We've made this cloche many times each time with the purpose of perfecting the pattern.
Finally we discovered the secret!

It used to take me two weeks to make this cloche. Time to spot mistakes, and make corrections. Yes, it looks perfect, but only because mistakes are looked for, and corrected quickly.

Aiming for perfection, this is as good as it gets!

Beautiful lace pattern, crocheted with thread.

Large fits a 23" to 23.5" head.
Designed to be a snug fit.

The mannequin has a 22 inch head, and is wearing medium.

A lot of meticulous labor goes into making this little cap with thousands of stitches.
