MAKES PRETTY CAPE

IDEA FOR THOSE WHO ARE FOND OF CROCHET WORK. Comfortable Wrap for Invalids, as It Has Many Advantages Over the Shawl—Full Directions for Making. Ik The cape for which we give directions here may be worked in any good wool of medium thickness, with a bone hook. It is a very comfortable wrap, fitting better than a shawl, and fcr invalids or elderly ladies who like a little warm wrap in the house, is decidedly to be recommended in preference to a shawl. Commence with 74 chain stitches worked loosely. First Row—Pass over 4 chain, 1 treble Into each of the next chain to end of row; turn. Second Row—Four chain, 1 treble into each of the three first stitches of last row, then 2 into the next, continue with 1 into each till within fourth stitch of end of row, work 2 trebles into next, 1 into each of the three next. • Third Row —Four chain to turn, 1 treble into every stitch to end of row. Fourth Row—Four chain to turn, work 1 treble ihto each of five trebles, 2 into the next, repeat to end of row, working 2 into each sixth stitch. Fifth Row —Four chain to turn, 2 treble into first treble, 1 treble into each stitch until the last; in this work 2. Sixth Row—Four chain to turn, 1 treble into first stitch, 2 into next, then 2 in every sixth stitch, and one

In each of the others to end of row, 2 into last treble but one. Seventh Row —Four chain to turn, 2 trebles in each sixth stitch, and one in all the others to end of row.

Fifteenth to Eighteenth Rows—Like thirteenth row without increase, i Nineteenth Row—tffcur chain, trebles throughout, working 2 together in every sixth stitch. Twenty to Twenty-sixth Rows— Trebles without Increase. To form neck-band, work 1 treble into first stitch of 74 chain, 6 chain, miss 2, 1 treble In next, •, 2 chain* miss 2, 1 treble In next; repeat from ♦ to end of row. Ribbon or a crochet cord with tasseled ends can be threaded through this row. border: 1 1 First Row—One double into corner stitch, 3 chain, miss 3, 1 double into next all round cape. Second Row—One double into a space, 1 chain, 2 trebles into next space 8 chain, 2 more trebles into same space,’ 1 chain, 1 double into next space, repeat all round.

Third Row—Form an edge of 8 chain loops and 1 double worked evenly all round. The increases coming evenly one above the other, give a very pretty effect to the work. The cape may, of course, be made larger by working a longer foundation chain, and more rows in depth before commencing the edge.
