Definition of Watch cap

A tuque (Canadian English: , also spelled toque but still pronounced tuque), knit cap (American English), or beanie (UK English and AE), also variously known as a knit hat, toboggan, burglar beanie or stocking cap among other names – is a knitted cap, originally of wool though now often of synthetic fibers, that is designed to provide warmth in winter. Most tuques are tapered; they sometimes have ear flaps, and may be topped with a pom-pom (this style of tuque is sometimes referred to as a bobble hat, boggan or sherpa). Tuques may have a folded brim, or none, and may be worn tightly fitting the head or loose on top although the latter is considered more standard.
