Head

Amethyst Wish Toque

  • View of a winter hat from behind. Hat features an all over fish-scale type pattern.
  • A white toque featuring a pink and purple broken seed stitch motif laying flat in the snow.
  • A woman wearing a purple version of this hat pattern.

A quick knit for using up leftover yarn from other projects, the Amethyst Wish Toque uses broken seed stitch to create a dynamic overall colourwork texture while only using one colour per round, making it perfect for beginners.

This pattern is for you if… You’re new to knitting with more than one colour, you want to knit with only one colour at a time, or you want an easy to remember stitch pattern that looks more complex than it is

Move along if… You prefer something with a more challenging construction.
