This pattern uses the techniques of moasic knitting on the background of a two color garter stitch. If you are comfortable with knit/purl/slip stitch and knitting in the round, you’ll be able to tackle this hat.

Because the hat is knit using mosaic knitting techniques you never have to carry two colors at once, instead you just alternate colors every row. When you finish one row, just drop the yarn you just used and pick up the yarn from the previous row. Perfect for anyone who wants to try colorwork but hasn’t mastered fair isle.

You’ll need about 100y of each color of worsted weight yarn. Also, my knitting is usually looser than most people - make sure you test your gauge before starting. Some of my test knitters decided to use aran to match my gauge.

Make sure you read the knitting instructions before starting!
