This slightly slouchy toque is a fun project to subtly show off your love of the Great White North and the beloved Canadian flag. With a few subtle colour changes, it can be made into a Toronto Maple Leafs toque, but … why? Go Habs, go!!!

“Elbows up“ is a rallying call to arms (or, rather, elbows) in hockey, made famous by one of Canada’s favourite Gords, Mr. Elbows himself, Gordie Howe. It’s a call to protect yourself and fight back.
