Looks good for a first try I'll have Bulldog lady critique it more....

Yup the originals would keep hardtack, pemmican, or other materials the wanted safe in the top section which is why it folded over

Outside of appearing to be pink- looks good for first time,  I've got a pattern I can give you web site for if you like, it is a more solid pattern, knitting like everything else just takes practice.  Toque isn't a real beginners project.  Try just making some potholder squares till you get the hang of showing them needles who's the boss.  Size of  needles makes a big difference as does the yarn, the bigger the needles the looser the stitches, reverse works if to small,  you did a great job though,  Toques were sometimes made out of the sleeves of old jackets or coats and the end tied shut to hold food, etc.  Keep us posted on next one  BL

     Kris you are an inspiration to us all.  you have a mind to try to make something AND you dont give up.   You keep  improving until you reach perfection.               All this from a young man, would like to see you in say 40 years, to see what you have accomplished.   I see greatness in your life  Keep at it, never stop or give up.

[Watauga]

You are doing a fine job Kris
pilgrim is right you are an inspiration to us all (as are all the young men and women that embrace new challenges and win or keep trying till they do)
I like to think your experience in the Scout's has helped you Too!

voyageur1688 is right. In the canoe and streams all day, you need a place to keep your tobac and tinder dry.
