Fruity Knitting Tutorial - The Baa-ble Hat

Interview with the Baa-ble Hat designer Donna Smith: https://youtu.be/3nqdISSmn_Q This Tutorial will take you step by step through the construction of the hat, including showing you how to knit with the two handed fair isle techique and how to catch your floats and weave in the ends as you go. If you are confident with knitting in the round and would like to try two handed fair isle or stranded knitting then this is really the perfect pattern to learn this and I want to encourage you to follow along with me. This is now a paid pattern. Please support the designer Donna Smith by purchasing the pattern here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/baa-ble-hat Donna recently released a matching cowl and mitts!!
