This stunning hap is constructed from the inside out, beginning with a central square knitted diagonally in a back-and-forth technique. Building upon this foundation, the border is created using the enchanting Old Shale stitch pattern, forming a wavy edge knitted in the round. To complete the design, a mini version of the traditional peaked edging is added, positioned perpendicular to the border for a striking finish. It's important to note that this hap requires blocking to achieve its final, beautiful shape.

This comprehensive pattern includes both written and charted instructions to cater to all learning styles, along with high-quality photographs, invaluable tips, and links to helpful video tutorials. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting your journey, you’ll find everything you need to guide you through this delightful project.

Embrace the joy of knitting and the warmth of tradition as you create your very own Old Shale Shetland Hap. Happy stitching! ~ Cathliin
