Take time to step off the well-beaten track and slow down to follow your curiosity along the meandering path of Wandering. The repetitive cable pattern will accompany you on a journey of discovery, both on and off the needles. Where will Wandering take you?

This hat is knit in the round from the bottom up and includes both charted and full written instructions, as well as a separate version for knitters with additional visual needs.

This pattern uses the German Twisted Cast-On. You can find a tutorial for this and any other special techniques used in my patterns on my website.
