It looks kind like a beret, just worn differently from the French way. I’ve seen them worn like that on the back of the head.

It is a form of beret. You can wear them at whatever rakish angle you want.

It looks like rasta style to me. It is called a tam. The link is to many images of tam hats.

On a lark I googled “knit beret” after checking out the tams and they are nigh indistinguishable at times. Go for either.

Ahhhh. @ daloon and empress, TY :D

Yes, it is a variation of the rasta hat called the tam. Worn in full rasta style, one stuffs one’s hair inside it (presumably in dreadlocks).

Here’s a link to some pictures of a “simon” tam. The photo is similar to your example. This is what she says about tams:

Simon is a hat. A tam, to be exact. Made for people (like me) with lots and lots of hair to shove under there. Or just for people who like big, floppy hats. It’s named after a character from the television show Firefly, because his last name was Tam and I couldn’t think of the word without thinking of him. And yes, I am planning a River Tam.

Oops. This is the proper link (I hope).

Thank you guys so much! Greatly appriciated :]

This? Definitely berets. Urban Outfitters and H&M are selling them by the gazillions these days.

There is a close relation called a “snood.”

There is hat in that photo??

Hahah, yes
