Avoid that one of you want something "period correct" to the Jacobite era. Sewn bonnets did exist during that period, but consisted of a large circle of fabric gathered into the head band. Knitted bonnets were by far the most cmmon. The seam running around the outside edge is a feature of WWI and WWII tam o' shanters.
Mr Ross knits a fine bonnet, as does "unaspencer" - another member on board here:
