Figure 1.--Here we see three unidentified Sutch children. The boy at the right wears a stocking cap with a large pom. It looks like a colorful cap, but we do not know what colors. The children seem to be in the port of Rotterdam. Their little sister is wearing a tam. The snapshot is undated, but looks like the late-1930s.

We note Dutch children, both boys and girls, wearing stocking caps during the winter. Many were brightly colored. They varied greatly in length. Some were basic watch caps. Others were long, rather like elf caps. We note some children with poms on their stocking caps. These were not destinctly Dutch caps. We see these caps in many northern Europeam countries. They seem especially associated with skating.
