The Costumer's Manifesto is written by Tara Maginnis, and proudly hosted by William Baker.

THE MANIFESTO IS MUTATING!  IT IS TURNING INTO A WIKI THAT CAN BECOME THE HIVE MIND OF ALL COSTUMERS, FINALLY LIVING UP TO IT'S SLOGAN: "COSTUMERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!" YOU CAN HELP IN THIS PROCESS BY MOVING PAGES TO THE NEW SITE AT THECOSTUMERSMANIFESTO.COM, HELPING TO EDIT THE PAGES THAT ARE THERE ALREADY, AND ADDING YOUR OWN ORIGINAL INPUT.

Girl's Hat & Decoration, c.1922
from Columbia Yarns

Girl's Hat

Columbia Lustra, 2 balls Black; Columbia Floss, 1 ball Tuxedo and 1 ball Jade; 6 balls Angora; Columbia Bone or Celluloid Crochet Hook size 4.

Crown: Using white Angora, ch 3, join to form a ring, 6 s c in ring.

  • Work rounds without joining and through both strands of st.
  • Round 2: 2 s c in each s c.
  • Round 3: * 2 s c in 1 s c, 1 s c in next s c and repeat from *.
  • Round 4: 2 s c in every third s c.
  • Round 5: 2 s c in every fourth s c.

Continue with 1 st more between increases until top measures 12 inches in diameter, about 30 rounds. Work 6 rounds even. Next decrease by skipping every fifth st until head size stretches to 24 inches and follow with 4 even rounds. These even rounds will bring the cap to 22-inch head size.

Brim: Using Lustra double, increase 1 st in every 5th st for 1 round; 3 rounds increasing in every 15th st; 3 rounds increasing in every 20th st and 1 round without increasing worked over milliner's wire.

Ornament: Cover 5 round wooden moulds with Tuxedo s c and 1 with black s c. Make the leaves as follows: Ch 7, turn, 1 s c in each s c, 3 s c in end, and 1 s c in each st of other side of ch. Turn, work back around both sides, (increasing around end enough to lie flat) but omit 3 sts on second side at stem end. Work back and forth in this manner omitting 3 Sts at end of each row until leaf is wide enough at top and then work 1 row all around. Make 4 leaves, group the orange balls around a black centre, mount on leaves and make a black ch st stem.

---from Columbia Yarns, n.d., pgs. 116-118.
