Alba

This pattern is available to purchase from Ravelry

A modern classic: Alba, by Melissa LaBarre, is a sweet and simple Fair Isle hat in three shades of fingering-weight Finch. Make it your own by choosing bold contrasting shades for the brim and crown stripes, or keep it subtle with muted tone-on-tone colors. We love the soft, mouthwatering colors Melissa chose for the hat photographed.
