Sini Mini

Sini Mini is a fair isle hat that is based on the pattern found in my Sinistram sweater design. It is a fairly quick and simple knit that is worked in-the-round. There are two styles to choose from: a brimless hat and a brimmed hat with a garter stitch band. The stranding that results from the fair isle pattern makes for a warm and cozy hat; perfect for those cold, winter days.
