The design for this hat happened by accident -no,
really. When working on my first fair isle design
several years ago, everything looked great on
paper. However, due to unfortunate color choices
while knitting up the sample, the design kind of
looked like pencils. Instead of scrapping the
project, I decided to do a little more editing and
create real pencils.
The Back to School Hat is perfect for the teacher,
school board member, principal, superintendent,
or student in your life.
It’s a fun design and quick knit. A friend suggested
using a crazy multi-colored skein in place of the
goldenrod to mimic those plastic-coated pencils
that drive teachers crazy and break pencil
sharpeners.
