I created this toque to complement my Tartanbone scarf pattern. It has a wide fold up brim with the option of a surprise pop colour on the inside and an upper part in herringbone stitch - designed to keep out the winter chill.

Pattern is knitted bottom up, double stranded to start, changing to single strand for the inside of the brim, before switching to the herringbone yarn.

Yardage used:
Trusty DK in Tartan - 158 yards
Traveler DK in Strut Your Stuff - 72
Bello DK in Rachel - 24 yds

For instructions on knitting herringbone in the round, I relied on Purl Soho’s instructions:
