch around next spoke and repeat all around; join
and turn.
Fifth round: 1 s. c., 6 d. c., 1 s. c. in first space and repeat all
around.
Sixth round: change to the Saxony, but do not fasten off Pompadour wool.
* 1 d. c. on the left side of s. c. of preceding round, 1 s. d. c. in
each of the next six stitches drawing them up so that the top of the
work is evenly high, 1 d. c. on the right side of next s. c. and repeat
from * all around. 48 stitches in round. Join.
Seventh round: draw Pompadour wool through from the back and pick up a
loop in the front thread of first stitch, then draw this same loop
through the loop on hook, thus forming one slip stitch. Make 1 slip
stitch in front thread of each stitch of previous round. Drop Pompadour.
Eighth round: with Saxony chain 2, to count as 1 s. d. c.; then make 1
s. d. c. in the back thread of each stitch of preceding round, excepting
that in the center stitch of each shell there are to be 2 s. d. c. 56 s.
d. c. in round. Join. Repeat the seventh round.
Tenth round: * 1 s. d. c. in back thread of each of the first three
stitches, 2 s. d. c. in next and repeat from * all around. Join.
Continue in this way alternating the Pompadour and Saxony rounds, on
each of the Saxony rounds having two more stitches between the
increasings until there are nine stitches between. Then make one Saxony
round without any increasing. Repeat Pompadour round. On the next Saxony
row the front of cap is commenced. Make 1 s. d. c. in each of the first
88 stitches and fasten off Saxony; the remaining stitches are left for
the neck portion. Repeat the Pompadour row once more then commence the
lattice pattern.
First pattern row: draw up a long loop of Pompadour and slip it on the
knitting pin, draw working thread in place. The pin is held under right
arm firmly. Hold wrong side of work toward you and with crochet hook *
pull a long loop of Pompadour through the double threads of second
stitch, slip it on pin and draw working thread in place. Repeat from *
in each stitch of row. 88 loops on pin. Slip loops from pin.
Second row: turn, * draw the second loop through the first loop and in
it make 1 s. c., then make 1 s. c. in first loop, thus forming the
lattice. Repeat from * all along the row. Fasten off Pompadour.
Third row: go back to other end, make a loop of Saxony on hook, then
make 88 s. d. c. along the row and fasten off. Take up both threads of
the previous row.
Fourth row: go back, as before and make 1 slip stitch in the front
thread of each stitch of third row. Use Pompadour.
Repeat these four rows, three times; on the last repetition of the third
row make 36 s. d. c., skip one stitch, 4 s. d. c., skip 1, 4 s. d. c.,
skip 1, 4 s. d. c., skip 1, 36 s. d. c., thus drawing in cap a little
around the face. Do not fasten off but turn and work across neck portion
of cap. Put two more stitches in corner, 2 stitches in end of lattice
row and 1 stitch in each of the other rows across front, across stitches
left from crown * make 1 stitch through the back threads of two stitches
taken together and repeat from * all across crown; then make second
front like first and fasten off. Make fourth row of slip stitches,
working across neck also.
Around entire cap, using the Pompadour wool, make a scallop as follows:
1 s. c. in first stitch, chain 3, 3 d. c. in same stitch, skip 3
stitches and repeat all around. At the corners skip 2 stitches _only_ to
prevent capping.
Rose ornament: make five rounds as directed for beginning of cap.
Sixth round: ch. 2, turn and catch around first spoke, ch. 6 and catch
around next spoke. Repeat all around; join and turn.
Seventh round: 1 s. c., 8 d. c., 1 s. c. in first space and repeat all
around. Fasten off. Make another ornament in same manner. Trim with
three rounds of narrow ribbon loops, one loop back of each rose petal.
Place tiny loop in center of each rose and center of crown.
