DESCRIPTION

The Traveler Hat by Andrea Mowry pattern has a soothing rhythm of alternating knits and purls.  It is a good lesson in both horizontal and vertical ribbing, slipped stitches, and mirrored decreases.  Sized to fit the whole family and designed to be made with either fingering or worsted weight yarn, this is a quick knit with enough challenge to keep your interest. 

Gauge is 26.5 sts & 46 rounds/ 4 inches, measured over K2P2 ribbing, after blocking.

A little bit of homework will make this class easier.  The Traveler starts with either 4 or 6-inches of K2P2 ribbing.  If possible, cast on for your desired size and then work the ribbing as far as you can before class so we can dive right into the main pattern.
