This two-color hat is a great first Fair Isle project, or a quick knit if you’re experienced at the technique. Either way, the pattern repeats are intuitive and easy to memorize. And once finished it lives up to its name!

Requires approximately 80 yards Main Color (MC) and 60 yards Contrast Color (CC).
Skill level: Advanced beginner
Finished Measurements: 20” in circumference, 8” from crown to cuff.
