This toque or hat is the perfect pattern for market or online sellers as it’s enticing to buyers: it has a super squishy texture, a beautiful cable-like design, both the hat and the brim have the right side facing out, and it has 4 sizes from baby to adult. Think of matching mama and baby or winter family photo shoots.
From a practical viewpoint, it is quick to make (a big 7mm hook), uses two strands of worsted weight yarn held together (relatively inexpensive yarn) and it’s repetitive enough that you can crochet it while watching a movie, or waiting for an appointment.

Sizes included:
Baby: 12”-14” around
Toddler: 14”-16” around
Youth: 16”-19” around
Adult: 19”-22” around
