Classic Forest Toque

This knitting pattern features comprehensive written and chart instructions for **ONE SIZE**, yet it allows for easy adjustments by increasing or decreasing in multiples of 10 stitches, making it versatile for various head sizes. Note - Specific adjustment sizes are NOT included in the pattern PDF itself, so be sure to keep this in mind when planning your project.

Sizing Details: When laid flat, the brim measures 9.5 inches wide and 9.5 inches tall (with the brim unfolded). The circumference at the bottom of the cap band is 20 inches, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit for most. This design is perfect for both adults and older children, making it a flexible addition to your knitting repertoire.

The gauge for this pattern is 24 stitches and 28 rows per 4 inches when knit in ribbing stitch, ensuring that your finished product will be cozy and well-constructed. Getting the right gauge is essential for achieving the perfect fit, so be sure to check your swatch before beginning.

Materials:

Yarn - For this toque, I utilized approximately half of a skein of Briggs & Little - Heritage 2 Ply yarn. The blend is not only warm but also durable, ensuring your creation stands the test of time through many wears. You may choose different yarns, but be mindful of the gauge to achieve the desired fit.

Knitting Needles - You'll need 24-inch 3.5mm (US 4) circular needles. This pattern was crafted using LYKKE Brand 24-inch long circular needles in conjunction with the "Magic Loop" knitting method, which is excellent for working in the round. However, feel free to use any needle size from 16 to 24 inches, depending on your preference and comfort level. The choice of tools can greatly affect your knitting experience, so pick what feels best in your hands!

This pattern is ideal for both beginner and intermediate knitters looking to create stylish and functional accessories. Dive into this cosy project and enjoy the satisfaction of knitting your very own toque!
