1879 Bonnet Crochet Crocheted Deerstalker Ladys Scotch

EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming image from The John Barrett Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online captures the essence of Victorian fashion and craftsmanship with its depiction of a crocheted Deerstalker and Scotch Bonnet hat. Dating back to 1879, this intricately detailed crochet design showcases the artistry and creativity of the time. The Deerstalker hat, with its distinctive tall crown and wide brim, was a popular choice among hunters and detectives in the late 19th century. The addition of a Scotch Bonnet, a smaller hat with a conical shape and a distinctive tartan band, adds an unexpected and playful touch to the design. The crocheted version of these hats is a testament to the versatility and popularity of crochet during the Victorian era. Women, in particular, embraced crochet as a pastime and a way to express their creativity and fashion sense. This crochet book page from 1879 offers instructions for making both the Deerstalker and Scotch Bonnet hats, allowing ladies to create their own unique accessories. The intricate stitching and attention to detail in this image are truly remarkable. The use of various colors and textures in the crochet work adds depth and dimension to the hats, making them stand out as works of art in their own right. The vintage feel of the image, with its muted colors and delicate patterns, transports us back to a time when craftsmanship and creativity were highly valued. This crocheted Deerstalker and Scotch Bonnet is not only a fascinating glimpse into Victorian fashion and craftsmanship but also a reminder of the enduring appeal of crochet as a creative outlet and a source of joy and inspiration for generations to come.
