This pattern is free until November 2020!!

The pattern does not specify, but is written for 16” circular needles or double pointed needles. Switch to dpns as the crown decreases make the circumference too small.

This is a straightforward toque pattern designed to knit up in a jiffy. On the west coast, it’s always nice to have an extra toque on hand to throw on for a brisk beach walk or to warm up quickly after a surf.
One skein of chunky weight yarn should be just about right for an adult-sized toque, but if you like a loose or slouchy fit I’d have some extra on hand. I tend to knit at a loose gauge so the needles I choose are usually different from what’s written in a pattern - pay attention to your gauge and use the appropriate needle for your style.
I like to use poms that have an elastic loop so that they’re easy to detach in case I need to go pomless - when it’s rainy I like my rain hood over my toque!
Happy knitting!
