bearded toque

Bearded Toque

Size
Adult M to L

Materials
• Any worsted weight yarn. I recommend Caron Simply Soft, held double stranded
• US size 8 circular needle (12” or 16″), or size needed to obtain gauge
• Set of double pointed needles in the same size
• Place markers or scrap yarn
• Ruler or tape measure
• Crochet hook or tapestry needle
• A few sets of metal snaps
• Sewing needle and thread

Gauge
4.5 st/in in stockinette stitch. Check your gauge!

The bearded toque was inspired by (but not meant to replicate) the Bearded Cap by Vik Prjónsdóttir. This version is knit all in one piece, top down, with interchangeable mustaches, in one or two colours. I originally developed it as a commission but after a lot of interest I figured I’d self-publish the pattern PDF for anyone else interested. It is a very quickly written pattern so follow your instincts.

This page will serve to keep track of errata and document some of the finished projects.

errata as of 2/15/08:

• although the materials list a 12″ circular needle, a 16″ is fine too

And of course I’d love to see your FO’s!

happy knitting!

the KLL increases on the crown should start with K2 KLL (not K1) and continue from there
