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 using 4 colors in Shetland Aran weight yarn at a fairly tight gauge on US6 & US7 size needles, the 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. Try her matching Baa-ble Cowl and Mitts Pattern to complete the entire set.
