A tuque on the needles
Knitting makes stitches with yarn and needles. Patient people pass on these movements to create useful clothes.
Look together
Who would you give a tuque to?
An idea to try
Observe a tuque or another knitted garment at home. Your child describes what they see, then draws the hat they would like to give someone.

A little more to discover
Knitting is among the textile skills shared through the Cercles de Fermières du Québec, alongside sewing, embroidery and weaving. Since their founding in 1915, these groups have encouraged learning between experienced people and beginners. Heritage documentation also highlights exchange, mutual help and making things for oneself, loved ones or the community.
A tuque, or knitted winter hat, connects yarn with a garment. Look at one at home: its shape, colours and visible stitches. Your child can imagine someone they would give a tuque to and choose colours with that person in mind.
