Cap composed of two pieces of bleached white machine plain woven cotton. The body of the hat is decorated with a series of panels filled with geometric patterns primarily based around triangles, diamonds and zig-zags. The patterns have been created using a technique similar to quilting. The upper section of the cap has a running stitch running the complete circumference which has then been gathered to create the desired shape.
