Join with sl st to top st of turning ch. 2nd rnd: Ch 3 (to count as d c), d c in each d c around, picking up only the front loop of each d c. Join with sl st to 3rd st of ch-3 first made. 3rd rnd: * Insert hook in back loops of previous row and the row below, thread over and draw through 2 loops, thread over and draw through remaining 2 loops. Repeat from * around (thus forming ridge), join. 4th rnd: Ch 3, * 2 d c in next st, d c in next st. Repeat from * around, making 5 d c in st directly over center d c of 9-d c groups on 1st rnd. Join. 5th and 6th rnds: Same as 2nd and 3rd rnds. Continue in this manner, making necessary increases to keep work flat, until oval measures about 6 inches wide and 7 inches long. This completes top of crown. Do not break off, but work side as follows: Make d c in each st around, without increasing, for 1½ inches. Fasten off.

Rolled Band … Starting at narrow end, make a chain 4 inches long. 1st row: D c in 4th ch from hook, d c in each ch across until row measures 3 inches. Cut off remaining chain. Ch 3, turn. 2nd, 3rd and 4th rows: D c in each d c across. Ch 3, turn. At end of 4th row, ch 1 to turn. 5th row: S c in each st across.

Repeat from * across. Ch 1, turn. 9th row: S c in each st across. Ch 1, turn. 10th row: Same as 6th row. Repeat the 7th to 10th rows incl. 2 more times, being sure to have the same number of sts on each row (3 ridges). Ch 3 to turn at end of last row. 19th row: D c in each st across (making d c's in usual way). Ch 3, turn. The last 18 rows (2nd to 19th rows incl.) constitute the pattern. Work in pattern until there are 8 sets of ridges (about 19 inches). Break off.

Finishing … Sew one end of Lastex ribbon to lower edge of crown at center of long side. Sew other end to corresponding position on other edge. Cut a piece of ribbon 19 inches long. Sew ends together, allowing ¼ inch at each end for seam (thus making band 18½ inches around). Sew band along inside of lower edge of crown. Sew short ends of Rolled Band together. Then, holding right side of Rolled Band to wrong side of crown (ribbon band), sew both pieces together with over-and-over stitches. Now cut a ½-inch thickness of cotton batting 3 x 19 inches. Cut a strip of chiffon 6 x 20 inches. Lay cotton on chiffon, and roll both together loosely (thus forming a long roll, about 3½ inches thick). Tack chiffon enough to hold roll together. Then sew ends of roll together, thus forming a ring. Slip this ring over crown. Turn Rolled Band back over cotton roll, and sew in place along bottom of d c-row below last ridge of crown.
