Here’s a fun topper to chase off the chill, knit in our lovely plump Worsted wool yarn in a simple easy to memorize fair isle pattern. This hat is written in 3 sizes but can be further adjusted as needed by modifying the repeat. A nice full pompom is made at the end from all the remaining gradient yarn. Uses one gradient and one semi-solid contrasting color.

I originally designed this as a kit - you can see that version here. This new version is simplified, using the gradient background for color change instead of striping different yarns.
