Tuque: The Littlest Studio

 


This latest version of The Littlest Studio's (free downloadable PDF) tuque has already been gifted. This one came with a request to shorten it about an inch.  

The fabric is a lovely French cotton terry knit from Northwest / Marshall Fabrics. I have to stop here to say that they have recently been bringing in some lovely cotton knits from Europe. It's worth a trip to check out until they up their online store game.  

This fabric makes the tuque fit a little more snug than the others made from sweater knits. It's a much better fit actually. It was pre-washed followed by a tumble in the dryer to eliminate the fear of post-make shrinkage.  

Other than shortening the tuque no other changes were made.
