Shetland Wool Week 2016 pattern by Ella Gordon.
Ella writes, "I have always loved the little Crofthouse’s you see dotted all over Shetland. I am known for making cushions in the shape of traditional Crofthhouses and my 2016 Shetland Wool Week design is another use of one of my favourite motif’s, this hat is a great introduction to Shetland inspired colourwork using traditional skills and a contemporary pattern."
