Product Details

The Baa-ble Hat by the talented Donna Smith was the official pattern for Shetland Wool Week 2015 and is the perfect beginner Colorwork and Fair Isle knit. Designed specifically for the durable and cozy Jamieson's of Shetland Heather Aran, this cold-weather knit is kitted with 4 colors of the 100% Shetland Wool Yarn. You will need to knit at a fairly tight gauge on US6 and US7 size needles to complete this perfect introduction to Shetland knitting techniques.

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 months. The strong Shetland wind blowing through the hillsides is blocked out with this tightly knit, cozy hat.

Try her matching Baa-ble Cowl and Mitts Kit to complete the entire set.
