About MeA pattern for a six-piece beret. The folds in the paper, fading handwriting, and numerous needle marks demonstrate its long life in hat-making. It belonged to a milliner who lived and worked in Aberdeen, Isabella Park. She was apprenticed to a hat-maker's shop on Union Street when she was young, and continued making hats for the rest of her life.
