Pattern Description from Vogue Knitting, Fall 2007: “Hats off and gloves on to Deborah Newton’s ski-sweet accessories, which graced out cover twenty-one years ago. they’re remade in the luxest fiber blends from Knit One, Crochet Too. The gloves, in baby alpaca/silk/cashmere ‘Ambrosia,’ center and elaborate cable that travels from cuffs to fingertips. Wrist pompoms dangle from a mock drawstring. The toque, in merino/camel ‘Camelino,’ is knit in panels - three vertical, one horizontal - to which the floppy top attaches after it’s worked in the round. An attached I-cord bottom band and pompom-tipped twisted-cord strings are the final touches. You can wear the hat gathered at the sides.”
