This is a true Fair Isle beanie. It has the look and feel of a piece right out of the highlands. Knit with wool yarn, the Fair Isle makes it very thick. It is perfect for any cold winter day. The ridged 2 color pattern stands out and is very dynamic. It is the perfect edition to any winter coat!

The two color stranding technique used is simple enough for knitters that are just beginning colorwork while still being engaging enough for an experienced knitter. The knitter also has a choice of creating a snug fitting beanie or a beanie that slouches. No matter the type of beanie the knitter chooses to make, the garment will provide warmth and fold to fit easily in a coat pocket. The hat can be masculine or feminine based on the colorways chosen by the knitter.
