1840 Ribbed Cephaline
US 6 (4mm)
You will need approximately 3 oz of the main color (A) and 2 oz of the secondary (B).
This Cephaline is a tad large for my small head, measuring 20 inches across. You can easily increase or decrease the number of stitches cast on to make it smaller or larger.
I echo the sentiments of Miss Frances S Lambert, in her Handbook of Needlework (published in 1846), who says “So many books of instruction, on the art of knitting, have of late appeared, that it would be presumptuous in us to hope - and far from our wish or intention - to supersede their use, or to attempt to rival their ingenuity: we would rather humbly endeavor to assist those, who either have not patience or tact to follow the rules given (in some cases, perhaps, with a little too much technicality), and offer a few directions of the simplest kind, as a prelude to a better acquaintance with this useful art.”
