Shepherd Toque

The Shepherd Toque is a must-have accessory for knitters seeking a lightweight Stockinette stitch hat with an elegant double brim. This versatile toque is meticulously designed to be both lightweight and quick-drying, making it the perfect companion for various outdoor activities — whether you're leisurely strolling through downtown city streets or embarking on a hiking adventure in the backcountry. With its packable design, this hat can easily be stuffed into a jacket pocket when not in use, ensuring you're always prepared for changing weather conditions.

Knit from the bottom up, starting with a cozy brim and culminating at the crown, this pattern features a narrow band of 1 x 1 ribbing that creates a snug elasticity on the inside of the toque.

Ideal for knitters of all skill levels, the pattern is thoughtfully written for three different head sizes, accommodating a variety of wearers.

For added versatility, the Shepherd Toque pattern offers three distinct versions: Ultralight, Mid-Weight, and Fingering. This means you can choose the version that best suits your knitting preferences and intended use. The sample shown is the Ultralight version in size M, showcasing the beautiful texture and quality of the finished product.
