The Fritillaria hat is the perfect introduction to intarsia knitting for those who are new to this knitting technique. It is worked flat, the simplest way to accomplish intarsia knitting, and seamed, to create a classic ribbed beanie with a geometric color-blocked twist. Worked in four colors, the Fritillaria can be a vibrant mix of hues or toned down in neutrals. The generous folded brim keeps ears warm and toasty. The springy-soft Cautiva wool is a sustainable 100% Spanish yarn that celebrates and supports small wool producers and native breeds in that region.
Find colorblocked perfection with our newest knit pattern, the Fritillaria Hat! Named for Fritillaria Meleagris or "checkered tulip", this pattern is the perfect introduction to knitting in intarsia. Featuring a deep, folded brim, flat construction, squishy 1x1 rib, and two sizes (child -16" and adult- 19"), the Fritillaria is as fun to wear as it is to knit.
