The Cherry Fizz Hat from Kate Atherley is an easy way to get started with stranded colorwork: this hat is designed specifically as a skill-builder. The stitch patterns are easy to work and easy to remember, and the small pattern repeats help you keep your tension nice and even. As long as you know how to work in the round, you’re good to go! And if you’re an experienced Fair Isle knitter, this is a fun and quick project. Rush gift knitting, perhaps? The pattern includes a tutorial on working Fair Isle, and blocking instructions. Colorwork pattern is charted only.
