Description

This cap was inspired by the beautiful caps worn by the people in Kutch and Baluchistan.

The embroidery is densely worked and detailed but is quite forgiving. In the original pieces, not all stitches are exactly the same size, and while there is a pattern to the placement of the colours, frequently there is a different colour or shade inserted to give an element of surprise and interest.

So while you work this cap, forgive yourself if not all the stitches are identical or the lines aren't absolutely straight.

When the project is finished the colour, flashing mirrors and movement in the pattern will give the 'Wow!' factor to your work.
