This toque was inspired by a flip through a tree guide. It was
beautifully illustrated , and I dearly wanted to knit a pinecone when
I noticed that their scales spiral around. I love knitting spiralling
patterns, and the idea of a toque that looked like a pinecone stuck
in my head – it makes me smile every time I see it.
You will need three balls of palette, one each of Bark, Camel Heather, and Mongoose
