Where I live, when crocuses start to emerge from their wintry blankets of soil, it's a sure sign that spring is finally on its way.

Even if snow still covers the ground where you live, create your own springtime blossoms to adorn your little one. A fair isle band of tulips adds a welcome touch of color and cheerfulness, when it’s still too cold for sunsuits.

This hat is knitted using dk weight yarn in the traditional Fair Isle technique.
