Men's Metrosexual Toque
by Haley Waxberg
I was working on a series of Handmaiden Devon's cashmere toques for holiday
gifts this year when i ran into a few problems. The colours in one of the skeins
was pooling in a funny, not so attractive way. The second consideration was the
men who would be wearing it. They have round heads and don't look great in a
turned up toque. More importantly, they are fussy dressers, stylin' boys with
residual metrosexual tendencies. Necessity is the mother of invention ... this
pattern resolves the pooling problem and fits in with any downtown wardrobe.
