What is a "tuque"?

A tuque, also known as a beanie or knit cap, is a type of hat that is typically made of wool or acrylic yarn and covers the head and ears. It has a simple design with a tapered shape that fits snugly to the head and a folded brim that can be adjusted to cover the ears or left unfolded for a slouchy look. Tuques are often worn in cold weather to provide warmth and are popular among skiers, snowboarders, and other winter sports enthusiasts. They come in a variety of colors, patterns, and styles, and are a versatile accessory that can be worn with casual or dressy outfits.
