I needed something to use up my remaining KnitPicks Swish Worsted, a very soft yarn that I only really had warm colors left of. This is what I came up with—a simple, chevron hat.
The fair isle helped give it extra bulk for warmth, but the plain rows aid it in staying stretchy. I tried to whip this up before I went visiting family, so it had to remain a fairly basic pattern in case I needed to finish it on the bus (which I did). It was a quick knit overall, would make a good gift, and would make an excellent scrapbuster if you were willing to do it in many different colors!
Modeled by my mom’s boyfriend. :)

Updated on March 3rd, 2016… I fixed a typo pointed out by user amyknits40! Thanks, Amy! I am an exceptionally tight knitter, which is why I use such large needles. It is much more important to get gauge than to use a matching size.

Updated on March 19th, 2017. Removed needle size from listing altogether. Working on revamped pattern.
