Cooking needlepoint patterns

Most show a chef's hat, the toque, upright, with a wooden spoon and whisk or a rolling pin below it: a tall hat with a puffed top above its band.

It is drawn in several styles, all on a four-inch square for 18 mesh. Most can also be made round. A white hat is shaded with pale close colors and wants a ground with color in it, so compare the threads and pick the background first.
