Peaks and Valleys Hat - a knitting pattern

As you travel across the lonely landscape, you make your way from one valley and over a mountain pass only to descend into another valley and across it you can see the mountains rising again. The road before you twists and turns up and down through both the valleys and the mountains. Your trip seems to mimic life - full of ups and downs.
