Trochu

Introducing the Trochu Cabled Toque, a beautifully designed knit accessory inspired by the charming small town of Trochu in Central Alberta, Canada. This toque is thoughtfully crafted from the bottom up, making it a perfect addition to your winter wardrobe. Knit in a light worsted weight yarn and using a smaller needle gauge, the Trochu toque results in a dense, warm fabric that provides excellent protection against the frigid winds sweeping down from the Rocky Mountains and the cold gusts that whip across the Canadian prairies during winter months.

The Trochu toque offers versatility in style; you can wear it as a slouchy beanie for a casual look or roll the brim for a more traditional toque appearance. This adaptability ensures you can complement any winter outfit while keeping warm and stylish.

When knitting the Trochu toque, aim for approximately 2-4” of negative ease for the best fit. The sample shown in the photographs was knit in a medium size and is modeled on a 21” head, demonstrating the toque's great fit and appearance.

This knitting pattern is beginner-friendly and includes both charted and written instructions, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting, the Trochu toque is a rewarding project that enhances your knitting repertoire.
