 AB line is the top of the cap and is laid on a fold of the goods, therefore no seams are left at this edge. [sic] Allow seams on the pattern at the front line AG and the bottom line GF and the back edges, lines FE and EB.

To complete the pattern, cut a circle three and three-quarters inches across which allows for seams, and when finished will measure three inches across. The easiest way to cut a circle if you have no compass is to cut a square of paper three and three-quarter inches across, fold it in half as in Fig. 69. Then fold it again as in Fig. 70. Measure from the inner corner one and seven-eighths incheinches [sic]





and mark points every quarter of an inch apart. Then draw a curve touching these points. Cut along the curved line and use the paper circle as a pattern. Fig. 71 shows the finished cap.
