Lace Cap

This beautiful lace cap is a perfect gift for a newborn baby or young child. It is easy to make, does not require a pattern, only takes a few hours to complete and is very inexpensive (although it looks otherwise).

To begin, draw the pattern directly on the fabric with a dress-maker's chalk pencil or make a paper pattern.
