This worsted weight ‘Spooky Night Beanie” uses three colors of yarn to create a fun fair isle design that is perfect for chilly October nights. I have included written instructions for both the brim and decrease sections and a chart for the main fair isle portion. When choosing colors, I suggest using high contrasting colors to really show off the ghosts and bats. Feel free to switch up the brim colors too, purple is also a great option.
