Originally released as part of our Wild Prairie Knits 2015 Year of Mini Mysteries. While traveling virtually to Toronto, Canada, we will be creating a stranded colorwork hat (or cowl) while we explore this amazing city and experience its sites, food and people.

Pattern includes 3 hat sizes and 1 cowl.

This is a great introduction to doing stranded colorwork.

Once again our friends at Stunning String Studio are offering “Stranded in Toronto” MKAL Hat yarn kits including yarn in your choice of over 150 amazing colors!

Our hat will be worked on a warm and luscious DK single ply yarn from the softest wool merino.

The pattern discussions will be in the Wild Prairie Knits group, so come and join us.

This pattern is knitCompanion® supported. What does that mean?
