Wander Hat

The Wander Hat is a fun and easy project inspired by classic Nordic ski hats. Featuring a folded in brim for added warmth and a clean finish, this hat is written for 3 sizes from child to adult XL. This hat knits up quickly in aran or worsted weight yarn and is the perfect accessory for all of your winter wanderings. I used [Rosa Pomar's Matiz][1] for the sample shown, but a heavy worsted weight yarn would work as well, just make sure you are meeting the required gauge to ensure a perfect fit. **MATERIALS Needles:** Note - needle sizes are suggested only. You may need to use a different size to achieve gauge. Main: US 6 / 4.0 mm Ribbing US 5 / 4.75 mm **Notions:** tapestry needle, row counter (optional), stitch marker, scissors **Yarn used in sample shown:** Rosa Pomar Matiz 100% fine Portuguese wool 219 yds / 200 m / 100 g Aran weight Colors used in sample: MC: C (grey/brown) CC: A (cream) **Yardage:** Note - yardage is estimated and may vary depending on yarn used, gauge variations and modification.

Note - You should always knit your swatch the same way that the pattern is knit—in this case, in the round. Block your swatch as you will your finished garment and allow it to dry fully before measuring. **Sizes: 1 (2, 3) to fit child (adult S/M, adult L/XL)** Measurements given are for the finished hat after blocking.
