Weird Canadian Question

[awanderingbard]

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...

Knit cap, knit hat. I wouldn't think of "ski cap" but then I've never skied, nor lived anyplace where it snowed in the winter. Context also matters -- I made a couple of those when I was a kid learning to knit, and if you tell someone, "I knitted a hat!" you don't have to add any adjectives. :)
