Alyssum Cap

The Alyssum Cap is inspired by one of my favorite annual blooms, Sweet Alyssum. The tiny honey scented blooms attract bees to my garden in the early Spring, and give balance to brightly colored nasturtiums in bouquets and garden borders. The cap is worked from the brim up, beginning with the edging. The Estonian inlay technique known as Roositud is worked to create the leaves and flowers and are worked as you work the piece. Simple decreases shape the crown. The cap is sized Unisex Kids M/L, Adult S/M, and Adult M/L.
