Voyageur cap

Discover the timeless allure of historical headwear with our versatile hat pattern, known by many names throughout the centuries. Whether you call it a Voyageur cap, a tuque, a double cap, or a sailor's cap, this knitting pattern draws inspiration from authentic caps dating back to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Each design is accompanied by detailed historical notes and references, allowing you to connect with the rich heritage of these hats as you create your own.

As you embark on your knitting journey, please note that many knitters are finding these hats run a little large. This extra room is perfect if you plan to full the hat significantly for a weatherproof finish. However, if you intend to do only a light fulling, we recommend opting for a slightly smaller size to achieve the perfect fit. Embrace your creativity and bring history to life with this unique knitting pattern!
