This is truly a Fair Isle beanie and is a fantastic example of color-work knitting. The pattern and colors are complex and still go very well together. It is a modern take on traditional knitting that will make this winter much more epic!

This hat is knit in the round with a traditional Fair Isle pattern. The knitter has a choice of creating a snug fitting beanie or a beanie that slouches. No matter the type of beanie the knitter chooses to make, the garment will provide warmth and fold to fit easily in a coat pocket.
