Mob Cap for Tea Time for American Girl
Knit a cute mob cap for your doll to wear to tea.
The cap, which is based on Elizabeth Zimmermann’s Pi Shawl formula, begins with a provisional cast on at the center and is knit in the round outward towards the hem. The cap is enlarged using a series of knit front & back increase rows. A row of eyelets is formed using yarn overs, followed by a ruffle. Finally, a crocheted chain or narrow ribbon is threaded through the eyelets to create the perfect fit.
Shown with Tea Time Colonial Dress; the pattern for which can be purchased here. The ruffle on the cap matches the ruffle on the hem of the dress.
