First Fair-Isle

Fair-Isle Hat

My first fair-isle project. I did the chart 2 times and still missed a row, but if you don’t know the pattern, you’d never know that something isn’t right.  I like it and enjoyed working on it. My stitches are pretty uneven for the most part. It wasn’t til the last few rows that I finally figured out the best way to carry both yarns (in one hand).

I need to get more skilled at continental knitting before I try two handed fair-isle. But this isn’t bad for my first go at it. This picture doesn’t show it, but the top is sort of pointy, so I’m going to add a pompom using both colors.
