Florence is a cap and booty set worked in a classic lace pattern. The cap begins with an I-Cord that functions as both a firm edge and ties, and stitches are picked up to work the body of the cap. The booties begin with the soles and then stitches are picked up wo work the foot and top.

When slipping stitches with yarn in front, slip stitches as if to purl. When slipping stitches with yarn in back, slip stitches as if to knit.
