This hat is part of a set which features a pretty Fair Isle pattern.

Mary Henderson loves to design Fair Isle patterns. “The hat is roomy, so is ideal for those who like an easy fit,” says Mary.
For the hat, a pompom is optional - another decorative choice could be an unusual button.
Scheepjes Metropolis yarn has a soft handle, and works well for this relaxed design.”
