I am busy at the moment, but - somewhere - I have some fairly fine grey yarn which I know will felt, and I can experiment with making a similar cap. I think it will have a finished diameter of about 12 inches.
Usually I crochet them in a fairly thick yarn so they will cock up in the usual style, which is not the right sort of construction for that cap. It needs to be soft enough to flop, so the felting will be a process of trial and error too.
I just can't resist a challenge.
