Lodge Toque

Don’t let cooler weather keep you indoors! Beat the chill with this easy, quick-to-knit hat. The wide rib forms a plush, springy fabric, and a simple double stranded technique creates the subtle marled brim. It’s slouchy, casual, and topped with a playful pompom – perfect for both him and her.
