knit cap

Snug winter hat

A knit cap is a close-fitting hat made from knitted fabric, typically wool or synthetic yarn, worn for warmth in cold weather.

The basic design is a simple tube gathered at the top, though variations include folded cuffs, pom-poms, or earflaps.

Also called a beanie, watch cap, or stocking cap depending on region and style.
