A traditional fair isle patterned hat knitted from the brim up in the round.

This pattern was designed for use with our JC Rennie miniballs - 5 colours of 10g each - but will work just as well with oddments of fingering weight yarn. You will have plenty left over from the 5 miniballs, the hat in the picture weighs 32g! The pattern has been tested by knitters who have never tried fair isle before, its a learning curve but perfectly possible! Any problems with the pattern please get in touch.

The pattern now includes two motif options.
