Construction
Most knitted hats are tapered at the top. The crochet itself hugged the head, keeping the lid safe. They are sometimes given pom-poms or loose tassels. Knit hats may have folded edges, or none, and can be worn head or loose fitting on top. The South American tradition of the Andes Mountains is for hats to have earplugs, with straps to tie under the chin. A special type of hat called a balaclava folds overhead with openings only for the face or for the eyes or the mouth only.
Some modern variants are built as parallel side tubes, with a pull-rope closure at one end. This version can be worn as a warmer neck with loose and open draw-strings, or as a cap with draw-strings that are tightly pulled and closed.

History
Balaclava
Knit pull-down hats are known in the British Royal army as Uhlan hats or Templar hats. During the Crimean War, handmade hats were brought to British troops to help protect them from cold weather before or after Balaclava battle. The hat became popularly known as Balaclava helmets or just balaclava among the soldiers.
In Scandinavia, a hat that resembles a typical knit hat with pom-poms has been used since the Viking period and possibly before.
