Altered Twisted Trails is an expanded version of my free pattern “Twisted Trails”. The original pattern has been expanded to include sizing from newborns through adult, while the cables have been altered slightly. Hence the name. The hat is worked best with a smooth high twist yarn in tonal or light variegation.
