This striking knitted hat pattern incorporates a Japanese kanji character “風 (Kaze)” for the word “Wind.” The motifs continue around the hat just like the beautiful multi-panel screens of Byobu, presenting a series of images related to different aspects of winds. All the images are intersected and come to a full circle at the end.
