Katie Fair Isle Beanie

My latest pattern is finally ready to publish.

After a second test knit and some dithering about what to name it I’m pleased to present the Katie Fair Isle Beanie.

You may remember back in November 2013, I asked readers to suggest a name for this pattern and offered a free copy for anyone who submitted an idea.

Even after doing this I couldn’t settle on a name, so I’ve named it after Kate, the first person who suggested a name.

It’s been through two thorough test-knits and is now available on Ravelry. Those who commented in November will receive an email with a code that will allow them to download a free copy.
