I have been a knitter for many years, but have never tried Fair Isle. Was on my list to try this year, and my first project was s a grand success. Thank you for awesome instructions and video.

[@ILOVE_DEFT0NES]

Oh, my goodness! Thank you for this wonderful tutorial on beginner fair isle! I have not done this style of knitting but after watching your video, I know I can do it! I can't wait to start tomorrow!

[@kellopapaya661]

Best tutorial on faire isle knitting. Every tutorial goes so fast and not clear. You do it perfectly. Thank you. Now I think i can finally take a try at kitting faire isle.

[@ILOVE_DEFT0NES]

I did it! I made this hat! Thank you Danii!! I just love your technique and teaching style!

[@margaret5471]

Thank you for sharing this pattern. I made two hats for now. For the first one I made 44 stiches and used 9 mm needles. The hat turned out to be small.. like for a toddler. So for the second one I took 10 mm needles and made 48 stiches. Now it's my size. (for a woman).

[@trudysaunders6686]

Thank you for this. That is what I plan to do! 🤗

[@popcornpizzapie1]

May I ask the width of your head for reference?

[@margaret5471]

Honestly, now I've made a few of the beanies. Later I started to knit not that tight and now 44 stiches with 9 mm is fine as well.

[@reneejohnson4361]

Hello Dani, this is my first time knitting this Special and Beautiful Design and I Love it! I wanted to make myself a Hat with Tiny Hearts on it for my birthday coming up on Valentine's Day and Thanks to you I'm almost done with it. 🥰😊🥰😊 Thank you so Much for a Great Tutorial and Hat Design!

[@barbaracano78]

Thanks easy to follow and I could finally see how the two yarns stay separate so they don't get tangled and the tension I just left loose.

[@dissaprovingrabbits]

Such an easy to follow pattern, thank you :) I cast on 48 stitches so it would be a little bigger :)

Hi, This is such a lovely pattern. Please can you tell me how can I make it smaller to fit a child of 4 years old?

[@rochelleme83]

Could you do this on magic loop method? I don't have a small enough cord for my needles

[@CJDesignblog]

Yes you can!

Could u give patterns for baby, toddlers and kids sizes on u r hats please?

[@thecraftsalonstudio5205]

This is a fantastic tutorial. Thank you!

[@debbienorvell1707]

Another question.I am not using the Lion brand yarn but it is the same #6 and I am having a terrible time in getting it to fit nicely across my circular needle. Going into 1st st the yarn all across the needle is so stretched. Could this be because of using a different brand yarn?

[@lyndas1842]

So can i ask what the stitch count needs to be (in multiples of) if using a smaller hook, thinner yarn?

[@angelawang5898]

This is a beautiful beanie! How much white yarn did you use per hat? (half a ball, less/more than half a ball...) Thank you for sharing this pattern!

[@CJDesignblog]

Less than half, it’s literally nothing, if I can guess I would say 5 meters of yarn 💕

[@kimqualls8910]

Hi! I just wondered. If I use hue and me for this, a size 5 yarn, how many stitches? By the way, thankyou for all the videos

[@kimqualls8910]

66

Please tell me , drop the white? Or carry it across,? I didn't see you carry now I want to do second row of tiny hearts but.. white is at the top other end.??

[@alexsmom1126]

Love the video. Very easy to follow along. I wanted to ask a question as a beginner in knitting, is this hat for a baby, toddler or adult? I'm looking for 0-3 months and was just curious. If this is for an adult , do you just change the needle size or how many stitches away the beginning. Beautiful hats!!!!!

[@gerrymontgomery7118]

@CJ Design what are the multiple of. You said 44 . If I do 46 will it still work or do I have to do 48?

[@ticatacatic]

Not sure if you found out in the end, but the length of then circular needles was 16 inches (41cm)

[@jillianharding6776]

It’s quite tight. Awesome tutorial but it is a very small fit. I will try a different amount of cast on stitches and report back to see what amount worked.

[@elmondo-s1e]

It’s been almost a year. You got an update bruh?

[@debbienorvell1707]

At 14:49 you are showing both tails of the yarn at the right. I cast on and have the beginning cast on on the left side and the end on the right which is the ball of yarn. How is it that your both tails are on the right side? I know you are busy but please I need an answer. Thank you

How do you make the Pom Pom?

[@debbienorvell1707]

Would a size 10.5 work with 40sts for a lady's head at 20". I tried your 13" needles with its 44 sts and it is WAY too big

[@shahilagh]

3 green 1 white all green 1 green 1 white 3 green 1 white

[@ronniedickes]

Dani I! I’m sorry. There was a round when you knitted only one of each color and then continued with the three plus one. My hearts were not evenly spaced on my hat because I did this but only once. Do I use this one of each technique on every third row?

[@CJDesignblog]

Yes! So one row will be knit 3 of the main colour and then 1 white. The next would be: knit 1 of the main colour, 1 white, then 3 of the main colour and so on :)

[@nicolelee3847]

[@madelinemckenzie7953]

How many would you cast on for 10 mm needles? Your patterns are beautiful by the way!

[@barbararickman8543]

Experiment. Or you can also, calculate the stitch gauge from what is on the ball band. If your stitch gauge is, say, 6 stitches to 1 inch and you measure the head of the person you are knitting for, then use that 6 stitches to 1 inch and calculate. Head is 16 inches around as an example. 6 x 16 is your cast on for the brim. Also, do a gauge swatch. Knit with the needles and yarn you want to use. Count the stitches per inch in the gauge swatch. Swatch should be 25 stitches and at least 4 to 5 inches wide.

Hello, I'm Not sure about how much to use in Yards but I would start off with 2 Skeins of 100 Grams of a Super Bulky Yarn, like Lion Brand Wool Ease 1, for your main color (Your Choice of Color & Bulky Yarn) and 1 for your Tiny heart color. That's what I'm using for my hat. You can also look on her Website for the Pattern/ Materials to use. 😊

[@stephanied4591]

You don't say the length of the round needles which is also important, having gone and purchased 9mm round needles at the store and casting on 44 stitches only to find myself with a 29in round needle set and the stitches not coming up to the other side like it did for you. Did not know, could possibly use to make a infinity scarf to practice the kneading stitches but was looking to make a hat, oops.

[@STSbestfriends]

Knitting a hat uses 16 inch circular needles. OR you can use a longer circular needle and lesrn the magic loop. But like 99% of all patterns for knitting an adult sized hat requires 16 inch circular needles........

[@stephanied4591]

@@STSbestfriends My local store only sells the longer sets, so I made due and just pulled the needle string through for hats. I made three of these before moving to other projects. This hat was the first thing I've ever knitted....as a complete novice you can't expect I'd know that till after I started. Thanks for your reply though!!!!
