The Ruche Panel Tuque kit is debuting along with the alpaca yarn company called Our Back 40 at Vogue Knitting Live in New York City in January 2013.

The green colorway is called Timothy.

The RPT is a fast, simple and fun hat to knit. The ruched panel and feminine little frill at the brim make the knitting interesting but keeps things moving quickly. This is the perfect gift knit!

Our Back 40 is selling the cute hat as a kit that includes their luxury alpaca worsted weight yarn and the pattern. The yarn is really special and unique and the kit is a very worthwhile purchase!

Eventually this pattern will become available in my pattern shop but not for quite awhile yet. I will update this design page when the pattern becomes available.
