This pattern uses a combination of fair isle knitting, cabling, and mosaic knitting to create its design. Even though there are three colors used throughout the pattern you only ever hold two colors at the same time. If you can do two-color fair isle and cabling you can tackle this hat! You do not need experience with mosaic knitting to knit this hat (though it will help conceptualize the technique while you knit).

Instructions on how to complete this technique is included in the pattern, but if you’re feeling a little intimidated I’d recommend starting with my Skenonto Hat, it is a great introduction to this type of knitting.

Of course if you have any questions about how to knit this hat don’t hesitate to contact me. I’m happy to help!

In order to complete this hat you’ll want about 150y of the main color and 75-100y each of the two contrasting colors.
