Product Details
The Treble Reel Toque is the sixth pattern in my series, All the Jigs and Reels.
The treble, or heavy, reel is usually the first hard (or heavy) shoe dance learned after the four softshoe dances. Hardshoes are the noisemakers everyone remembers from Riverdance. Like the light reel, the treble reel is in 4/4 time. The cables I've chosen fit the 4/4 theme and there's a bit of Moss st for accent.
The Treble Reel Toque is knit in the round and involves some short rows to lengthen the back and keep your ears and neck warmer. Too often hats ride up exposing earlobes to the frigid winds. Not with this one! I live on an island in the North Atlantic Ocean and spent much of my life on the flat prairies of Western Canada; I understand never ending cold winds. I used basic wrap and turn short-rows, and these are explained in the pattern. I hope you'll find them easy to do. This pattern also has decreasing cables in the crown shaping. These are explained in the notes section.
