On Saturday 10 June at 2pm we will cast on the Buggiflooer Beanie – this year’s Shetland Wool Week pattern. This is a lovely Fair Isle knit, designed by Alison Rendall and can be done in as few as 2 colours or as many as 6, depending on your tastes.
The pattern can be downloaded from the Shetland Wool Week website https://www.shetlandwoolweek.com and costs £1.20 if you print it yourself, £2 plus P&P if you want a hard copy. I stock Jamieson & Smith 2 ply jumper wool in 25g balls but other wools are available if you prefer!
I strongly recommend that you read the pattern before you start, as we think it might be a good idea to colour in the charts with the colours you have chosen to make it easier for you to read as you are knitting. The hat is knitted in the round on 40cm circular needles or double pointed needles if you prefer.
I look forward to seeing you on 8 June.
A couple of people have said that they want to join in online – if you are interested, send me your email addresses (info@venetiasyarnshop.com) and I will set up a Zoom meeting so that you can be part of the cast on!
