Weird Canadian Question

What do Americans call a 'tuque'? I'm pretty sure it's a uniquely Canadian word and as I was fic writing today, I suddenly realized I didn't know what an American would call it. Knit cap? Winter hat?

This would be an excellent time for me to use a due South icon. However, I don't have one. I shall have to rectify this...

See, to me, a "beanie" is that little skull-cap thing, solid fabric rather than knitted, which some little kids wore in comic books 50+ years ago. See also "propeller beanie," if there was a propeller on top.

Angie in California, who couldn't resist a "Beanie" icon ;)

That's what I would consider a beanie too, almost like a skullcup. But it is never the wrong time for a Bean icon. :-)
