PRODUCT: hand knitting pattern for Wavelength Hat

PUBLISHED: December 2021

INTRODUCTION

Continuing in the Wavelength series, a hat! From Wavelength Sweater, someone saw the design and thought it looked like sound waves, sound waves for our voices. Everyone has a voice, big or small, and every voice has value and how we use it is important. This series has been very dear to my heart and represents how I want to be a part of the world through my designs. Hope my work resonates and brings a little something more to your knitting!
