The rich colors and texture of the Fibre Company’s beautiful Acadia yarn resemble Kilim tapestry-woven carpets when worked up in this 3-color Fair Isle cap. Knit in the round from brim-to-crown, this project comes together quickly and is sure to inspire even the most color-shy to experiment with a variety of hues.
