Charlie

Charlie's hat is a delightful replica of a hat worn by Charlie in the iconic show, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. As you knit this stylish fair isle hat, why not take a break and watch the Christmas special for that extra dose of inspiration? This unique pattern is perfect for fans and knitters alike!

Knitting Pattern Notes:

• For the best results, choose smooth and even yarns to ensure that the stranded color work truly shines as the centerpiece of this hat. While I opted for cozy wool to provide warmth during the cold winter months, selecting a washable fiber would make this fair isle hat an ideal gift for any friend or family member!
• Be mindful of the long floats when working through the fair isle section of this pattern. To maintain an even tension and prevent puckering, I recommend wrapping the floating yarn when they exceed 5 stitches. You can learn this technique by watching this helpful instructional video.
• If you're considering a provisional cast on to simplify the hemming, think twice! While it may create a smooth join, it won't achieve the folded or rolled look you might desire. For those who prefer not to pick up stitches, adding a purled round right after the first knit round will create convenient purl bumps that are easy to work with later on.

Get ready to knit with creativity and enjoy the process! Whether you're making it for yourself or as a delightful gift, this Charlie-inspired fair isle hat will keep you warm while showcasing your knitting skills. Happy knitting!
