Eddystone Hat

Introducing the Eddystone Hat—an exquisite stranded colourwork design perfect for knitters looking to explore the charming world of Fair Isle knitting! This stylish hat is crafted using two contrasting colors, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and seasoned knitters alike. With no long floats in the pattern, the Eddystone Hat is particularly suitable for those who haven’t done much stranded colourwork before, allowing you to enjoy a satisfying and approachable knitting experience.

The Eddystone Hat is fully customizable in size, achieved by simply adjusting the needle size/gauge and following the corresponding charts for each size. This versatility provides numerous options for creating the ideal fit, whether you prefer a snug beanie or a more relaxed style. Additionally, you can easily modify the height of the hat by knitting more or less ribbing, giving you creative freedom to personalize your project further.
