The designer often works with museums, figuring out how garments in their collections were constructed (in the past I've sometimes linked to particularly interesting entries in her blog). These patterns are some of the yarn-related results of that work:

Broad-brimmed Monmouth Cap
Voyageur Cap
Thrum Cap
Tudor Cap
Balmoral Bonnet
