Last year's hats

So... uh.... these are the hats I mentioned last year when I posted my Holly Hood....


Nothing super-amazing, sadly. Four-panel Birka style hat (childs) out of coarse-woven blue silk, with green stitching.


Four-panel Birka style hat (Adult-lg) out of coarse-woven red silk, with red stitching.


Long, Rus style hat (adult-m) out of coarse-woven red silk, with navy blue silk trim. It's lacking the metal passementerie 'beads' for the point, as I don't know how to do those. Also, not sure if they were never done made without them, or we've just never found evidence of them except when the metal preserved part of the hat.


Blue linen Dublin cap, without the curved seam (left that for the recipient to fit to their own head).


Grey linen Dublin cap, likewise without the curved seam.

Sorry, yeah. Not super exciting, this time. All given as largesse to the Coronets of Avacal, whom, I believe dispersed them to other royals to use as largesse. Hopefully they found good homes! They were nice hats! :)
