Slipping Up Toque

When developing the patterns for the [Slipping Up][1] vest and the [Slipping Down][2] pullover, I realised that the dense and colourful stitch pattern would lend itself well to a knit hat. I didn’t have the time to develop the toque before the snow melted last winter, but wanted to make sure that I got back to the idea as soon as I could. > **Want exclusive discounts on Turquoise Toque Designs?
