Band after band of Fair Isle climbs an oatmeal crown — turquoise, crimson, gold, sage, rose and grey, each stripe carrying its own motif, stars and diamonds and tiny crosses stacked one above the next. On top sits a pom flecked with every colour in the hat.
The cream ribbed brim is the quiet part. All that colour sits above the face rather than across it, which is what keeps it cheerful instead of loud.
Hand-knit one at a time, stitch by stitch — which is why no two hats wear their bands in quite the same order.
