“With the Monmouth Cap, and cutlace by my side,
Striding at least a yard at every stride,
I'm come to tell you, after much petition,
The Admiralty has given me a comission.”
-A Satrye on Sea Officers. Sir H.S., published with the Duke of Buckingham's "Miscellanies" (1825)
Monmouth caps, Dutch caps, or Pirate caps! This warm knitted cap is what you need to keep out the cold. Originally knitted with a 2 ply wool then felted, this is the ultimate in a sailor’s cap. This cap has documented history back into the 16th century. I hope you enjoy the pattern.
Size: This hat will fit an average size man’s head (22”).
You will receive enough naturally processed and plant dyed yarn to complete the hat, the pattern, and a reusable 100% cotton drawstring bag.
