Questions & Answers about Son bonnet de laine est bleu.

Since son means "his" here, how would you say "her woolly hat"?
It would also be son bonnet de laine! In French, possessive adjectives agree with the gender of the object being owned, not the person who owns it. Since bonnet is masculine, you must use son whether the hat belongs to a man or a woman.
Why does the sentence use de laine instead of a French adjective for "woolly"?
To describe what an object is made of, French almost always uses de (or en) followed by the noun for the material. It literally translates to "hat of wool". French doesn't typically have dedicated adjectives for materials like English words such as "wooden" or "woolly".
Why isn't there an article before laine, like de la laine?
When de connects a noun to the material it is made of, you drop the article completely. Saying de la laine would sound like you are talking about "some of the wool" rather than simply describing what the hat is made out of.
What is the difference between a bonnet and a chapeau?
Chapeau is the general word for a hat, usually one with a brim. A bonnet is specifically a soft, close-fitting, brimless hat worn for warmth, like a beanie or a winter cap.
