Maple Leaf Touque
If you purchase 5 patterns from my Ravelry Store at the same time (add them all to your cart before you check out), the least expensive one will be free.
The Maple Leaf Touque is a hat that doubles as a scarf during the really cold winter days.
The rich fall colours certainly add a bright spot to those otherwise monochromatic winter days.
Touque (pronounced / ˈtuːk/) is Canadian for a knit hat. It’s knit using 2 colours of yarn at a time, and uses a total of 6 colours.
