A bonnet is a form of cap typically associated with the Scots although it was worn by many in the north of England and on the continent. During the 17th century blue bonnets were issued to the troops of the Marquis of Newcastle.
Typically a bonnet was knitted and then felted. Cloth bonnets were considered the providence of the poor during the 16th and 17th centuries.
