Materials

  • 12mm hook

  • Paintbox Yarns Baby DK (55% acrylic 45% nylon, dk weight, 183 yards per skein)

    • MC – 2 skeins: Misty Grey

    • CC – 1 skein: Candy Floss or Mint Green or Pale Lilac

  • Alternative yarn: approx. 75 yards of super bulky yarn

    • Note: when using super bulky yarn I only crochet the body up to Round 14 then do 2 rounds of sc.

Abbreviations

  • ch = chain

  • sl st = slip stich

  • st(s) = stitch(es)

  • yo = yarn over

  • hhdc = herringbone half double crochet

  • MC = main colour

  • CC = contrasting colour

If you’re looking for a quick crochet project this ones for you. The use of a large hook and super bulky weight yarn this toque works up really fast.

What’s nice about using Paintbox Baby DK for this project is it makes a nice light-weight toque, perfect for the warmer weather.

Special Stitches

Herringbone Half Double Crochet:
yo, insert hook in stitch, yo pull up a loop, pull through first loop on hook, yo pull through both loops on hook.

Notes

  • pattern in US terms

  • finished size: approx. 10″ tall x 8″ wide

  • ch 1 at the beginning of each row does not count as a stitch

  • colour changes: MC – rounds 1 – 13, CC – rounds 14 – 18

  • when using DK weight yarn, crochet using three strands held together

    • take the 2 skeins of MC and roll in three equal sized balls, same as for the CC skein
