This hat was first published in the Winter 2009 issue of the online magazine Twist Collective.

The hat construction is modular — there are two bands (including a two-pattern band with reversible lettering), and two sets of compass points charted.

This pattern was in the original version of Extreme Double-knitting but due to a contract issue with Twist Collective, it was not reprinted in the new revision. There is an updated version in sport weight yarn called Four Winds v2.

Shortly after the printing of Extreme Double-knitting in 2018, Twist Collective went under and the rights to this pattern reverted to me. For those who are interested in the original, it is now available through my Ravelry store.
