Kaleyard Beanie

Introducing the Growing Local Northmavine Beanie knitting pattern, dedicated to supporting a vital local initiative in Shetland. This project encourages community members and local groups to cultivate their own produce, effectively reducing food miles while enhancing overall wellbeing. The design of this beanie draws inspiration from the logo of the former Shetland Kale Growers Network, which has now become part of the transformative Growing Local initiative. Additionally, the color palette reflects the vibrant hues of the kale thriving in my own garden—perfect for those chilly days spent nurturing your plants! As gardening in Shetland often calls for a cozy beanie, this pattern is both functional and meaningful. Importantly, all proceeds from the sale of this knitting pattern will be directed towards supporting Growing Local Northmavine, making this more than just a project—it's a community movement.
