My Shetland Adventure

My Shetland Adventure was inspired by an unforgettable trip to the beautiful Shetland Islands in September 2015. During my visit, I was captivated by the intricate hap shawls and delicate lacework, as well as the exquisite textures of Jamieson’s Spindrift and Jamieson & Smith 2-ply sweater yarns. This inspiring experience led me to create a shawl that embodies the essence of Shetland's rich knitting heritage. The natural shades of Shetland sheep, combined with the elegant double layers of the shawl’s border, are designed to create a stunning visual effect. The shawl, worked at a loose gauge, achieves a delightful airiness, making it both lightweight and warm, perfect for the often chilly Shetland weather. This pattern is ideal for knitters looking to explore the beauty of traditional Shetland designs while enjoying the rich textures and colors of high-quality yarns. Embrace the spirit of Shetland in your own knitting projects with this enchanting shawl pattern!
