Welcome, Tulips! is a cheerful goodbye winter/hello spring hat that showcases the naturally dyed shades of Bloom’s worsted weight wool/alpaca blend, Yearling.  With a clean, modern tulip motif and straightforward design this hat will knit up quickly.  Like traditional Fair Isle patterns, Welcome, Tulips uses only two colors per row making this project a great introduction to colorwork.
