Breakthrough is inspired by the many paths, trails, and roads we all travel. Some are short and others long. These lines represent our journeys to discovery. On each path, we hope to connect with others - listen, learn, and respect each other - and continue to grow.

Breakthrough is a great unisex hat to add to your wardrobe. It is designed for DK weight yarn using two contrasting colors.

It was first featured in the January 2020 Issue 5 of yarnpeople.
