This hat wouldn’t have existed 10 years ago, but now STEAM is something we should know about and celebrate. Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts/Architecture & Math (STEAM) are at the heart of this hat. These subjects are the future. I was a programmer when “girls who code” didn’t exist. My son works in the software industry and my daughter is a chemical engineer. STEAM is the big in our lives! So knit some rockets, musical notes, computer screens, houses, bluetooth symbols, DNA helixes, microscopes & a little slice of Pi and celebrate the movement. Two versions provided for those who want a train-free hat! Charts are slightly different for each size. All elements are in each chart. Steam has been lowered for ease of stranding.

So get on the S.T.E.A.M. Train and S.T.E.A.M. Train! It’s taking us to the future… Remember, the name of the hat doesn’t isn’t an adjective and a noun, but a noun and a verb! Three sizes: Child, Adult & Large Adult.
