Vagabondo is the beginning of my experimentation with wandering cables (read more about these in the pattern notes).
It is also a playful investigation into asymmetry within symmetry, a concept that is evolving in my head and that I would love to express in my knitting and sewing world.
Vagabondo means wanderer in Italian and it represents what this cables are doing: wandering around your head, creating a unique textured fabric.

(My son, who’s modelling the hat, is known to have a very big head, that’s why the hat is an adult size!)
