Ravelry: my notes
Added Notes:
1. This was a fun pattern to knit. Once I got through the 5-1/4 inch of fingering weight ribbing the tree pattern knit up quickly. I like the way the brim folds up offering that extra warmth on your ears.
2. Tanis Fiber Arts and I go way back. She was the first indie dyer I bought yarn from in 2011 when I got back into knitting. Since that time I have knit 38 projects with her yarn! When I saw the colourway Tanis dyed for Knit City this year I knew I wanted to do something special with it. I decided to knit Deep Woods Toque which had been in my queue for some time. I love how good this colourway looks when paired with Antique Lace. The bonus is I still have enough of the Tanis Fiber Arts skein left to knit another small project.
3. The only modification I made was to knit the first row in the same colour as the trees and not in a contrasting colour as the pattern suggests.

p.s. Thank you to my daughter for modelling this hat. I had her in mind when I knit it.
