Ladybug Cap & Daisy Pin

Go whimsical with an ever-so-fun crocheted Ladybug Cap—perfect for a party-ready look or for just traipsing along on a summer day!

The cap is worked in rounds from bottom to top and consists of a two layered brim with fun eye-buttons sewn on bottom layer, band, top crocheted button and detachable Daisy Pin. Polka dots (contrasting puff stitches) are worked as you go carry the yarn throughout.

Daisy pin is a wonderful accent for a hat, sweater, bag, scarf, gloves or whatever you can think of! Find a fun way to make your own!
