Anyone know where I can get instructions for knitting a "rouge bonnet"

Liberty Cap like the one people wore during the French Revolution?

I found a cap on Ebay but it's made of fleece and I want one made of red wool.



Actually, I'm a real novice at knitting but caps look pretty easy.

1. Here are a few

Knit it in red, shorten it a bit and turn up the cuff:

Lengthen the body some:

Best one. Leave off the tassel:

3. Thank you.

Did you know the liberty cap is a symbol in the US Senate Flag?

2. I'm making a cap in HOT PINK

after Code Pink. Maybe not like a rouge bonnet, but still pink. I have a pattern from a knitting book & am making my first according to its pattern, but the next one I make will be solid pink.
