This is a great toque for spring and fall weather. The flower like stitch gives this pattern a unique quality. I made this design so you can wear the toque as a slouchy hat or you can fold up the rim so it fits normally. The toque knits up quickly and is also knit in the round so it’s a great fast project and makes a great gift.

The yarn for this toque was locally sourced from Ballitotas Alpacas in Braeside Ontario. I encourage everyone to go and check out your local small farms. They make amazing yarn from wonderful animals. Happy knitting!
