Pattern for Tudor woman's lettice cap

• Made exclusively by The Tudor Tailor

Sewing pattern for women's Tudor-era lettice caps. The unusual name for this cosy style of headwear comes from the short, white fur which was the winter coat of a weasle, and similar to ermine. The cap can be made from white fur or faux fur of your choice. Ideal for mid- and upper-class 16th century impressions. With full instructions for choosing materials and construction - perfect for reenactors.

Highly researched and based on documentary descriptions, extant examples and paintings. Please see the image of the pattern envelope for specific sources.

One size.

The Tudor Tailor also offers a lettice cap kit complete with the pattern and all the materials required, including high-quality, super-soft faux fur of just the right length.
