Have you seen Turning Red yet? It’s a super sweet movie about growing up and many of the changes that come with that. The main character is Chinese Canadian, and she wears a red hat covered with maple leaves because of course she does.
Joan Ho says the movie was literally her and her friends growing up, so she couldn’t resist knitting a hat inspired by the movie.
The Turning Red Toque uses two strands of worsted weight yarn held together, or use a bulky yarn if you have it. It uses stranded colorwork for the maple leaves and has an extra deep ribbed brim, just like Meilin’s.
It comes in one size and is a free download on Ravelry.
