Knitting Jenny Pattern 71 is a “stash buster” designed with colorful wool leftovers.

The ski hat showcases 20 shades of wool; however, the pattern is a “stash buster.” Therefore, use whatever remaining colors in your “yarn stash,” or create a complicated planned colorscape.

Also, as an option, knitting with just two contrasting colors is a striking hat design. Simple designs are as pleasing as complex designs with Knitting Jenny Pattern 71.

Knitting Jenny Pattern 71: Fair Isle Inspired Ski Hat features a classic, seamless design that fits close to the head, with triangular segments converging at the crown.
