Bousta Beanie
Immerse yourself in the stunning beauty of Shetland with our Bousta Beanie knitting pattern. The vibrant landscape, characterized by the deep blues of the sea, the lush mossy greens and earthy browns of the hills, and the vivid bursts of wildflowers and heather during the summer months, serves as a constant source of inspiration. Whether you're taking a leisurely stroll through the countryside or enjoying the crisp air during a brisk walk, the rich palette of Shetland's colours captivates every nature lover. This love for the landscape is echoed in my choice of a cozy, slouchy style hat that can be pulled down over your ears to keep you warm on those chilly, windy days!
The Bousta Beanie uniquely combines three delightful colors through a simple yet effective Fair Isle pattern, celebrating the exquisite variety of shades available in Shetland yarn. With such an extensive array of colours at your fingertips, your creative possibilities are truly endless! You'll find that the rendering of your own personal touch can lead to beautifully distinct results.
