Snow Day Toque Free Knit Pattern

Nothing says January like a warm cable knit hat!  I designed this toque to be extra toasty since we are heading into our coldest months of the year.  The yarn that I selected is my favourite bulky yarn: Knit Picks Biggo.  It is extra thick, and extra soft – the perfect combination!

Snow Day Toque Pattern

Materials:

Here is what you will need to make this warm, cozy winter toque:

Gauge:

3.25 stitches = 1 Inch in stockinette stitch.

Size:

Adult.

Note: Adult head circumference = 22 inches.

Abbreviations:

K: Knit.

K2Tog: Knit Two Together.

P: Purl.

C6B: Cable 6 Back (slip 3 stitches onto your cable stitch holder to the back of your work, knit the next three stitches, then knit the three stitches off of the cable needle).

Pattern:

This hat is worked in the round.  Using circular needles, cast on 60 Stitches.  Place the stitch marker to mark the beginning of the round and join being careful not to twist your work.

Rounds 1-6: *K1, P1; repeat from * to end of round to make 1X1 ribbing.

Round 7-12: *K6, P4; repeat from * to end of round.

Round 13: *C6B, P4; repeat from * to end of round.

Round 14: *K6, P4; repeat from * to end of round.

Repeat rounds 7-14 two more times.

Start decreasing to shape the top of the toque (switch to double pointed needles when necessary):

Round 1: *K6, P2Tog, P2Tog; repeat from * to end of round (48 stitches remain).

Round 2: *K6, P2; repeat from * to end of round (48 stitches remain).

Round 3: *K6, P2Tog; repeat from * to end of round (42 stitches remain).

Round 4: *K6, P1; repeat from * to end of round (42 stitches remain).

Round 5: *K2Tog, K2, K2Tog, P1; repeat from * to end of round (30 stitches remain).

Round 6: *K4, P1; repeat from * to end of round (30 stitches remain).

Continue to finishing.

Finishing:

Cut yarn (leave a long tail) and pull through yarn needle.  Thread through the remaining stitches and pull tight.  Secure and weave in ends.

  1. I saw this pattern this morning on Instagram and here it is. I love the pattern and I’m excited to get it started.

  2. Cute! When I knit cables the last stitch in each cable section is always stretched out…any tips on how to avoid this?

  3. thank you so much for the pattern , it is very easy to read and i enjoyed making it for my niece and her daughter . great niece

    1. As long as it’s similar in weight to the yarn that is used, you should be fine. This yarn is classified as bulky, but its a little bit more than bulky – but not quite super bulky… if that makes sense.
