Color-work Chullo Pattern

The Color-Work Chullo pattern from the book Kitty Knits is inspired by Marcia Lewandowski’s Andean Folk Knits and this winter hat is perfect for a trip to the ski slopes or the shopping mall. The ear flaps are knit flat; then the body of the hat is knit in the round on circular and double-pointed needles. Because the hat is knit with two colors in the Fair-Isle technique, it is windproof – using two colors creates yarn floats on the inside of the hat that add thickness.
