Flat cap

Description
-
Similar to other caps from this time, this cap of green wool highlights the protective nature of these caps with ear flaps and a longer neck. Construction suggests that this cap was worked flat joining in the round for the top and the ear flaps were constructed separately and seamed at the end. During this time, knitted caps were usually felted heavily in order to imitate velvet.
