• Weekend project
• Cable pattern
• 4 sizes from baby to adult large
• Knit in the round

Step off the beaten track and distract yourself with the repetitive cables found in Wandering. This hat is knit in the round from the bottom up and includes both charted and full written instructions. The hat can be worn with or without a pompom.

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 blog.
