The model is for a child of one year, but very little alteration would be required for a younger baby, only the brim being made smaller to fit his head.

The materials required are 5 oz. of double Berlin wool, a medium bone hook, and two medium-sized steel knitting needles, 1½ yards of purl edged cream satin ribbon, the same both sides, and a lining, either soft flannel sold for the purpose, sarcenet or sateen about ½ yard would suffice if for a small baby; a cap front will also be needed.
