Greetings! I am very appreciative of the information on headkercheifs.
Some time ago I noticed a resemblance between a coif and contemporary Amish
and Mennonite head coverings. Having grown up in central Pennsylvania, I
saw this type of head covering worn regularly. I found a pattern company
for these coifs and I ordered one pattern, the heart-shaped covering. The
pattern calls for an unusual stiff fabric (kind of like organdy). The Amish
patterns can be seen here: http://friendspatterns.net/catalog.php?category=2
This is a particularly clear picture:

The caps most often seen on Amish women more closely resemble the caps seen
in Dutch 17th c. painting, but the heart shaped one is seen also.
