DO YOU LIKE KNITTING?

The Golden Arrow Club, Pareora East, Titnaru (leader Janet Whitticase), wants simple pattern of knitted dolls' clothes. Here is a Red Riding Hood outfit, Janet. Will this be suitable? And perhaps some other members and friends will send along patterns and suggestions. Other members may also like to make this Red Riding Hood outfit for their dolls.

Red Riding Hood’s Outfit

This Red Riding Hood cape is very easily made. It is really perfectly straight knitting, as simple as the making of a wash cloth. Of Use No. 5 knitting needles. This is the sue

course, for Riding Hood, your wool must be red. But use any colour that fits your colour scheme. For a doll 12 inches tall, cast on 30 stitches, and knit loosely, back and forth for 40 rows. Bind on, fold double the long way, and witn wool sew the top together. , Now crochet a chain about ns inches long, and, threading it into a large darning needle, run « through your knitting about two inches from the top, or far enoUo,n down so that it comes just at tne doll’s neck. This is the gathering cord which will hold the garment on. A small tassel at the back oi the hood and at each end of tne cord will make a neat decoration. To make a tassel: Round a earn two inches wide or round two fingers, wind a thread of wool strand eight or 10 times. double wool in a darning neettie. thread under wrapped wool at top and tie. Cut through the bottom. t Just below where the top is tieo, j wrap several strands of woo*, pull tight, and tie. Thread ta*

strands down through the tassd and cut all ends evenly at the rign* length.
