Knit in the round on 5mm needles, this traditional Highland bonnet, made popular during the Victorian period, is fulled after knitting to the perfect size. Any feltable yarn of similar weight should work for this.

Shown here without a toorie (pompom), one may be added if desired.

Simple and quick to knit and a great addition to traditional Highland costume, this is a very practical and satisfying hat to make.
