PATTERN DETAILS: This crochet toque hat has a nice wide band to keep your ears toasty warm on those blustery winter days. If you wish, you can crochet just the band and use it as an earwarmer, or continue with the hat’s lacey crown to create a sophisticated winter accessory. Three buttons adorn the band’s flap to complete the look.

SIZE: One size fits most women and teens. The band has a good amount of stretch.

SKILL LEVEL: With its simple shaping and basic stitches, I would rate this pattern as EASY. The band of the hat is worked in rows; the crown is worked in rounds.

MATERIALS: The featured yarn is Knit Picks® Swish DK yarn, a luxurious 100% superwash merino yarn with a crochet gauge of approximately 12-17 sc = 4 inches (10 cm) on size 7-I (4.5 mm – 5.5 mm) hooks, and is sold in 50 gram balls of 123 yards (112.5 m). You will need two balls.
