Knitted Fraciscan pileolus in light brown color
This headgear is very similar to the crocheted takya (takke) worn
by muslim men.
Franciscan Pileolus made of 6 segments of fabric
An explanation in Polish language here.
Franciscan pileolus made of 8 segements of fabric
Atfter my research, the difference between the 8 and the 6 segment pileolus is
that the first is worn in Germany, Poland, France and Spain and the second in Italy.
that the first is worn in Germany, Poland, France and Spain and the second in Italy.
The brown color stands for the attachment to the ground of the order of Franciscans.

Hi, do you have a pattern for the knitted pileolus shown above? A friend of mine will be making his monastic profession soon and that would make a great personal gift. Thanks!
