watch caps

Knit skull covers

A watch cap is a close-fitting knitted cap, typically wool, that covers the ears and sits snugly on the head.

Originally worn by sailors standing watch in cold weather, the term now applies broadly to any similar beanie-style cap: He pulled his watch cap down over his ears against the wind.
