About this Product
This digital download pattern contains easy-to-follow instructions to crochet the La Tice Juliet Cap.
La Tice is elegant and romantic, modern yet classic.
Crocheted in joined rounds, the hat starts at the top with treble crochet, the laciest of the basic stitches.
Then comes the real lace: the striking lattice-stitch inset band. Discovered in a vintage craft magazine, the lattice stitch might seem intimidating at first glance. However, broken down into its component parts – simple chains, slip stitches and single crochet – it’s quite doable. And, in addition to the written instructions, the pattern includes a chart to help visualize what stitch goes where.
The cap finishes with a single-crochet border for a head-hugging fit.
Use a DK-weight yarn of your choice: Perhaps a silk-bamboo or cotton for a summery look or maybe a merino wool for a transitional accessory to take you from fall into winter – or winter into spring.
La Tice is sized for S, M and L (21-23 in./53-58 cm head circumferences).
YARN:
DK-weight yarn (#3 Light).
WHAT YOU GET:
A 4-page PDF pattern that also provides links to my website -- www.hatsbyelvee.com -- for technique tutorials and stitch definitions for new crocheters. The pattern uses written instructions using American crochet terms.

Meet the Maker
The Chunky Guy Beanie, pictured here, is my best-selling pattern, with hundreds sold to makers from around the world. The pattern exemplifies what I love most about crochet and knitting: An easy pattern can produce a classic look as well as an enjoyable crafting experience.
Almost all of my patterns use simple, basic stitches. I occasionally venture into intermediate territory -- but only if the end result is worth the extra effort.
One of my favorite activities is to round up a few balls of yarn and experiment with stitches and shapes and color combinations. It's an adventure to find out what kind of hat the yarn wants to be. A sassy, lacy Juliet cap for summer? A rugged, ribbed topper for frigid days? A snazzy fedora that evokes vintage glamor?
I really enjoy doing my small part in bringing warmth and beauty into the world, one hat at a time. My wish is that you enjoy making/wearing/gifting hats from my patterns as much as I enjoyed creating them!
Happy crocheting/knitting!
