Knitting Jenny Patterns 100 and 101: Fair Isle Inspired Ski Hats feature a classic, seamless design.

Knitting Jenny ski hats are similar in styling and fit to a variety of traditional hats, including the beanie, Monmouth cap, skull cap, toorie, toque, watch cap, and woolly hat.

The patterns include motifs and instructions in the following inclusive formats:

  • Color Charts
  • Grayscale Charts
  • Grayscale Inverse Charts
  • Written Instructions
  • Illustrations

The ski hats are knit circularly, and constructed as follows:

Cast on, knit the brim, increase, knit the stranded colorwork of the head, then systematically decrease at the crown.

The hat patterns create medium size hats, which fit an adult head.

The book includes a bundle of two Fair Isle ski hats, as follows.
