KNITTING PATTERN: Migrations Beanie, Easy Fair Isle Hat Knitting Pattern for Super Bulky Yarn
Please Note: This listing is for a KNITTING PATTERN only, not a finished product. You will receive a digital, downloadable file of instructions to knit this hat. If you would like to purchase a finished hat, please check my shop listings for a finished product!
This easy stranded colorwork design works up quickly and includes sizes for the whole family. I hope you’ll enjoy putting color combinations together and feel inspired to dig through your scrap yarn bin and get creative! You can use all one color for the contrasting color, or use up to 3 (a different color each row) for a more colorful design. The fair isle design in this pattern reminds me of migrating birds, hence the name.
This easy fair isle hat knitting pattern is written for 3 yarn weights (bulky (weight 5), single ply bulky (weight 5/6), super bulky (weight 6)) and 5 sizes, so the price is higher than my other patterns given the value you receive. I used Malabrigo Chunky, Baah Sequoia, and Malabrigo Rasta for my samples. A good place to find yarn substitutions is yarnsub.com.
Other single ply yarns I like are: Baah Sequoia, Malabrigo Noventa, Madeline Tosh ASAP, or indie dyed yarn (typically comes in a 76 yard/100g skein).
