I’ve always thought of a beanie as somewhat different and distinct from a watch-cap. Though still a knitted hat, like a watch cap, I’ve always understood a beanie to be more large and baggie. I guess I always thought it was called a beanie because of the way it resembled a bean-bag chair. I see this as being separate and unique from the more form-fitting watch cap that sits quite close to the hair/scalp.
