Seahawks Hat, Part 1

Do you know what's great? Fair Isle Knitting. If I had known how much I love this, I'd have picked it  up years ago. 

See this? This is the beginning of a Seahawks hat, knitted in about 4 hours. There's the complexity of cabling with the color variation of intarsia without the hassle of a cable needle and bobbins.


Even using a color chart for the first time was simple - read right to left and knit the right color. Much easier than I thought possible.



The only reason this hat wasn't done in a week is because I'm missing size 7 DPN and my local yarn store was out of stock. Once those get ordered, I'm finishing this hat and making another copy.
