Paper, porridge and silk - Hand-embroidered cap from Askola, Finland

I started making my Askola costume from the top. I enrolled in a course and my teacher Marja Pihkala taught me and others how to make this silk cap using traditional methods. The pattern and the instructions are from Taito Etelä-Suomi: https://www.taitoetelasuomi.fi/index.... I thank Taina Kangas and Suomen Kansallispukukeskus (Finnish Crafts Museum) for the picture of the original French hood from Askola (KM KE A 2180). The cap itself belongs to Finnish Heritage agency.
