And we have color in the Colorwork Tee! I’m at a place in the design where I can just start working from the needles (as opposed to drawing out a chart first). I am excited to be working with Bronze again as well as to be adding in some Marine. Unfortunately last weekend I got ahead of myself and divided for sleeves too early, so a lot of time was spent placing stitches back on the needles.
My younger son claimed this green Wayfarer The Wayfarer Hat as his own. I think it fits his style…
Jen finished her hat and posted this pic on her Ravelry page. Love this picture!
Also over the weekend, DH and I went to the Coast and the weather was perfect for hiking and photography. Here is one picture of the Yaquina Head Lighthouse. More pictures will follow in a future post.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by! I hope you have a joyful week!!!
Continuing the theme of travel and exploration is my newest pattern, The Wayfarer Hat, a companion to the Passport Mitts. A wayfarer is one who travels, especially on foot. Johnny Appleseed was a wayfarer, as are those who travel the Camino de Santiago. To my mind, a wayfarer is a wanderer, one open to what the road may bring, an explorer. Here then, is The Wayfarer Hat:

This hat is fun to knit and stylish to wear. The pattern is written for four sizes, fitting head sizes 18-25 inches. It is written for a snug fit and includes modifications for a more relaxed fit. It calls for Malabrigo Yarn Arroyo, a lovely sport weight in amazing colorways.
This is the original snug fit, worked in Malabrigo Yarn Arroyo in the colorway Indiecita:
This is Leanne’s lovely Wayfarer, knit in the Malabrigo Arroyo in the colorway Lavanda, relaxed fit:

This beautiful Wayfarer was knit by Alex, using madelinetosh Tosh DK in the colorway Cousteau. The madelinetosh shows the stitch definition beautifully. This is also the relaxed fit.
