Welcome, Tulips is a cheerful goodbye winter/hello spring hat that showcases Bloom’s worsted weight Yearling or other great woolen yarns. With a clean, modern tulip motif and straightforward design, this hat will knit up quickly. Like traditional Fair Isle patterns, Welcome, Tulips uses only two colors per row making this project a great introduction to colorwork.

YARN: worsted weight
MC: approx. 44 (48, 63, 75) yards
CC1: approx. 29 (36, 46, 50) yards
CC2: approx. 6 (6, 8, 8) yards

A note about TWO-COLOR STRANDED KNITTING ~

When working the colorwork chart we recommend holding the main color in your right hand (English style) and the contrasting color in your left hand (Continental style). Working in this manner will allow the contrasting color to dominate and make the tulip motif stand out. Here’s a great video that shows knitting with two strands while also explaining how to “catch floats.”
