Help me, Estonian comrades

[W. R.]

A week ago I visited Tallinn and bought there... a cap as a souvenir. It reminds a nightcap a bit, but is designed to wear in winter and is unusually long because its end is supposed to be used as a scarf. I saw such caps in many shops.

Does this article of clothing have any name? The name could help me to search for pictures of it on the Internet.

Was it, like, this sort of thing?

If you post a picture of it, it would be helpful - I am sure the Estonians would recognize it in an instance!

I bought one like the one I posted above as well, but in Latvia. Wasn't Tallinn beautiful as a dream, by the way? :)

I bought one like the one I posted above as well, but in Latvia.I can't take pictures of it. You see, I bought the cap as a gift for a friend of mine and "got rid" of it on Friday. :rolleyes2:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/3695583582_ed69fe49e8.jpgWell, no. But I think Estonian members know his name. They are supposed to know the names of all three black people living in Estonia (check point 76 (http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=13485602046&topic=4321)). :rolleyes:

Whiteruthenian, you probably mean something like this, don't you?

http://mediaserver-2.vuodatus.net/g/5665/1235150938_img_2058.jpgYes, ma'am, thank you. It is very close to what I mean. But in this case the cap is long for 'aesthetical’ reasons. As for the cap I’m talking about it is long for ‘practical’ reasons: its end can and is designed to be used as a scarf.

I think you can find similar knits everywhere. If not, just try to knit it yourself or ask someone;)
