Fairisle

It is an unwritten rule that if you are a newbie Birkie supporter, I will knit you a fairisle hat.  I had so much fun knitting 2012 Birkie hats.  See here and here.  I had so much fun knitting designing and knitting 2013 Birkie Hats.  For Ann, I chose a true green slightly variegated yarn with a soft heathered alpaca.  For Katie, I wanted something a little quirkier and landed on a hand painted mallard ground with a minty geometric contrast.  The pom pom was especially fun to craft.  Katie is just a pom pom kind of gal.
