BONNETS DE NUIT D'HOMMES.

passer un

Ce bonnet se commence avec six aiguilles et une de rechange. Sur chacune se trouvent quarante six à cinquante mailles, lorsque le coton est fin. Les trois ou quatre premiers tours se font à l'envers; les deux suivants, qui se trouvent dans le bord, consistent en trous semblables à des crochets, dans lesquels on fait ruban pour affermir le bonnet. L'on tricote encore une étendue de deux pouces, pour former le reste du bord, qui s'appelle retroussis: ce reste consiste dans de petites côtes, qu'on obtient en tricotant alternativement quatre à cinq mailles unies, et quatre à cinq autres, dont une sur deux doit être à l'envers. Vient ensuite une rangée de trous ronds ou en forme de crochet, qui servent à régler le rempli du bonnet. Il faut tricoter ensuite le bonnet et à l'envers, parce que sans cela le retroussis seroit à l'envers. Tout l'ouvrage, ainsi que les ornements se continuent intérieurement. Le bonnet étant fini, on le retourne, afin que l'endroit soit en dehors. Le retroussis qui se trouve à l'envers, est remis à l'endroit par le rempli qu'on y fait.
