In the fall
The fields are full
Of tangled pumpkin vines,
Waiting to decay—
To nourish the crops
Of spring.

This hat has two options: slouchy and watchcap.

Make it in any yarn that knits at either 5 or 5.5 stitches per inch.

The instructions assume that you know how to knit in the round, do Fair Isle and read a Fair-Isle chart. If you do not, check our First Fair Isle headband pattern for a tutorial, or look at our website’s video tutorial at www.reallyclear.com.
