Cap
Add to album

This light brown knitted cap was discovered on a man's body found at Gunnister in Northmavine in Shetland, in the late 17th century. The cap was inside the man's clothing.

The cap has been knitted in a stocking stitch pattern - one row plain and one row purl.

Some of the possessions found with the man's body were a quill and writing board for writing and a horn, possibly for ink. He was also carrying a knitted woollen purse and a silk ribbon.
