Seamless Fair Isle Hat

Seamless Fair Isle Hat

Too many knit hat patterns today are a single solid color. This Seamless Fair Isle Hat offers some variety in both design and color, making it a stunning and eye-popping addition to your outerwear collection. Simply follow the easy instructions and the diagrams and you'll have yourself a no-sew hat that looks like it came right off of a department store's shelf. Try making the hat a little bigger to suit a your husband or son, as the style works brilliantly on men, as well.

Could you enlarge the chart for the Seamless Fair Isle Hat?. I started the hat, but the chart is too small to read. Thanks! Ellen
