Torn-Up Toque!

I've been searching for the perfect yarn with which to make a cap. Thing is, what I was searching for had to be soft, yet show off intentionally dropped stitches for a lived-in, cozy look and feel.

I had Malabrigo Finito on hand, and it was a perfect foil for my dream hat of the season. Sock yarns would also make a good choice as long as the colors are semi-solid or solid.

I loved making this so much, I made three.

And no, you don't have to stack them like Girlfriend is here, but I guess you could--especially if it was really cold and you couldn't help but knit three like I did.

This one's a fun knit. It has an allover rib and if you follow the instructions (I give them to you round by round), you'll reproduce this hat with its totally randomly dropped stitches.

Or, you can, once you get the gist of what's going on with the
pattern, plan for more or fewer dropped stitches or just wing it and see what you come up with.

Sized from youth through large adult and unisex, the Torn-Up Toque is the perfect take-along pattern that you can make for yourself, family, and friends of all ages.

This is a fun pattern for an intermediate beginner.
