Christine from the iKNITS YouTube channel shows you how to work up Gretchen’s Easy Tam using Heartland yarn – which, by the way, is 20% off until the end of this month.
This tutorial is great for those who may feel intimidated by fair isle knitting; Christine does a wonderful job of making the pattern and technique easy to understand. With a beautiful snowflake/star image at the center of the hat, it’s the perfect winter accessory. There are plenty of colors in Heartland for you to choose contrasting hues that best suit your tastes. I personally like the red and white combination for a striking Christmas hat.
Watch Christine’s video below and get started!

I can’t wait to start this! I’ve been wanting to but I’ve been nervous! My grandma used to make afghans with as many as 6 different colors. This video makes me feel no intimidation whatsoever! I also like that she uses the style of knitting that I grew up with. The Lys that I have used uses the continental style and I find it somewhat difficult to follow. Thanks so much for this!

I hope you do conquer fair isle with this technique! Go ahead and give it a try 🙂
