TanisKnits
Polarized Hat combines Latvian braids, Fair Isle, and corrugated ribbing, and this is an ideal project for first-time colorwork knitters. This hat is named by
Tanis’ son, who at the time was learning about polar opposites in preschool—up &
down, left & right, dark & light, tall & short, etc. He walled in,
saw her yarn, and said, “your hat is polarized!” This is a fun hat to knit and
wear using worsted weight yarn. The Fair Isle pattern is in chart form only.
