INFO
Stay warm and fashionable in this modern, fair isle hat. The hat would be a great knit for left over yarn and mini skeins. The color possibilities are endless from neutrals to bright and vibrant.

Not sure if your colors work together? Take a black and white photo of your yarn choice or a normal photo and turn it into black and white. The more contrast you see in the photo, the more likely there will be enough contrast when knitted up, too.

This hat is a great project for colorwork beginners as it is worked with only two colors per round.
