bobble hat

Knitted winter headwear

A bobble hat is a knitted cap topped with a small, fluffy ball of yarn—the bobble, also called a pom-pom.

The term is primarily British; Americans more often say beanie or pom-pom hat.

Bobble hats are associated with cold weather and casual outdoor activities like skiing, though they've become fashionable accessories beyond their practical origins.
