Also available as part of an eBook, Whitework: Accessories inspired by medieval illumination
The motif in this fun and quick-to-knit hat was inspired by the repeating geometric motif around an illuminated “I” in the Scriptores historiae Augustae. This manuscript is from 1475 in Milan, and was printed by Phillipus de Lavagna.
