Recently I worked on a Viking cap or a 4 panel Birka cap for a friend. I wish I would have taken more pictures but I have a few below. The cap itself is made of black wool with a linen lining. The decorative stitching on the cap is a wool and cotton/linen blend.
I used a double herringbone stitch with red and gold yarn/floss and a white wool yarn as an added stitch overlapping the herringbone stitch. I have never done this complete combination of stitches before and I was pleased with the outcome. My friend seemed happy as well.
