The North Sea
Named for the picturesque sea situated between Shetland and the enchanting Norwegian coast, this stunning hat pattern beautifully celebrates the rich and shared heritage between the beloved knitting traditions of Norway and Shetland. The design incorporates five vibrant colors, yet the ingenious pattern technique ensures that no more than two colors are used in any given round. This makes it not only visually striking but also accessible for knitters of all skill levels. Additionally, the small amounts of each color required make this project a fantastic stash-buster, allowing you to repurpose leftover yarn from previous projects.
The finished circumference of this charming hat is 20” / 51 cm, making it a cozy accessory suited for any chilly occasion. Whether you are looking to keep warm in winter or want a stylish addition to your wardrobe, this hat is a versatile piece that is sure to impress.
For this project, we recommend using Brooklyn Tweed Shelter yarn, a delightful blend made from 100% Targhee-Columbia wool. Each skein offers approximately 140 yards, making it both a practical and high-quality choice for your knitting needs.
