For Shetland Wool Week 2020, designer Wilma Malcolmson crafted Katie's Kep in honor of her mother, Katie, who taught her the art of contrast and blending. Renowned for her skillfully blended Fair Isle knitwear and innovative designs, Wilma Malcolmson's creation shines! This hat features vibrant colors that celebrate both old and new traditional patterns and techniques, promising a long - lasting wool colorwork cap. If you fancy a different color scheme, use Jimmy's Sketchbook with the given yarn amounts and sizing to make a one - of - a - kind piece. Details: Designed by Wilma Malcolmson. Pattern available on the designer's Ravelry page. Size: One. Finished circumference: 22'. You'll need a set of 3 or more US 3 (3.25mm) DPNs or circular needles long enough for magic loop. Also, get stitch markers and a tapestry needle. We suggest using Shetland Spindrift yarn: 2 skeins of yarn A and one skein each of Yarns B, C, D, and E.
