beanie

Snug head covering

A beanie is a close-fitting knitted cap, typically worn in cold weather.

The style pulls snug against the head without a brim: She tucked her hair into a beanie.

In earlier American usage, beanie referred to a small, brimless cap worn by schoolchildren or college freshmen, often as part of hazing rituals.
