Materials Required:
2 skeins, Bear Brand Zephyr Shetland.
2 skeins, Bear Brand Pompadour.
1 bone crochet hook, No. 1.

[Illustration]
The work is begun at the neck with the Pompadour wool. Chain 147, turn,
skip 1 ch., 1 single crochet stitch (1 s. c.) in the next, * ch. 4, skip
4 chs., 1 s. c. in the next and repeat from * to the end of the row.
Fasten off.
Second row: go back to the beginning of first row and using the Zephyr
Shetland, make 4 double crochet stitches (4 d. c.) in each chain loop
across row drawing up the stitches so they are three-eighths of an inch
high. Fasten off at the end of each row and begin next row at the other
end.
Third row: use Pompadour and make 1 s.c. in the first stitch * ch. 4, 1
s. c. in the space between clusters and repeat from * all across, ending
with 1 s. c. in the final stitch of previous row.
Every other row is made like the third row and no further mention will
be made of it.
Fourth row: like second row until 6 clusters have been made. Make 3 d.
c. in the next s. c. (thus increasing), make 8 clusters, increase as
before, 9 clusters, increase, 6 clusters to end.
Sixth row: use Zephyr Shetland. Make 6 clusters, increase, 1 cluster,
increase again (thus commencing first shoulder), 18 clusters across
back, increase, 1 cluster, increase, 6 clusters. Every other row is made
of the Zephyr Shetland.
Eighth row: 6 clusters, increase, 3 clusters, increase, 9 clusters,
increase, 9 clusters, increase, 3 clusters, increase, 6 clusters.
Tenth row: 6 clusters, increase, 5 clusters, increase, 19 clusters,
increase, 5 clusters, increase, 6 clusters.
Twelfth row: 6 clusters, increase, 7 clusters, increase, 10 clusters,
increase, 9 clusters, increase, 7 clusters, increase, 6 clusters.
Fourteenth row: 6 clusters then fasten off. This is the first short row
of left front. On it work the pattern rows 5 times, 6 rows in all. On
the second and every d. c. row increase in the s. c. preceding the final
cluster to shape the arm hole.
The short rows for the back are next to be made.
Skip to the other side of second increasing of shoulder, work to first
increasing on second shoulder and fasten off. Work 6 rows in all across
the back, increasing in the center of every second row.
The right front is made like the left, increasing at the beginning of
rows instead of at the end.
First long row below the arms, work with Pompadour wool, as usual,
across the first front, ch. 4, work across back, ch. 4 and across second
front. On this row repeat the pattern rows until there are 8 cluster
rows, on these cluster rows increasing in the center of back on every
other cluster row. The last row will be a Pompadour row. Do not fasten
off, turn, work up the front around neck and down second front. Fasten
off. With the Zephyr Shetland make 4 single crochet stitches in each
loop around the bottom and down the fronts.
Begin at the neck of left front and with the Pompadour make * 1 d. c. in
the second s. c. below, then 1 d. c. in the first s. c., crossing it
over first d. c. Repeat from * around the three sides of jacket. In the
4 stitches of each corner work the 2 crossed d. c. in one stitch, to
keep the corners full enough for the succeeding rows.
Second border row: with Zephyr Shetland make 1 d. c. in each stitch of
previous row, taking up both threads of stitch.
Third row: use Pompadour and make 1 s. c. in each stitch, taking up both
threads.
Fourth row: like second. Turn and make 1 s. c. in first stitch, * ch. 3,
4 d. c. in same stitch, skip 3 stitches along edge, 1 s. c. in the next
and repeat from * around jacket and neck. Join and fasten off.
Sixth row: use Pompadour and work on the right side. Make 1 s. c. in the
center skipped stitch on fourth row, * ch. 3, 1 s. c. in top of ch. loop
on fifth row, ch. 3, 1 s. c., ch. 3, 1 s. c., ch. 3, 1 s. c., all in the
same loop, ch. 3, 1 s. c. in center of next 3 skipped stitches on fourth
row, and repeat from *. Join and fasten off.
Sleeve. Make a foundation row of chains and s. c. in Pompadour,
beginning at one end of the yoke and working down and around the arm
hole to the opposite point of the yoke. This row when completed,
corresponds to the third row.
Second sleeve row: work clusters in Zephyr Shetland. Continue in pattern
without increase, until there are 13 cluster rows, in all. Next cluster
row make 3 d. c. in each cluster instead of 4 d. c. On the next
Pompadour row, ch. 3 instead of 4. Make a cluster row having 2 d. c. in
each cluster, followed by a Pompadour row having 2 chs. to each loop.
The sleeve should be the proper size for the wrist. Sew up. Finish with
a border like that around the body of jacket and fasten off. Make second
sleeve like first.
Through the open neck row run a cord chained of Zephyr Shetland and
finished with tassels of the same.
