This stunning beanie features the timeless "print o’ the wave" pattern, showcasing the delicate beauty of Shetland lace even when using a heavier weight yarn. In an effort to preserve the art of Shetland lace knitting—recently recognized as an endangered craft by the Crafts Council—this beanie pattern is perfect for knitters of all levels seeking to experience a smaller-scale lace project while honing their skills in this age-old craft. While the pattern is approachable, a little concentration is required on a few rows due to the movement of the start of round marker, allowing the intricate lace design to remain perfectly aligned. Be sure to follow the comprehensive written instructions alongside the accompanying charted lace for the best results. The **Print o’ the Wave Beanie** pattern utilizes just one 50g skein of sport/light DK yarn, making it an economical and satisfying project. For your creation, I recommend using **Lalland** by Di Gilpin, made from 100% Scottish lambs wool with a generous length of 175m/50g. This high-quality yarn not only enhances the texture of the lace but also provides warmth and comfort, making the beanie a delightful addition to your winter wardrobe.
