Three Fair Isle Hats
I did it! I achieved one of my many knitting present goals and these hats are such a delight to look at all together in a row. I see the light at the end of my gift knitting tunnel. It's bright and wonderful!
All of the yarn is from knit picks palette and was left over from a fair isle project that was many years ago. I still have yarn left over :) Maybe some mitts will be in my far far knitting future.
I really don't have a favorite hat, I like them all. Each one I was wondering if I would like the color combinations and while I was knitting them, I fell in love.
I made some minor alterations. I did all of the decreasing after the fourth chart and I chose a different color for the ribbing to give it more of a major color theme. I like it that way.
Ravelry notes:
Red fair isle hat
blue fair isle hat
green fair isle hat
post about the green fair isle hat
Absolutely wonderful! I thought the green one was my favorite while you were knitting them, but now seeing them all together, they are all my favorites! I love the pattern and your choice of colors and alterations are perfect. The recipients are very, very lucky!

ReplyDeleteNow that I've worked my first stranded project, I say hats off to you (pun intended). That's a lot of work! Well done.
ReplyDeleteLovely hats! Those will be some happy gift receivers. Fair isle intimidates me... but it is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThose are all really beautiful. I can't pick a favorite. The crown on that hat is exceptionally pretty. I actually like your color choices better than the designer's!
ReplyDeleteOh Karen! They turned out so awesomely! I don't know which I like best! BRAVO!!
ReplyDeleteStunning Karen, they just say cosy and snug to me! xx

ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful Karen. What lovely, thoughtful gifts.
ReplyDeleteI have a fair isle sweater than my much older knitting friend, now deceased, made for me when I was in high school or college. It hasn't fit for a long time, and probably never fit my daughter right, but I can't bear to part with it...have kept it in the cedar chest...maybe I could just unravel the whole bottom and re-knit into a vest! Your hats are beautiful...maybe someday I'll spend enough time with yarn and needles to advance to trying something like this...cables are still on my learning list...have a great time!
