With just the faintest hint of a colorwork motif, this delightful hat offers a chance to combine 3 complimentary colors in a straight forward pattern.

The Modern Toque is a fitted hat which has a folded ribbed band and a little bit of colorwork to blend the colors. It has a unique decreasing technique that gathers, and it finishes with a large pom-pom.
