Sail Away Beanie
“Sail away with me, What will be will be.” Inspired by the heartfelt lyrics of one of my favorite songs by the renowned artist David Gray, my Sail Away Beanie encapsulates the essence of love and adventure. This cozy hat is designed for those who cherish the journey of life, especially when it's shared with your one true love. The song reinforces the idea of embracing all that life may throw your way, regardless of the challenges faced in the past or those that lie ahead. The lines resonate deeply with our own leap of faith as we move back to Shetland after many years away.
The Sail Away Beanie features a unique pattern consisting of several bands adorned with beautifully detailed nautically inspired color work motifs. At the center of this design is a ship, artistically inspired by The Swan—a beautifully restored sailing boat that holds a significant place in Shetland's history. Originally employed for herring fishing in the early 1900s, The Swan now stands as the last of her kind, thanks to the dedicated efforts of The Swan Trust and a passionate group of volunteers. Today, she is cherished for picturesque boat trips and youth sail training excursions, symbolizing the spirit of adventure and community.
This knitting pattern is perfect for those seeking a blend of creativity and craftsmanship, allowing knitters to create a beanie that not only showcases intricate nautical themes but also tells a story of love, legacy, and dreams. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, the Sail Away Beanie will inspire you to pick up your needles and set sail on your next knitting journey!
