4. Fair Isle Colorwork Hat
Fair isle colorwork isn’t just for knitters! Also called intarsia, this technique differs from tapestry crochet in that you don’t work over the other color of yarn, but instead carry it along with you behind your work. Using the waistcoat stitch instead of plain old single crochet really helps deliver a more polished finish!
