Beanie, Toboggan, Tuque, Toque and Touque - Are they the same wool hat?

The classic woolly hat goes by an assortment of local names. It turns out that in New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Australia, the term "beanie" is normally applied to a wool knit hat and it’s interchangeable with a Tuque, Touque and Toque in Canada and parts of the US. Touque, Toque and Tuque is in fact the same wool hat as a Beanie with three distinct spellings. And last but not least in the southern states of America, Toboggan is the name for a wool knitted hat that is worn during the colder months.
