For bad hair days or whenever you want to cover your head with something pretty but not super warm, this lacy cap will do the trick!

The cap can be made with a smaller hook to be form-fitting; to add more slouch or for bigger heads, you can make the hat longer by repeating a few rounds.

The lace pattern is prettiest when slightly blocked, and the hat will be quite stretchy for a crocheted piece.

Gauge: 1 pattern repeat (from tip of point to tip of next point) = 10cm/4” wide, blocked

Yarn requirements: About 60 to 80 yards of bulky yarn - amount required depends on hook size and size of the cap.
