Latest Bonnet.
My latest bonnet based on XMark member Todd Bradshaw's Balmoral inspired pattern. It is an excellent and simple to use pattern that has a built in jaunty bit of flair.
I used some 100% wool Cadet Grey Kersey. I wanted to make a bonnet in a neutral, but not as often seen color. The grosgrain ribbon badge cockade is fully removable, and I made a variety to swap out as required.
The fit is perfect for my large, 7 & 5/8ths noggin, and looks far better than it does on this undersized Styrofoam display head.
