This written pattern is an easy to follow, beginner-friendly option for anyone looking to knit themselves a unique and fashionable toque for the cooler months ahead! The knitting bobbles add texture to an otherwise sleek toque and can be knit in different colours to provide even more contrast and pop!

This pattern is provided in four different sizes (adult, youth, toddler, and newborn), but you can easily customize the pattern to make it the perfect fit for the recipient by either increasing or decreasing the number of stitches you cast on (must be multiples of 8) and how many rounds you complete for length.

You will need the following items to complete this project:
16-inch 5mm knitting needles
Yarn needle
Scissors
Faux fur pom, or tools to make a yarn pom
Stitch marker
Worsted weight (4) yarn

Yardage requirements for the pattern range from approximately 60 yards for the newborn size to 150 yards for the adult size. You can knit this hat in one solid colour, or opt to use contrasting colour(s) for the bobble stitches.

Don’t forget to tag me on social media in pictures of your finished toques! I can’t wait to see all of the beautiful creations you make!

I ask that you please respect the fact that I created this pattern myself. Please do not redistribute this pattern for your own monetary gain. Feel free to create items with this pattern and sell them to the public, but please remember to credit my pattern in your item descriptions.
