Hello everyone! Now that spring is near, it’s time to start working with lighter weight yarns and choose from the multitude of colors that fit the season. I’m working on many projects these days, most of which are finished and scheduled to be posted soon. This toque design is the first of a two-piece set that includes it and a nice scarf. The pattern is a very simple; an “eight stitches by eight rounds” lace square pattern, that could be worked into many different designs, and I will be showing you one way of incorporating it in this post. This toque comes in two sizes, Size S for toddlers and Size M/L for adults. It can fit most heads owing to the ribs that add stretchiness to it. I hope you all enjoy making it, and I wish you the warmest of days.
