The hat is knit from the top down with swirling cables that look like winds and currents on a map and four intersecting segments that look like a compass rose at the crown. It’s graded to four sizes, so there’s something for everyone.

And @megsandco_yarn created a special colorway just for this release, too! The gorgeous hot pink is inspired by Lauren’s racing team, and you can get your own skein to knit a hat with the your friends. A portion of the sales from these special skeins will also be donated to the fundraising effort.
