The main part of the hat is crocheted in a bubble-like pattern. Black ribbon is woven through the head piece, ribbon woven through the neck line which comes out in front to be tied around the chin as a strap. On the crest of the bonnet, the crochet forms flower-like edges, finished and sewn with black thread in Y stitch & black ribbon through the flower. Inside of the bonnet is finished with hand-woven brown maroon wool material.
