 NETTED

OPERA - HOOD.

BY MRS. JANE WEAVER.

THE materials for this useful and pretty hood are two ounces of white, half an ounce of colored, Berlin wool ; a netting- needle ; meshes of two sizes. Begin in the middle with white wool. Put on sixtyfour stitches, and net forward and backward. At the end of each row or line, leave the last stitch of the preceding row without netting, until the number is reduced to one stitch, which finishes half of the hood. Then tie the thread on to the other side of the stitches put on at the commencement, and work as before, until the number of stitches on that side is also reduced to one, which completes the foundation. The border is worked all round the outer edge with white wool. For the 1st row: Net one stitch in each stitch round the hood. 2nd row: Net 5 stitches in one stitch, and pass over the next stitch.
