The Gunnison is a simple fair isle hat. It knits up quickly and there aren’t any long floats so you don’t have to worry about tacking down anything on the wrong side. It’s a great first fair isle hat if you’ve never tried fair isle before. Additionally the pattern repeat is only 8 stitches long so it is very size customizable.

You’ll want to have about 125-150y of the main color and about 25y of each contrasting color to complete this hat. Aside from fair isle and knitting in the round, the only other technique you’ll need is SSK.
