bearded toque

Size
• Adult M to L

Skill Level
• Advanced Beginner (ability to knit in the round and do basic increases and decreases)

Materials
• Any worsted weight yarn
• US size 8 circular needle (16″), or size needed to obtain gauge
• Set of double pointed needles in the same size
• Ruler or tape measure
• Crochet hook or tapestry needle
• A few sets of metal snaps
• Sewing needle and thread

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. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at vanessa [!at] giftable-designs.com. Happy knitting!

  11. James Says:

    Question about the pattern… Row 1 ends w 16 sts, row 2 is knitted around, row 3 starts w 16 sts, and you do K1 KLL and repeat around. That would seem to me that every stitch would result in 2 sts, but it says you will end w/ 24, not 32, as I would expect. Is that right?

    • v vine Says:

      Hi James,
      The problem you are encountering is indeed an error. I have it listed as errata– the line should read “k2, kll around” instead of k1 and then continue from there (next line would be k3, kll, etc)

      Sorry about the inconvenience. Happy Knitting!

  12. Liz Says:

    Hi – I saw James’ comment and I am confused as to where the error is in the pattern and how it needs to be changed. Could someone please elaborate? Please and thank you!

    Can someone help me please? I am to the part where you cast off for the opening and I don’t understand how to keep knitting in the round without closing that gap weirdly?
