Old knit bonnets were knit from the headband up to the top. The loose threads were then tied off in a pom-pom to finish everything off.
I would tend to believe this was much the same.

I've also heard that they were used as a way to identify officers, in battle... that said, the knitting theory, above, is the one that has always sounded most likely to me.
