Notes

Since my gauge was 7 rows = 1” instead of 8, I worked 16 pattern repeats instead of 18 for a total of 131 rows instead of 147.

16 repeats + 3 rows = 131 rows = 18.5” long

I picked up 88 sts for the crown (11 sections of 8 sts) instead of 96 sts (12 sections of 8 sts).

The length of this toque is perfect. The cable is 5” wide and the crown is about 2.5” long.

I think the circumference is a little snug (my head is 22”). If I were to make this again I would knit the cable 19” long instead of 18.5”.

Measurements:

  • Circumference: 18.5”
  • Length: 7.5”
  • Brim Width: 5”
  • Crown Depth: 2.5”

Cable: 60g
Crown: 11g

Total Cost: $3.17
