This is my next foray into designing winter headwear and is the second beanie or toque pattern I’ve designed. I have plans to add additional motifs to my touques but I needed to design the basic hat before I went into further, more complicated designs.

But to the pattern itself…

The pattern uses worsted weight yarn and size 5 mm (size 8 US) single pointed knitting needles. It’s knit flat on straight knitting needles. You can either use self-striping yarn like I did with the blue one, variegated yarn like the pink/blue beanie or use different solid shades of yarn to make this toque. All yarn seems to work well with this design.

This tuque is in adult sizes only!

If you would like to read the ad supported version of the pattern for FREE on my website, you can click this link to read the entire pattern in full. It’s fairly simple, especially if you’re an experienced knitter. There are many rows repeated.
