Sometimes, the most elaborate and the most simple pair together and fit perfectly. In this case, rustic tweedy yarns in the colors of denim, and a detailed pattern inspired by traditional brocade fabrics.

Despite the intricate pattern, this toque is not super difficult to make. If you can work in the round, change colors, work stranded colorwork, increase and decrease, and read charts, you can make it!

The pattern is charted.

You will need less than one ball of each color you choose (if you are using a yarn with less than 231 yds per ball, you will need around 200 yards of each color)
