This fair isle knit hat pattern is an excellent project for anyone who is looking to work with more than one colour in their knitting.

• DESCRIPTION

The hat is easy to make, with intermediate knitters in mind.

Using knit and purl stitches, you will create ribbing, then using 4 colors you will create an intricate design for the main body of the hat.

This hat will be super cozy to wear in the cold weather.

Yarn

Any bulky/chunky/12 ply yarn.

1 x skein of Kartopu Melange Wool in M1009 – Grey

1 x skein of Kartopu Melange Wool in MK928 in Light grey

1 x skein of Kartopu Melange Wool in MK135 – Pink

1 x skein of Kartopu Melange Wool in K3063 – Mustard

Needles

5.5 mm (US 9) 16″ circular knitting needles

6 mm (US 10) 16″ circular knitting needles

Please note – you may have to change your needles for the decreases of the hat if working on the 16″ circulars becomes too tight.

This would mean using a set of size 5.5 mm (US 9) double-pointed needles (DPNs).

If you do not have those, you could use a 60cm/24″ cable and use the magic loop technique.
