Coarse raw wool woven cap

A Chilote cap (Spanish: gorro chilote) is a knitted cap typical of Chiloé Archipelago. The caps are made of coarse raw wool and usually have a pom-pon (Chilote Spanish bellota, "acorn") at the top. The designs and colours of the cap may vary but are usually naturally coloured horizontal stripes over the natural garn.
