21st of March, 25th April and 9th May 10am-1pm
Over three sessions we will look at aspects to design and knit your own Fair Isle hat. You will choose the Fair Isle patterns (charts) you wish to use and how to adapt them. We will be knitting in the natural colours of the Shetland Sheep and creating colour sequencing before embarking on knitting the rib, the body, then the crown.
