    DWFII;

    I prefer the St. Andrews cross version that Woodsheal has displayed. I made one for myself a few years ago using the instructions from this website. Scroll down to right below PCES modeling it himself!

    You can either pin it on the bonnet or sew it.

    Can you access and repost (or PM) those graphics? The illustrations are not showing up on my computer. I get the Bonnie Prince and the painting of Culloden but not the cockades.

    Booger! Sorry about that, DWFII. I think the images are lost, now.

    'Ang on a tick, i found those last night... I suspected that the files were renamed, but the links were not updated to match. Or there was a thumbnail there (note the -sm in the file names), but is no longer present.

    DW, if your good lady crochets, it's rumored to be easy to make a rosette in a sort of spiral shape, to arbitrary size.. One of these days, I'm going to learn how.

    In a pinch, I've made a rosette from bits of an old T-shirt and sock, by taking needle and thread to gather it in the middle. I was in a hurry.

    Fluter,

    Thanks! That looks easy enough.

    What I find humorous is when I see at local games members of clans that supported the Hanoverians sporting a white cockade
