Figure 1.--Here we see a boy feeding a deer. Note the matching stocking cap and sweater. The standard stocking cap had a large pom. The photograph was taken in the 1930s, but we are not sure just where. |

Stocking caps did not just vary with color. They were done in different shapes. The basic stocking cap was fairly standard, like the naval warch cap. Some were elongated, rather like an elf cap. Wev note others that had a pom of varyin size at the top. There were large poms as wll as more modest-sized poms. We note poms on both standard stocking caps as well as the elongated elf-type caps. Other stocking caps came with tassels. The stocking caps wi\th poms were generally worn by younger children.
