New to colorwork? Learn to knit Fair Isle or stranded knitting using two colors per round. Want to learn a new method of knitting Fair Isle? Learn to knit with one color in each hand, two colors in your right hand, or two colors in your left hand. In this workshop, we’ll use the Madison Park hat to practice Fair Isle knitting. This hat uses small, intuitive colorwork patterns that enable you to focus on your technique. There are no long floats, so you won’t need to worry about catching your yarn when working with two colors. By the time you finish the hat, you’ll be comfortable with your chosen method of Fair Isle knitting.

Materials Required:

16-inch US Size 4 and Size 5 circular needles; stitch marker; DK weigh yarn: About 125 yards in color A, and 30 yards in in colors B, C, and D. I'll provide the pattern for the Madison Park hat in advance of the workshop.

Prerequisites: 

Knitting in the round, basic increases and decreases
