If you’re new to colourwork, this Block Patterned Hat is a great place to start, using the Fair Isle technique with only two colours per row. Knitted flat with some simple shaping, this is a great project for knitters who want to try something a little bit more complicated in a small space! A gorgeously multi coloured pompom tops it off, using up all the spare yarn you have left!
