Elizabethan Round fitted cap for women

[Rowan MacD]

 LOL Pinn..I would let you have the first one, but I fear it's too big for most heads-It would cover a Princess Leia sized bun.

  These  are so easy to make!
   Weave the ribbon piece, then bead it to about 3/4" of the edge.
   Line it by machine, about 3/4 of the way around the circle.  Turn it  right side out, and finish the open edge by hand.
  To get the dome shape Start pinching small darts in the edge of the circle every couple of inches (the wire will hold it's shape). when it looks the way you want it, sew them down.  In my pictures you can see little wedge shaped places in the ribbon pattern; hide your darts in those.
   1/2" gimp on the edge covers nearly the whole dart.  You can use ribbon or pearls too..
   You will have a finished piece in about 3 hours, depending on how long you want to spend beading.
