Toboggan Day
It’s officially tobogganing season here in beautiful Northern Alberta, and this comfortable knit toque will keep you warm while you enjoy the snowy slopes! This stylish hat features a unique combination of simple textured color work, where you’ll create lovely purl stitches using the contrast color. Alternatively, for a completely different aesthetic, you can knit those same stitches, allowing you to make two stunning variations out of this easy-to-follow pattern!
To knit this delightful toque, you will need the following materials:
- Main Color: 1 strand of DK yarn held together with 1 strand of lace weight mohair for that perfect blend of warmth and softness.
- Contrast Color: Just 1 strand of DK yarn (no mohair needed) to add a pop of color to your design.
For this project, you’ll require size 3.75mm and 4.5mm needles to knit in the round. The versatility of this toque shines through in its extra-long ribbed brim! You can fold it up on extra chilly days for added ear warmth or wear it slouchy for a trendy look. Check out the accompanying photos to see how fabulous it looks styled both ways!
Whether you’re hitting the slopes for some outdoor fun or just need a cozy accessory for everyday wear, this tobogganing toque is a must-have addition to your winter wardrobe. Enjoy knitting this charming piece, and make sure to share your finished hats with us!
Happy knitting, and embrace the joy of this warm and cozy toque as you enjoy the great outdoors this winter season!
