I love the Fair Isle look but theres no way I could ever knit anything like that. Thats why Im always delighted to find a project in crochet instead. This hat is worked from the ribbed brim up. The designer explains the Fair Isle Single Crochet, but this is one time that I wish there was an instructional video. I did find one on YouTube that seems very similar.

Yes, yes! Oh my this is adorable. This look is so on trend right now. Try to find a nice hat like this at a department store, it won't be hand made. Try to find one at a boutique and you will pay an arm and a leg for it! I like the idea much better to make my own. I haven't attempted Fair Isle myself yet, but the way she writes the pattern makes it look so easy!
