Thick enough for the worst winter might throw at you, the Bergschrund Toque is perfect for fans of quick knits and stash busting. Its use of bulky-weight leftovers means you’ll finish this hat in no time.
This pattern is for you if… You like toques with generous brims, you need a thick hat for a proper winter, or you’ve got lots of bulky scraps from other projects to use up.
Move along if… Winter doesn’t get that cold where you live or you prefer a more lightweight fabric in your hats.
