WHAT DOES WATCH CAP MEAN IN ENGLISH?

watch cap

Knit cap

A knit cap, originally of wool, though now often of synthetic fibers, is designed to provide warmth in cold weather. Many variants exist, with many names, such as boggan and stocking cap or watch cap. In much of the English-speaking world, the term beanie has come to mean a knit cap as well, but North American usage often describes a completely different seamed cap that is not knitted at all. In Canada, the knit cap is also known as a tuque, a word closely related to the French word toque, originally referring to a traditional headwear and now used for type of chef's hat. There are many other names for a knit cap. Most knit caps are tapered at the top; they sometimes have ear flaps, and may be topped with a pom-pom. Knit caps may have a folded brim, or none, and may be worn tightly fitting the head or loose on top. Some variants are constructed as a parallel sided tube, with a draw-string closure at one end. This version can be worn as a neck-warmer with the draw-string loose and open, or as a hat with the draw-string pulled tight and closed.
