Someone on the HistoricKnitting list posted this today, surmising that the woman's cap is knitted. The pleats could have been achieved in fabric, of course, but the edge does look like a cast-on. The top, too, looks like a straight tube that has been folded and sewn (or knitted) together.
I wonder if there is a back view of a similar cap in something by Bruegel or Hieronymous Bosch ...?
