Warm, practical, and rugged, this is a manly toque! Written in sizes specifically for large noggins and using soft yet durable Aplaca Merino. This is a fast knit so that the lucky person getting this hat can go hiking in the mountains, wrestle bears, or something manly.
Ladies can do all these things and they can wear this hat too - it’s just that there are already so many awesome patterns for women that we thought it was time to make a pattern that a guy could point and say “I want that hat!”.
