      Can someone show a picture of a tuque? Because I also don't actually know what a stocking cap is....but I'm imagining what people put on under wigs....which is probably incorrect.

        I could Google image it of course if I was that concerned.

              pom poms seem to be the current trend.. they are optional.

                A tuque is the correct way to say a toque. You people make me angry.

                 

                Do they pronounce it with an O sound?

                  Oh. Never had another term for that picture other than "winter hat."

                    You're missing a neck warmer. I ordered 1 last year in a Running Room catalogue but they ran out so I became more intrigued to possess one. I finally found 1 in VT 2 months ago.

                      Lily, TO, new forecast.  Wind is going down.  It's getting cold, though.  Yay.

                        well that's a little better. Cold is no problem.

                          Yeah... I call that a "hat."  Or maybe a "knit hat," if I want to get specific.

                            Yeah we always just called it a hat or winter hat.

                            Toque or tuque is a purely Canadian word for it. And elsewhere a toque is a chef's hat.

                              YES!!  That's why it sounded familiar!

                                Also called a "toboggan" in states far enough south to not know what that word actually refers to.

                                 

                                These kids are on a toboggan, not wearing toboggans.
