Interweave SKU: EP9956

The Macedonian Cap was inspired by a pair of early-twentieth-century women’s half sleeves that are in the collection of the Museum of Macedonia in Skopje, Macedonia. I used the traditional motifs from the half sleeves and knitted them into a hat, a popular item in the markets in Skopje.
