Kaul Toque

Introducing the fabulous Kaul Toque—a stylish knitting pattern designed for knitters looking to create a stunning hat that stands out! This unique hat is worked from the top down in two beautiful colors, one at a time, featuring strikingly placed slipped stitches that enhance its visual appeal. The brim showcases a clever twist, with the colors reversed and a beautifully knitted lining that can be turned up, allowing you to customize the look for more or less swagger.

The Kaul Toque features a wider shape at the top, reminiscent of the iconic Nefertiti style, making it a trendy choice for those who want to make a bold fashion statement. This exquisite hat is a sibling of the well-loved Kaul Cowl, and it pairs perfectly with the Simple ZiggurHat and Callisto Hat to create a fashionable hat trio that is sure to elevate your winter wardrobe.

This pattern also comes with useful photo tutorials linked directly in the instructions, making your crafting experience even smoother. You will find guides on the Winding Provisional Cast On technique (including special instructions at the bottom for looping around to create a closed top), crafting a no-sew knitting lining for hems and brims, and learning how to make 1 Left/Right purl stitches (both knitted and purl variations).

For this project, we recommend using Wollmeise Merino DK yarn for its luxurious feel and vibrant colors, but an excellent substitute is listed below, allowing you the flexibility to choose based on your preference. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, the Kaul Toque pattern provides both a creative challenge and a fabulous finished product that you’ll love to wear or gift. Get ready to impress with your knitting skills and stylish accessories!
