Knitting Jenny Patterns 96, 97, and 98: 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, skull cap, toque, toorie, watch cap, woolly hat, and Monmouth cap.

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

This book includes a bundle of three Fair Isle ski hats, as follows.
