This Fair Isle-patterned slouchy beanie features a whimsical topper of two crocheted chain loops. The hat is knit in the round, beginning with a twisted rib brim. The body and crown are worked in three colors only, and as there are no particularly long floats it makes for a relatively quick and easy knit.
