Description: Long cap with tassel in "paper-dolls"pattern. It works up very prettily - see the one I made pictured below in blue and cream. Sizing says 6-8 years but I made the smallest size for a 3 year old, which was fine as the hat is quite stretchy, and toddlers tend to have large heads; I did make the gloves dramatically smaller though. Both hat and mittens are knitted on 2 needles.
