Mill Hill Toque Update!

Mill Hill Toque

I designed the Mill Hill Toque to be a great, everyday beanie. It’s my go-to hat for chilly outdoor adventures and I think you’ll love it too! The knitting is relatively quick in worsted weight yarn and it’s really stretchy, so you can make the same hat for yourself and your knit-worthy friends and family. Best of all, it’s free when you sign up for my email newsletter! If you already signed up, but never downloaded the pattern, don’t worry — I’m going to send a reminder with the code in this week’s letter.

Update

This week I updated the layout of the Mill Hill Toque to match my current pattern look. Here are the changes I made:

The text is black instead of dark grey to make it easier to read.
Pattern instructions and abbreviations are all on one page without any photos to make printing easier.
Pattern name and page number are at the bottom of each page.

It’s also now available through my website and you can always just purchase the pattern if you don’t like getting newsletters.

Happy knitting!
