ERRATA 29.11.2020: Size 3 & 4 Decrease, Dec Round 5: P2tog, p1, k8 to end. 100 (110) sts total (Update coming soon.)

Canada’s hardest worker, the lumberjack, inspired this cable toque. Babies also have lots of hard work to do and this hat is a must to keep them cozy and warm. Knit it with 100% merino for an incredible soft finish.

The Tiny Lumberjack Hat pattern was one of my first self-published designs back in January of 2015. Still being one of my most loved and popular patterns, I thought it would be fitting to finally publish the adult version on the fifth anniversary to accompany it. I have knit countless Tiny Lumberjack hats myself as gifts and will continue to do so into the future. After five years, the release of this adult version, the Not So Tiny Lumberjack Hat, is available to outfit the entire family.

The adult version, Not So Tiny Lumberjack Hat, can be found here.
