I don’t think any other article of clothing causes so much confusion or has so many names. I’d guess the official name is “tuque“, but we always called it a “beanie”, “skullcap”, or “tossle cap”.
What do you call this kind of hat?
Wikipedia lists all these alternatives under the tuque entry…
- knit hat
- knit cap
- sock cap
- stocking cap
- watch cap
- skull cap
- skully
- snow hat
- snow cap
- ski cap
- tossle cap
- woolly hat
- chook
- beanie
- toboggan
I had a friend on Facebook recently call it a “snooki”. How many nicknames is Wikipedia missing? I was always annoyed by calling it a “toboggan”… isn’t that a sled?
At any rate, what do you call it?
