Product Details

The Baa-ble Hat by the talented Donna Smith was the official pattern for Shetland Wool Week 2015. It is a quick knit kitted with 4 colors of Cascade 220 yarn. You will need to knit at a fairly tight gauge on US6 and US7 size needles to complete this perfect introduction to Fair Isle and color work knitting.

The inspiration for this hat, as well as the matching cowl and mitts, came from the sheep and colors of the croft the designer lives on in Shetland during the winter. The strong Shetland wind blowing through the hillsides is blocked out with this tightly knit, cozy hat.
