Easy Schmeasy Tam

I've made 6 of these so far, in all different color combinations. Gave the smallest one to my niece, and her mom wore it too. I felt so accomplished, even as a beginner knitter. I'm sitting down 3 years later to make it again...wish me luck!

Hands Down, It's Heads Up!

This was a perfect project for doing fair isle work for the first time! I am over the moon with how it turned out. I used Olympic and Arctic Ice Heartland yarns which match my new royal blue coat perfectly. I found the band to be a bit loose, however, and will use a smaller size needle next time around for just the band. The yarn is so soft and that's another reason I like this project so much! I've never been disappointed with Lion Brand!

It IS easy!

I'm a true beginner and knitting this beanie was super easy although it looks complex. Everyone was quite surprised I made it but I didn't let on how simple it was. Thanks!

Awesome!

I'm a beginner and the end result made me look like a pro. One to my 2 hat. Thank you.

Great Hat

I've already made this hat 3 times and am about to make it again. It's really much simpler than it looks but very impressive. The only issue I've found is that the band ends up being a little loose so i do the band itself with size 6 needles.
