skullcaps

Small religious hats

Skullcaps are close-fitting, brimless caps that cover the crown of the head.

The term encompasses various headwear: the Jewish kippah or yarmulke, the zucchetto worn by Catholic clergy, and simple knit caps that hug the skull.

Skullcap also refers to a genus of flowering plants (Scutellaria) whose flowers resemble tiny helmets.
