"Infant's wool or slightly heavier yarn is used in making this knitted babushka. The original was made of white (about 4 balls); using number 10 wooden knitting needles. There are nine scallops across the front and it has a triangular point with the fringe in the back. It measures 42 inches across the long edge and 22 inches to the point in back."
I don't think those wooden size 10 are today's size ten (the conversion chart says they're a 3); but this is a pretty pattern, and the entire issue is on the Internet Archive as a free download (pps 6-8).
Gotta love a comfy babushka! Maybe I can inspire Sister #2 to make me one....
