Fine sheer cotton infant cap, entirely hand stitched. One piece around front and sides, joined at center back with sort of self insertion. Crown is a small circle. Embroidered in white cotton satin stitch with a leafy vine around head, ‘berries’ are varying sized eyelets; crown is divided by satin stitch borders into quarters, centered with leaflets. Tiny dots fill the ground. Plied cotton drawstrings tie at center front and center back. Quite small.
