Tofino Surfer

Tofino Surfer Knitting Pattern

Discover the ultimate knitting project with the Tofino Surfer toque, inspired by Tofino, BC—a renowned surf destination nestled on the western shore of Vancouver Island. This stylish and versatile knitting pattern allows you to create your own cozy toque, which can be customized to your liking, whether you prefer a classic beanie, a trendy slouchy hat, or even a playful design with earflaps, tassels, and a pompom.

Yarn Requirements:

For Bulky Weight Yarn: You will need approximately 100 (120, 160, 180, 200) yards for a simple beanie or 120 (150, 180, 220, 240) yards for the slouchy version. If you are using DK weight yarn, simply hold it double and double the yardage mentioned. Additionally, to incorporate fun elements like earflaps, tassels, and a pompom, you will need an extra 50 yards. For these embellishments, we recommend using Berocco Vintage DK in the vibrant colors ‘21106-Bubble’ and ‘21107-Pool Party’ for a playful twist.

Gauge: For this project, aim for a gauge of 16 stitches per 4 inches in stockinette stitch, ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit.

The yarn quantities provided below are specifically tailored for the slouchy version of the toque, complete with earflaps, tassels, and a stylish pompom. Perfect for both seasoned knitters and enthusiastic beginners, the Tofino Surfer toque is not only functional but also a fashionable accessory that showcases your knitting skills while paying homage to the vibrant surfing culture of Tofino.
