Life never goes as you expect. No matter how hard you plan, things can always go awry. Such was my case for the better part of a year, but once the dust settles, you can get ‘Back On Track.’

This hat uses twisted stitches that creates a pattern that ebbs and flows its was up the hat. Similar to how life ebbs and flows as time goes on. The line from A to B might not always be straight, but as long as you are headed in the right direction, you can always get Back on Track.

I hope you enjoy the pattern.
