As the chill of winter settles in, there’s nothing quite like bundling up in a toque that’s not only functional but also beautifully designed. This season, I’m thrilled to introduce the Roslyn Toque – a unique and stylish addition to your winter wardrobe that goes beyond keeping you warm.
The Roslyn Toque features a distinctly designed crown, making it a standout accessory for any outfit. Whether you’re heading out for a brisk walk, meeting friends for coffee, or simply running errands, this toque adds a touch of sophistication to your winter look. It’s crafted with care and intention, blending warmth, comfort, and a little extra flair.
But what makes the Roslyn Toque truly special is the heart behind it. It’s inspired by and named after my dear friend Roslyn, a remarkable woman who dedicates her time and energy as a volunteer for our local Search and Rescue team.
A Toque That Gives Back
Meet Roslyn: A True Community Hero
Roslyn is one of those extraordinary individuals who exemplifies what it means to serve others. As a Search and Rescue volunteer, she’s part of a team that assists the RCMP in emergencies, from locating missing persons to responding to natural disasters. What many people do not realize is that these volunteers are unsung heroes. They pay for their own equipment, cover the costs of their training courses, and drop everything—work, family obligations, and personal plans—at a moment’s notice to help those in need.
Across Canada, an estimated 1,300 searches are conducted every year, and these dedicated teams make it all possible. Roslyn and her colleagues grab their orange jackets and head out, often in challenging conditions, to save lives and reunite families.
Throughout 2025, a portion of proceeds from each Roslyn Toque sold will be donated to our local Search and Rescue group. These funds will help support the essential work of volunteers like Roslyn by covering costs for equipment, training, and other resources they need to respond effectively to emergencies.
Behind the Design
The inspiration for the Roslyn Toque came from a desire to create something both timeless and meaningful. The uniquely designed crown represents the strength and resilience of those who dedicate themselves to the well-being of others. It’s a reminder that even small efforts can create ripples of impact.
Whether you’re an experienced maker or just starting out, this design offers a rewarding project with a beautiful result. The pattern is written to be clear and approachable, so you can enjoy the process as much as the finished product.
