Wassail, wassail all over the town…

Whether you’re planning to wassail or if you have plans to celebrate the holidays with your own tradition, this toque will keep you warm! The twisted stitch motif was inspired by Christmas trees, and the best part? You can work the twisted stitches without a cable needle!

The dark teal toque is an adult medium, and was knit with SweetGeorgia Yarn’s Superwash DK in the Pine Tree colourway.
