I don’t design true Fair Isle knits. I leave that to the experts - but I really love the color combinations and traditional motifs. I have lots of hats that I consider “Fairish” Isle. This is one of them. Two Holly Charts are included, choose the one you like best. Knit with Blue Sky Fibers Woolstok worsted in 5 sizes to fit Newborn through XLarge heads. Any worsted that meets gauge can be used. Large (above) uses Holly Too Border. Hat on right above is XLarge with Holly Border and alternate shades.
Always choose size based on finished circumference. Copyright 2023 by Lisa McFetridge
