Beanie (seamed cap)

This article is about the head-hugging cap, knitted or made of seamed triangular sections. For other headwear sometimes referred to as a "beanie", see Knit cap. For other uses, see Beanie (disambiguation).

In New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere, a beanie is a head-hugging brimless cap, sometimes made from triangular panels of material joined by a button at the crown and seamed together around the sides. Beanies may be made of cloth, felt, wool, leather, or silk. In many US regions and parts of Canada the term "beanie" refers to a knitted cap (often woolen), alternately called a "stocking cap" or (especially in Canada) a "toque".
