Fairly Easy Isle from Lisa McFetridge is a multicolor “First Fair Isle” slouchy hat in two sizes that will leave you hooked on stranded colorwork. The Fairly Easy Isle is also a stash buster - it gives the chance to use up some of those little balls of worsted weight color. The hat is knit in the round seamlessly from the brim to the crown. The Fair Isle patterns are in chart form only.
