I used Pure Merino for this project, and as I progressed with the fair isle work, I realized that the yarn, although pretty, was a little too “squishy” so the yarn didn’t lay the way I wanted it to. I’m still new at this, so try to keep an even tension, especially while working with the two colors. If there are any problems with the pattern, please let me know and I will fix it ASAP! I hope you enjoy making it.

*** Where it says “Yarn Suggested”, I put in the yarn I used. If you like the look and you love a stretchy feel, Pure Merino is fine, but I think I am going to try to remake the hat using Cascade 220. Let’s see how that goes.
