Ivor's Hat

**Shetland Wool Fair Isle Hat Pattern – Knitting with Love** This beautifully crafted hat is made using 100% pure Shetland wool, known for its warmth and durability. In this pattern, I have chosen to use Jamieson and Smith Supreme jumper weight wool (4 ply), but you have the flexibility to explore any Shetland jumper weight wools of your choice to create a unique color palette that reflects your personal style! The Shetland Supreme jumper weight wool is sourced from the resilient Shetland sheep and boasts undyed, natural colors that add a rustic charm to your knitting projects. The design features delightful Fair Isle charts combined with a corrugated style ribbing, making it an engaging project for knitters of varying skill levels. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out in the world of colorwork, this hat pattern is sure to inspire and delight. This pattern holds special meaning for me, as it is dedicated to my husband, Ivor, with whom I have shared over 30 wonderful years. He graciously modeled the hat for the picture, showcasing how stylish and cozy it looks when worn. For this project, you will need just one 50g ball of each color of wool, allowing for ample leftovers that can be used in future knitting endeavors. Please keep in mind that these yarn balls are 50g each, unlike the typical 25g balls, so you can be sure to have plenty of yarn to explore additional creative projects. Happy knitting! Enjoy crafting your own Shetland wool Fair Isle hat, and may it bring warmth and joy to you or your loved ones!
