Boys Knitted Wear: Stocking Caps


Figure 1.--The popms on stocking caps varied in size and color. This one matched the boys snowsuit. It was a German Nordic pattern snowsuit offered by Burda, approximately 1965.

These stocking caps were similar to watch caps. Some were basic stocking caps with poms. The caps for boys and girls could be mase with elogated crowns and poms. The pops on these caps could vary. They could match the cap or more often contarst with it. Often bright colors like red were used. The pops also varied in size. Some poms were attached to the cap by a short string. Some of these stocking caps had ear flaps, but these were nore popular for boys than girls. Bright designs and colors were also popular. Some of the caps were made singely. Others were made to match or coordinate with sweaters and or snow suits. Many snow suit patterns came with patterns for matching caps. Both boys and girls might wear caps with loud patterns and bright colors.
