It's known as a knitted cap or hat, beanie, stocking cap, tuque, or toque, or referred to by its materials or decorations – a woollen hat or bobble hat. It can be knitted, crocheted, or sewn. There is one to suit all weather and every style.

In Finland, we talk about the pipo, and people with especially sensitive ears often wear these for a good half of the year, from late autumn to the spring, even in the southern parts of the country. Who cares about one's hairdo, as long as the head stays warm and comfortable? Finnish schools have ended up keeping an eye on the trends and tend to alternate between requiring a hat to be worn outside and having a rule of 'no hat inside'. Indeed, wearing a pipo is as much a statement as not wearing one.

Do you have yours yet?
