Beanie (North America)

Beanie (North America)

A beanie or skully is a head-hugging brimless cap with or without a visor.

In the United States, beanies are made by triangular sections of cloth joined by a button at the crown and seamed together around the sides. They can also be made from leather and silk. In other English-speaking countries, a beanie is a knitted cap often woollen, known in the United States as a stocking cap and in Canada as a tuque.
