Twinkle Toque Knitting Pattern
I needed a hat. I wanted it to be light weight yet warm, and if it used up some of the leftover sock yarn I had kicking around, so much the better! So, I turned to one of my favourite stitch patterns, the cross stitch, because I haven’t found a yarn that doesn’t work with it, and the result? Twinkle!
