Eighth row: increase in the usual way but have 3 stitches between the
increasings.
Continue to increase in this way on every other row, always having one
more plain stitch between the increasings until there are 16 rows, in
all. 63 stitches on pin.
Seventeenth row: bind off 5 stitches, knit 55, bind off the 54th stitch
over the 55th then knit and bind off the remaining stitches, thus
binding off 5 stitches on each end. Fasten off Angora.
Make the next 4 rows with Glossilla.
First row: knit plain.
Second row: k. 1, then k. 2 in each stitch all across the row, ending
with k. 1 in the final stitch.
Third row: knit plain.
Fourth row: k. 1, then k. 2 together all across the row, ending with k.
1 in the final stitch.
* Using the Angora knit six rows; then 4 rows of Glossilla, in pattern,
as before. Repeat from * then knit 6 rows of Angora. Run the stitches on
to a thread and sew up the crown seam of cap.
Pick up all the stitches across the neck of cap and on them knit 8 rows,
with Angora, followed by 7 rows, in pattern, with Glossilla, then bind
off on the eighth row.
Pick up the stitches along one end of the neck rows, take the stitches
from the thread on to the pin again, then pick up the stitches along the
other end of neck rows. Knit 10 rows, with Angora, then finish with the
eight rows of Glossilla as was done around the neck.
Fold back the front for a turn over and trim with ribbons, as
illustrated.
MUFF. Using the Angora cast on 45 stitches and knit 12 rows; then * with
Glossilla, knit 4 rows in pattern as directed for cap, followed by 12
rows of Angora. Repeat from * three times, binding off on the last
Angora row.
Lay the side edges of the work together for the top of the muff. Pick up
36 stitches across the top, with Angora, taking them through both sides
at once. Knit 5 rows, then with Glossilla, knit 7 rows in pattern and
bind off on the eighth row.
Using the Eiderdown and crochet hook, make the lining, as follows: make
a chain long enough to reach around the end and on it work in single
crochet stitches, _very loosely_ until the lining is the same size as
the outside of muff. Sew up. Slip inside and sew the two pieces together
around the ends using Angora wool.
Trim with ribbon as illustrated.
STOLE. Using the Angora, cast on 2 stitches and knit them.
Second row: knit two stitches in each stitch.
Third row: k. 2 in first stitch, k. 1 in each of the remaining stitches.
Repeat the third row until there are 20 stitches on the pin. * Change to
Glossilla and knit 4 rows in pattern, as directed for cap; then 12 rows
with Angora. Repeat from *; then make 4 rows with Glossilla. On the
first row of the next Angora stripe knit together the two first and two
last stitches, then finish the 12 rows as usual. Follow with Glossilla
rows. Decrease in same manner on each of the next two Angora stripes.
There will be 14 stitches on pin. On these 14 stitches make 3 more
stripes of the Angora with Glossilla stripes between; then the
increasings must begin to make second end match the first. On this end
the increasing is done on the _first_ row of each of the _Glossilla_
stripes until there are again 20 stitches on the pin. Finish the end by
narrowing off to a point. Using the Angora _only_ make another piece in
plain knitting exactly same size and shape for lining. Overhand the two
pieces together using a thread of Angora.
Draw up one edge of stole in the middle part of it enough to make it fit
well around the neck.
Finish each end with a tail made, as follows: cast on 2 stitches, with
Angora; increase one stitch when beginning each row until there are 18
stitches on the pin. Knit 11 rows of 18 stitches each and bind off.
Place a little soft cotton inside and sew up.
Trim with ribbon and place ribbon ties on stole.
