DETAILS
I love the soothing rhythm of the Traveler stitch pattern, and wanted it in a small project I could cast on again and again for all of my loved ones! This pattern comes sized for the whole family in two different yarn weights. The Traveler Hat is knit from the bottom up, beginning with an extra cozy folded brim, and then transitioning into the super squishy texture of the Traveler patterns.

SUGGESTED YARN
For the Traveler Hats I chose to use two of Brooklyn Tweed’s classic bases - Shelter and Loft. I love creating versatile patterns that come with more than one yarn weight option and lots of sizes, so as soon as I finished my first Traveler Hat in Shelter, I decided to cast on another in its fingering weight sibling, Loft. If you’ve heard me talk about yarn, then you probably know that my happy place is woolen spun yarns. Not only are they delightfully squishy and textured to knit with, but they are also very insulating thanks to having a core of air that is warmed by our own body temperature - creating the coziest of handknits!
