A modern take on Fair Isle knitting, “Greenville” has an all over bold graphic design. It’s a simple to memorize pattern that creates a geometric pop. The sample pictured is knitted using Ikigai Fiber, Chibi Paka Chunky in colors Cadet, Avocado, and Absinthe.

In addition to the hat, this pattern contains instructions for a cowl as well.
