i just finished this hat for the first time and let me tell you IM SO HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS!! you made the pattern soo easy to follow and even as a beginner i'm so proud of the work i did! i learned so much about knitting through this project;)
In the old days women and young girls got together to learn to knit. Thanks to UA-cam and people like you who are willing to give their time to pass down this great knowledge women and young girls can get together and learn to knit.
Wow! What a beautiful job, both of knitting and of teaching! I know because of your great teaching skills I can knit this lovely hat on circular needles for the first time, decrease for the first time and use two yarns for the first time! I'm almost 75, you can teach an old girl new tricks 😊 Thank you, I can scratch those things off of my list as soon as I get the needles! I am confidently determined because of you! Thank you!
I love the way you talk like you are here beside me. That's so cute. As old as I 'm you young girls are making me proud of you. To see that knitting and crocheting will live on. And you are teaching me a thing or two. Thank you for that. :)
I just completed my very first fair isle hat! I am very proud of myself..never thought I would be knitting fair isle anything. Your video was the best I have ever seen. I started this project yesterday about 1:00pm (11/27/16) and finished it this morning about 10am (11/28/16). Thanks again for the great video :)
Thanks for doing this video!! You did a great job on it: it's easy to see what you are doing and I LOVE that you did it as though you were sitting next to me and teaching me. This is my first time using a chart and doing fair isle, you made it look far easier than I thought it would be. It's great to be able to see what something is supposed to look like so I know if I'm doing it right or not.
It's 5:45 am and thanks to your video I just finished knitting my first fairs isle project. My ta turned out beautiful and very impressive. I can't believe I did it.Watching your videos help me so much. You anticipate my every question. Thank you .
Just finished my version of this hat, only my second attempt at fair isle knitting, and my first attempt using circular needles, and it turned out fantastic, I used the same colour yarns as in the video. The video was very easy to follow.
I would just like to say. You are awesome.. This tutorial + written instructions was so easy to follow. I am so happy I found you. Keep doing what your doing.
I just wanted to thank you so much for making this video, and all of your videos! I have learned so much from you. Since I started knitting, I have avoided anything with charts because it just looked intimidating. With your help, I made this hat in 2 nights! You made it so easy to understand. I learned how to do a chart and I learned how to do the magic loop method, all thanks to you!! You make the best knitting tutorials I have ever seen, thank you!
Hello from France - Merci beaucoup ! Thank you so much. I've been struggling to find a good fair isle tutorial video and you just made things much easier for me.
Wow! This is the most explicit tutorial on Fair Isle I've came upon! Thank you, thank you...I really think that I am ready to jump in to this now! Your a wonderful teacher to say the least😉❤
Thank you so much. This was my very first fair isle project attempt. It was a complete success thanks to you. I will definitelly do it again, maybe with different colour combinations. Thank you for your time .
Can I just day that I watch all of your videos as I am a fairly new knitter and your tutorials are so easy and enjoyable to watch (: Keep up the beautiful work! -B.
FANtastic vid! I've been wanting to make a hat like this one, now I can do it! I've only watched a few minutes & I can tell it's a very thorough tutorial. I needed this one, thank you!!!!!
Now this was a really good video. I enjoyed it very much. I love the magic loop method at the end as it looked so much easier to deal with than the double pointed needle method. I must admit that I am not confident at using pattern charts as I am more used to written instructions so this would be a bit of a challenge for me. But I do like the fair isle design, I think it is beautiful. Many thanks for posting this video on UA-cam.
Thank you for this. I've been wanting to try fair isle for a while, but it seemed too intimidating. You are the only one that I've found who breaks it down and explains instead of glossing over things other knitters 'should' know. :)
I am a crocheter and can defend myself some in knitting. I am so excited to receive the takumi interchangeables needles that you use here tomorrow so I can do this hat and many other projects!!! :D
Thank you so much for these instructions ! I have been looking for step by step directions for fair isle. You are awesome ! Makes me happy! Now I can knit up a storm :)
I wanna thank you for sharing your skills and showing me this fair isle pattern!!! You made it so easy to follow you and my hat came out great. I love my hat thanks again and again and again lol!!!
Your video is delightful! I learned how to do fair isle, which has been on my bucket list forever. It seems like this is more of a beanie than a tam though. Thank you!
Thank you very much for this video tutorial. I've been uncomfortable with chart knitting, but you have explained it well. Thank you for volunteering your time to teach this. Romans 10:8-13
Beautiful hat! I love the way you explain. I'm making this hat today. May I suggest holding and working with color B with your non dominant hand, it will make it go faster and your yarns won't tangle up at all.😊 Thank you for sharing.
great pattern, i'm doing it right now for the first time with my new interchangeable needles and i love how it's turning out. Thank you so much for the video and was wondering if you had anymore like this
I've never worked with DPNs before and they look intimidating to work with, but maybe DPNs are easier to work with than I think they are! However after seeing you work the Magic Loop Method (I've never used the Magic Loop Method either), it looks easier than using DPNs! Thanks for doing this video You make it look soooooo easy!
I am so glad I found this video! You knit just like me and hold the yarn in your right hand only. So many other color work videos show both hands holding the yarn and I can not manage that technique. One question: Do you have any advice on which color should run below in the floats? It seems that you sometimes have the white below and other times you have the grey below. Thank you so much!
Maravilloso tus proyectos de tejidos, este gorro lo he hecho varias veces nunca me canso de ver como se va transformando la lana...gracias por compartir tus conocimientos saludos desde mi país 🇨🇱 chile
I LOVED learning from this video. For a long time, the chart symbols had me completely stumped. I appreciate you for doing this video. Do you have any videos that tell knitters how to knit patterns into fair isle THUMBS, on mittens? I always mess up on those thumbs, the decreases and colors get very mixed up.
I just completed this hat and, overall, it looks great! It has terrific stretch and size. I have a question about the decreases, however. Mine look a little gnarly, even though I had no trouble at all doing them. Is there some trick to having them look smoother and more regular?
Thank you, just finished my first fair Isle hat 😀 still weary of the charts button gave me a better understanding of them. So do you have any other patterns, in fair isle, would love to try some. Again thank you
I absolutely love your videos. It was your cable cozy video that helped me make my first knitted project. I would really love to make this hat. And so I tried. I used the shortest wires that I have and it was difficult to try to knit the hat. The longer wires were far too long. I don't have double sided needless (but I will be getting them soon) so I wanted to know if it were possible to cast on more stitches? If so, how much? And will it affect the pattern? How much would I need to cast on for the pattern to not be affected?
Also, I don't recall seeing you connect in the round while making this hat... What's the best way to connect in the round when using circular knitting needles?
What brand circular needles did you use? I really should invest in a set like yours. Ive never used DPN so Im not sure what length and how to change DPN while knitting. I love how you explained this makes this beginner want to work on this!
How do you knit the pattern into a fair isle thumb? I always mess it up, and when it calls for 2 color increases, I don't understand how to do that in a thumb. Have you got a video on thumbs with patterns knitted into them??
Do those knitting needles have a special name? I was just wondering because I have never seen one that is interchangeable. Also where could I find one and how much would it cost? Would say micheal's craft store, or Jo-Ann's, or hobby lobby have them? Or webs? They look super useful. Do they have any problems? Like do they unscrew or anything when ur working with them?
Currently I loom knit, but would like to learn needle knitting. This is a very good tutorial, however, you lost me at the decrease pattern part. I understand about knit 2 together, but I don't understand the chart. What are the blank spaces on either side of the decrease mark (airplane thingy). Are those current stitches too or places where the old stitches were that are now decreased? Does that make sense? I just don't understand reading the decrease part of the pattern. This tutorial is probably the best one I have ever seen and I have watched many.
First of all, that is the best compliment anyone has given me. Thank you so much! So if you click on the link to go to the written pattern, it actually has the explanation of that weird airplane sign lol. It means to sk2p: Slip 1 as if to knit, knit 2 tog, pass slipped stitch over - decreased 2 stitches. I hope you end up giving it a try! Let me know! Happy Holidays :)
Hi iknit I am following your tutorial on the net hat I noticed after that includes you said we should have a hundred and twenty stitches I have a 121 I wanted it one extra so how can I get rid of that extra Stitch
I just finished my hat and it is probably the most impressive knitting project I've completed so thank you! However it seems I have a small head, the hat is a little too large. If I remade one using smaller needles could this make a smaller hat for me? I know the pattern says one size fits all..
Hey, you're welcome! The hat is supposed to be slouchy, is that the problem? Or is it the brim? If so, then I would use smaller needles next time and that should do the trick! Keep me updated :)
The patterns says it’s not available anymore :( my daughter really wanted me to make it for her too! She just got blocked and purple yarn for it from Christmas
Can I use any worsted weight yarn? Because I have 2 skeins of size 5 that I just bought and would hate to return. Also if I do that can I use size 8 and 9 needles( if I do that will it change the gage of the pattern?) Please anyone reply quickly! Thanks so much!
iKNITS, I have a question about yarn. I want to make this hat for a friend about to go through chemo. I learned the best yarn to use is a cotton blend. It is a smaller weight of yarn. I decided to use size 6 circular needles to start with however that makes a small brim. Can i increase the number I cast on or will it mess me up later in the pattern? Thanks for any advice
Hey, the only problem with using smaller weight and needles is that your gauge is going to be off for the whole pattern, not just the brim. So it will be too small. Have you tried holding your yarn double and making a gauge swatch to see if that would work? There’s also some cotton yarns that are size 4 worsted weight yarn..
I'm new to knitting. I bought circular needles but they are steel and the corded part is attached. What brand/where did you get yours so that the needles just twist off to change sizes? Do I need ones like those or can I change the needles I have with larger ones I have somehow at the increase?
Hey! Thanks for sharing this pattern, it' s lovely. Can you please help me out with this one? How can i knit this hat with a yarn for needles size 9-10 using needles size 7 and 8? If I cast on 80, it's too big... Thanks in advance
It' s bulky and it' s recommended that it' s knitted with needles size 9 and 10, so when I use my size 7 and 8 needles, it does not come out very tight... Maybe I should I should go for a smaller yarn...
Can you tell me how you go about putting the stitches on a larger needle in order to do the magic loop version once the hat gets too small for the smaller circular needles?
Kathy Kirstein yes! What I do is get my larger cable and put the right needle on that cable. And if you want, you can put a larger size needle on the other side of the larger cable but you don't have to. Then I usually just knit the next round onto the new cable. So you'll have your smaller cable as your left needle and your larger cable as your right needle until you finish that round and you will have all the stitches transferred into your new larger cable and then unscrew the left needle and put it on the other side of your cable! I hope that makes sense.
So, the pattern on the Lion Brand website is for a tam, but it looks like the pattern you're working with doesn't have the slouchy back. Do you have a pattern for that? Does it change anything? Also, great tutorial :)
The pattern says that they wet blocked the hat over a dinner plate once they had finished it, That should give you the slouchy back from the same pattern.
i just finished this hat for the first time and let me tell you IM SO HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS!! you made the pattern soo easy to follow and even as a beginner i'm so proud of the work i did! i learned so much about knitting through this project;)

I'm with you. I've done very little color work using hat pattern would allow for learning the technique on a small project.
Now this was a really good video. I enjoyed it very much. I love the magic loop method at the end as it looked so much easier to deal with than the double pointed needle method. I must admit that I am not confident at using pattern charts as I am more used to written instructions so this would be a bit of a challenge for me.

you are so talented at knitting! I get so confused when I look at a knitting pattern, but you videos help so much! :)
Wow! Your directions are superb. Thank you. I can’t wait to make this cute hat.
By far the best video for fair aisle ive found, straight to the tutorial without too much talk!!!!!!❤❤❤
Thank you for this. I've been wanting to try fair isle for a while, but it seemed too intimidating. You are the only one that I've found who breaks it down and explains instead of glossing over things other knitters 'should' know. :)

Gladys Camano thank you for the suggestion! I definitely will do it that way next time
I made one and love it! It wasn't hard at all. Thanks for the wonderful instructions.
great pattern, i'm doing it right now for the first time with my new interchangeable needles and i love how it's turning out. Thank you so much for the video and was wondering if you had anymore like this
That's great! Yes if you go to my channel and click on videos you will see all my other tutorials 😊
I impressed myself with how well mine turned out and I thank you for it.

Wooo! A patterned hat! Maybe i'll try it one day :)
I was thinking if you could show us how to do thrummed mittens or socks?
Well I just fell in love! Never heard of thrummed. Do you have a pattern in mind?
Yesssss!!! Great idea! I would love to see thrummed mitten or socks project as well!!

I am in love with your videos they are all such cute patterns!! Great tutorial can't wait for the next one!!!
Hi I did it!! I couldn't believe my skills😄so clear so easy so thank you!
Hi this looks so cool! I do have round needles but just one size. Could I manage this without changing the needle sizes?
Love the effect of the double decreases on the crown.
Me too!
Thank you so much! I was really intimidated by this pattern but you explained it so well! Could you do a tutorial on mittens or socks, too?
you are an awesome teacher, thank you for making so easy to follow xx
Can you do a tutorial on an oversize sweater or a poncho?
I LOVED learning from this video. For a long time, the chart symbols had me completely stumped. I appreciate you for doing this video. Do you have any videos that tell knitters how to knit patterns into fair isle THUMBS, on mittens? I always mess up on those thumbs, the decreases and colors get very mixed up.
That's so good to hear! No I don't, this is the first fair isle tutorial I've done. I'll have to look for a pattern!
I got a set of the short circular needles and like them for this
I just completed this hat and, overall, it looks great! It has terrific stretch and size. I have a question about the decreases, however. Mine look a little gnarly, even though I had no trouble at all doing them. Is there some trick to having them look smoother and more regular?
You are a fantastic teacher!
Oh thank you! You just made my day ❤️
I actually look forward to these new patterns
aww thank you! That means so much to me! :)
you are very welcome

Thank you for this wonderful video! I'm making this hat and it's working out well.
thank you so much I did make it and it came out wonderful I messed up a little bit at the top but it came out good
you make it look easy girl lmao~ thank you for the tutorial :D
Thank you, just finished my first fair Isle hat 😀 still weary of the charts button gave me a better understanding of them. So do you have any other patterns, in fair isle, would love to try some. Again thank you

Thank you for the pattern, it looks different on your head than at the website.
I know you've done a video for slippers before, but could you one day do a video on how to crochet regular boot slippers? xo
You are the best knitter ❤️❤️❤️
Very nice..this is exactly what I was looking for.. N m so excited to do now.. Thanks for the video !!!!happy Halloween!!! From Thailand!!
Also, I don't recall seeing you connect in the round while making this hat... What's the best way to connect in the round when using circular knitting needles?
Lisa Vitale at 3:18 is when i join in the round.
Oh, okay, great thanks!
It just went by so quickly I missed it!
What brand circular needles did you use? I really should invest in a set like yours. Ive never used DPN so Im not sure what length and how to change DPN while knitting. I love how you explained this makes this beginner want to work on this!
Thank you solo much for the tutorial know I can make ski mny thing just from your ik it's channel! Keep up the good work
I am making this hat now. The Heartland yarn is perfe t for it!
How do you size this to your head? Is there a special way to adjust the number of cast in stitches or something to get the right circumference?
Hi, i started this hat but i cannot open the link for the written instructions please please i need them
How do you knit the pattern into a fair isle thumb? I always mess it
up, and when it calls for 2 color increases, I don't understand how to
do that in a thumb. Have you got a video on thumbs with patterns
knitted into them??
Hey! I haven't done fair isle gloves so I am not sure, I'd just assume it's the same just in the round and decreasing
No, it's not. :) It's different. or it seems so to me.
+Nancy Brown well I will definitely have to try it out!
Do those knitting needles have a special name? I was just wondering because I have never seen one that is interchangeable. Also where could I find one and how much would it cost? Would say micheal's craft store, or Jo-Ann's, or hobby lobby have them? Or webs? They look super useful. Do they have any problems? Like do they unscrew or anything when ur working with them?
Might you have an idea for a replacement yarn that is made of a natural fiber?
Thanks
thank you so much! You've helped me knit my first hat :)
Love how it turned out ♡♡

do I have to change the needle size?
Have you noticed any jog on your new rounds where there was a changing of colors? Thnx
I just finished my hat and it is probably the most impressive knitting project I've completed so thank you! However it seems I have a small head, the hat is a little too large. If I remade one using smaller needles could this make a smaller hat for me? I know the pattern says one size fits all..
Hey, you're welcome! The hat is supposed to be slouchy, is that the problem? Or is it the brim? If so, then I would use smaller needles next time and that should do the trick! Keep me updated :)
The patterns says it’s not available anymore :( my daughter really wanted me to make it for her too! She just got blocked and purple yarn for it from Christmas
It’s available! Google “Gretchen’s easy tam” and it should pop up!
You made that look so easy!
I love his pattern only thing that the yarn keep getting tangled thank you so much for the tutorials
Can I use any worsted weight yarn? Because I have 2 skeins of size 5 that I just bought and would hate to return. Also if I do that can I use size 8 and 9 needles( if I do that will it change the gage of the pattern?) Please anyone reply quickly! Thanks so much!
A larger yarn will result in a bigger hat. Bigger needles will result in an even bigger hat.
Completely new to knitting -- how long are the 2 tails after you make the slip knot?
iKNITS, I have a question about yarn. I want to make this hat for a friend about to go through chemo. I learned the best yarn to use is a cotton blend. It is a smaller weight of yarn. I decided to use size 6 circular needles to start with however that makes a small brim. Can i increase the number I cast on or will it mess me up later in the pattern? Thanks for any advice

@@iKNITS That is a fantastic idea! Ok I will try that! Thanks for the quick response and for posting such great videos! You are a great teacher!
Can you tell me about how many yards of the A and B yarn you need?
I have a question, where did you get those type of needles where you can unscrew the ends and what are the name brand of the needles. I like those.
look on amazon and search interchangeable knitting needles, there's a few to choose from but be warned they can be quite expensive
I'm new to knitting. I bought circular needles but they are steel and the corded part is attached. What brand/where did you get yours so that the needles just twist off to change sizes? Do I need ones like those or can I change the needles I have with larger ones I have somehow at the increase?
+Jade Murphy I have the attached one too,you can still do it . Get the bigger size and change it after you make the brim,start row with size 8.
Hey! Thanks for sharing this pattern, it' s lovely. Can you please help me out with this one? How can i knit this hat with a yarn for needles size 9-10 using needles size 7 and 8? If I cast on 80, it's too big...
Thanks in advance
What size yarn is it?
It' s bulky and it' s recommended that it' s knitted with needles size 9 and 10, so when I use my size 7 and 8 needles, it does not come out very tight... Maybe I should I should go for a smaller yarn...
I would do worsted weight (4) yarn :)
Can you tell me how you go about putting the stitches on a larger needle in order to do the magic loop version once the hat gets too small for the smaller circular needles?
Kathy Kirstein yes! What I do is get my larger cable and put the right needle on that cable. And if you want, you can put a larger size needle on the other side of the larger cable but you don't have to. Then I usually just knit the next round onto the new cable. So you'll have your smaller cable as your left needle and your larger cable as your right needle until you finish that round and you will have all the stitches transferred into your new larger cable and then unscrew the left needle and put it on the other side of your cable! I hope that makes sense.
Do you know how much yarn this would take if one color of yarn was used instead of two?
Hi
I found a replacement yarn but, the yardage is 164 yards for one skein can I buy just one skein per color or do I need two skeins per color?
thanks
Each skein that I used has 250 yds, and I probably only used half of each. So I think one skein of each color would be fine.
If you go to Lion Brand and read through the pattern it says that its blocked with a plate to give it that shape.
Could you link to the DPN video because it didn't seem to let me click it in the video
So, the pattern on the Lion Brand website is for a tam, but it looks like the pattern you're working with doesn't have the slouchy back. Do you have a pattern for that? Does it change anything? Also, great tutorial :)
The pattern says that they wet blocked the hat over a dinner plate once they had finished it, That should give you the slouchy back from the same pattern.
