When the Swallows first see the Amazons in the distance they are wearing “red knitted caps” and later before the parley “red-capped” (SA8,10). Does knitted imply wool? The picture of Nancy with the pestle (PP22; modelled by Janet Gnosspelius) could be a beret though, as could the igloo picture when they are all wearing hats (WH4). In SD there is “loading Captain Flint” and “the return of the AB on the log” (SD13,33). PP pictures show “Nancy climbing the trellis” and “moving house” which look more like a knitted cap tapering to an end though (PM3,5). Also the launching of Scarab on the spine of the dust jacket of PM.
