_8th round_. Double crochet, increasing in every eighth stitch.--

_9th round_. Double crochet, increasing as before; repeat from fourth
round four times, then work 1 l, 2 ch, miss 2 three times, then three
rounds of double crochet without increasing; work these last six rounds
three more times. This completes the bonnet.

_For the Roll_.--Make a chain the width required; work three rows in
double crochet; three rows 1 l, 2 ch, miss 2; after which work
alternately three rows of double crochet; three rows 1 l, 2 ch, miss 2,
increasing a stitch at the beginning and end of each row; these six rows
may be repeated five more times, or till the size wished for is worked.
Make up the bonnet on a foundation covered with blue silk, form the roll
for the edge with wadding, trim with a small plume of blue feathers, or
a rosette of blue ribbon.

The above directions are for a bonnet for an infant of five or six
months old, but by increasing the number of rounds and rows for the roll
a larger size may be worked.
