That's not my hat, that's not my hat.

Canada: tuque/toque/touque

Hat. Northeastern Indiana.

I thought they were called tuques. :confused:

At least that's what we've always called them, and I live in Ohio, Hsu. Maybe it's regional, though.

I'd call it a hat, and if you asked what type I'd say ski hat. It's not a beanie because it's too big to be a beanie.

Newcastle -

I'd agree with Psychotic its just a hat

If you held me at gun point for a specific answer, I would say beanie, but there would be little confidence behind that answer

Well, yeah, it's a hat. It sits on your head.

But the hat in question is most definitely a beanie. And I love beanies!

Maybe I'm too metrosexual, I call them by fashion slang, not by casual slang.

Big wooly hat.

Beanie. Horrible one, too.

NOT ALLOWED is what it's called around here :D!

...seriously, it's not just school, they don't let you wear them at the Go-Kart place, either :(

Beanie. Or I've come to know them by "Skull caps" which seems to be a more official product term.

The ones where you have to fold them up once we call sock hats.
The ones you just pull ove your head without a fold is a beanie to me and my friend.
