The Seaside Toque is inspired by the cold, windy days on the East Coast of Canada. This warm and cozy hat is knit using one strand of worsted weight yarn held with Suri Alpaca, making it incredibly soft and toasty. You won’t feel the chill with this hat!

The fold-over brim gives extra warmth, perfect for those cold days. The Seaside Toque is knit from the bottom up and comes in three adult sizes. It’s finished with simple decreases on the sides and a kitchener stitch at the top for a smooth, clean look.

Whether you’re by the ocean or braving winter weather, the Seaside Toque will keep you warm and cozy.
