To create this beautiful toque, you will need just 1 skein of Miss Babs Kunlun DK yarn, a luxurious blend consisting of 70% Merino wool, 15% Cashmere, and 15% Cultivated Silk. This specific yarn, showcased in the captivating colorway Thunderstorm, not only offers exceptional warmth but also ensures a soft and comfortable fit against your skin.

NEEDLES

For knitting the Thunderstorm Toque, we recommend using a 4.5mm/US7 needle—either circular or double-pointed (dpn)—to work the main body of the hat. Additionally, a 3.5mm/US4 needle—circular or dpn—will be required for ribbing and finishing touches. Be sure to adjust your needle size if necessary to achieve the proper gauge for your project.

GAUGE

Make sure to check your gauge to ensure the perfect fit! Aim for 20 stitches and 28 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in Stockinette stitch for the ideal texture and fit.

This versatile toque is designed in two sizes to accommodate a range of head sizes: The Small size fits heads measuring 21-22 inches, while the Large size is suitable for heads measuring 23-24 inches.
