I love a classic striped toque because you can customize it in so many different ways without much effort. Plus, toques are so great to give as gifts - be it to a man, women or child. And to make that super easy for you, the Quick Twist Toque pattern comes in three different sizes: Baby, Kid and Adult!

Let me explain a little bit behind the design - because its a pretty basic one. I have issues with striped knitting in the round - I dislike that “stair-step” thing that happens when starting a new row. So to remedy this, the Quick Twist Toque uses the Helix Knitting Method (or Jogless One-Round Stripes) which gives a seamless “spiral” to your stripes. Plus it’s a fun and easy technique to master if you haven’t tried it before.

And can you say quick! To show you how quick these are to knit, I made all three sizes in less than 2 days!

This pattern is also great for:
✅ those new to knitting in the round
✅ using up leftover scrap yarn (stash busting)
✅ beginner knitters who want to customize a project
