These slip stitch hats are perfect for using up leftover bits of yarn and the slip stitch technique means you can create beautiful colourwork incredibly easily.

You only ever need one colour of yarn on each round, so there’s much less chance of getting your yarns in a tangle than with traditional Fair Isle.

They’re knitted in the round, to make maintaining the tension in the colourwork easier and to minimise finishing.

Instructions include 6 sizes to fit the average newborn, baby, toddler, child, small adult and large adult. Approx. circumferences are: 35, 40, 45, 48, 53, 58cm/14, 16, 18, 19.5, 21.5, 23.5”
