ALPINE HAT
Traditional Fair Isle patterns adorn this warm and cozy hat for alpine sking, snowboarding or walking about the big city. Choose to knit with either solid color yarns, or use a variegated or hand-painted yarn for the contrasting color. The twocolor stranded color stockinette provides additional warmth as well as decoration.

FINISHING
After completing the 22 rounds of CHART or Pattern #5, you will have 5 stitches. Next round: k2tog, $k3=4$ sts. Continuing with Contrasting Color (or $2^{\mathsf{n d}}$ Contrasting Colorif desired) work $1\,\%^{\prime\prime}$ of l-cord (see instructions below). Break yarn leaving an $8^{\prime\prime}$ tail. Thread tail through remaining stitches and secure. Tie I-cord into a knot.
I-Cord
Slip the 4 remaining stitches all onto one double point needle. With right side of fabric facing you and the working yarn hanging from the last stitch on the left, adjust the 4 stitches over to the usual righthand side of the needle and with another double point needle knit. DO NOT TURN. Slide the 4 stitches over to the usual right-hand side of this needle and knit. Tug firmly on the first stitch of each row as you knit. The yarn will get pulled around back from the far left each row over to knit the first stitch. It willook like a long stand at first, but when you are done, give the cord a few stretches and tugs and the stitches will even out. Weave in ends, Block. Enjoy!
