Wandering

Embark on a delightful journey with our "Wandering" hat knitting pattern, designed to inspire your creativity and the joy of knitting. This charming pattern invites you to step off the well-beaten track and slow down, allowing your curiosity to guide you along its intricate, meandering cable pattern. Experience a rewarding adventure of discovery that unfolds both on and off the needles. Where will the "Wandering" pattern take you in your knitting journey? Whether you're a novice or an experienced knitter, this unique hat is knit in the round from the bottom up, featuring both charted and fully written instructions to accommodate all skill levels.

This pattern utilizes the German Twisted Cast-On technique, adding a touch of flair to your work. If you're unfamiliar with this method, don’t worry—I've included a tutorial for this and other special techniques used in my patterns on my website, ensuring a smooth knitting experience.

Yarn Requirements: To create your "Wandering" hat, you'll need Eden Cottage Yarns, Askham Aran in the Thunder colourway (a luxurious blend of 70% Baby Alpaca and 30% Silk) with a generous yardage of 166 m (181 yds) per 100g skein. Depending on the size you choose, you'll need 103 (155, 208, 259) m / 113 (170, 227, 283) yds of yarn (note: this does not include yarn for a pompom if you choose to add one).

Needles and Notions: For this project, we recommend using 5 mm (US 8) circular needles, preferably in lengths of 40-60 cm / 16-24" (longer sizes work well for magic loop knitting), along with double-pointed needles if you prefer. Additionally, you'll need a cable needle for the cable pattern, stitch markers to keep track of your progress, and a tapestry needle for finishing touches.
