Joulukuu Hat
Joulukuu is the month of December in Finnish. Fair isle always reminds me of colder climates and cozy hats. This is a simple to follow fair isle hat worked in the round.

Sizes
The brim is slightly smaller than the hat’s body circumference so it fits smoothly on your head. If you prefer a slouchier, less fitted hat, choose a size larger than your actual head circumference.
