From Victory Patterns:
Call it what you will - beanie, winter hat, block heater, but here in Canada, we call it a Tuque. All you really need to know is that this hat is sure to keep your noggin warm, cozy, and looking good!
This pattern is designed for use with a recycled sweater or lofty cable knit fabric. It features a ribbed band along the opening edge and a pom-pom to top it off. The pom-pom can be made out of recycled fur or faux fur. It has a relaxed, comfortable fit and is simple and quick to sew. It pairs perfectly with the Atlas Mitten pattern.
Two views present different fabrication options:
View 1 uses a recycled sweater and incorporates the ribbing hem band found along the hem edge of the sweater.
View 2 uses cable knit or cardigan knit fabric for the body of the hat and ribbed knit fabric for the band.
