In [[Southern American English]] and [[Appalachian English]], '''toboggan''' refers to a type of hat. This is sometimes shortened to boggan or lengthened to boggan cap. This type of hat is also referred to by other names: knit hat or knit cap, sock cap or stocking cap, watch cap, [[tuque]], skull cap or sometimes as a ski cap. A [[beanie]] is a similar type of hat, and although toboggan and ''beanie typically'' refer to synonymous items in most regions, a beanie is normally more rigid, not knitted, and usually made up of structured panels of felt, twill, or other tightly woven cloth.
