Hats and Caps

Varied types of head-dress used thoughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance as a protection against weather or, more often, to indicate the social status, or as a fashion accessory. Here you can only find patterns for sewn hats, although felt hats were also popular. Those hardly anyone can make at home.
