There´s nothing like knitting a new cosy winter hat, with a traditional fair isle pattern and an added inner brim lining for extra warmth. This hat can be worn slouchy.

The hat is knitted bottom up in the round, featuring noughts and crosses fair isle motifs and a turnback brim.

Hunt through your stash, i used a mixture of yarns to knit this hat. It has a lovely snug fit, and very warm.

The decreases are on the plain knit rounds.

A great stash busting project.

Chart and written instructions, also Black and White charts

Tip - when you have turned your hat, carry on knitting to the left as usual, on the second round, when knitting the first stitch pull the yarn a little tighter to close the small gap

The matching mitts are NOT on the pattern, these mitts are made up with the chart from the HAT pattern and the RIBBING from my Marlow Mitts pattern.
