The Thicket Toque is a unisex, close fitting hat which uses a twisted stitch pattern inspired by the twist and tumble of blackberry vines. It's the perfect sort of hat for a long walk on a chilly autumn day! The pattern includes both charts and line-by-line written instructions, as well as instructions for working the stitch pattern with and without a cable needle.

The green sample toque is a size large, and was knit with Ancient Arts Fibre Crafts' 100% Superwash Merino DK in the Sagebrush colourway. The brown sample toque is a size extra-large, and was knit with Fiddlehead Farm's natural Shetland/Romney DK yarn.
