Our next Knit-Along begins February 18th. We will be creating colorful Fair Isle hats every Wednesday evening for 3 weeks from 5 – 7 pm, with the final meeting on Wednesday, March 4th. In just three short weeks you will have a beautiful hat that you can wear yourself or send to a snow-bound friend or family member. There are four patterns to choose from:
- DIY Fair Isle Hat (free)
- Three Tams (free)
- Selbu Modern Hat (free)
- Heartie Fair Isle Hat ($5)
All of the patterns are available on Ravelry. Yarn weights vary by pattern from fingering to worsted. We have a lovely selection of each.
