These hats have many names depending on what century you are in and which part of the world. Whether you know them as a Voyageur cap, a tuque, a double cap or a sailor’s cap, this pattern is based on surviving caps from the seventeeth and eighteenth centuries and is accompanied by historical notes and references.

Note: A lot of people are finding these are running a little big, this is fine if you are going to be fulling down a lot for a weatherproof hat, but if your plan is to full only lightly then I suggest making a slightly smaller size.
