Crochet Pattern | The Filigree Cap

A close-fitting lace cap worked in the round from the crown down. Open rosette motifs sit across a fine alpaca ground, so the whole thing reads as filigree rather than knitwear.

Light enough to wear indoors, structured enough to hold its dome. Designed to be worn on its own, or layered over a plain cap for a two-tone version.
