Fair Isle Ski Hat

A very easy knitting pattern for a Fair Isle Ski Hat.

The pattern is written offering two options of knitting. Knit flat using two 4mm knitting needles or knit in the round using a 4mm circular knitting needle or four 4mm double pointed knitting needles.

The knitting pattern is written and charted.

Basic two-colour Fair Isle requires no new techniques beyond the basic knit stitch. (The purl stitch is not used when knitting Fair Isle in the round.) At each knit stitch, there are two available "active" colours of yarn; one is drawn through to make the knit stitch, and the other is simply held behind the piece, carried as a loose strand of yarn behind the just-made stitch.
