Wandering Hat

• Cable design
• Knit in the round
• 4 sizes from baby to adult large

Take time to step off the well-beaten track and slow down to follow your curiosity along the meandering path with Wandering. The repetitive cable pattern provides interest both on and off the needles, making it the perfect project when you need to distract yourself with some gentle knitting. Where will Wandering take you?

This hat is knit in the round from the bottom up and includes both charted and full written instructions.

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.
