Growing up in Shetland, you'll often spot two iconic roadside scenes: Shetland sheep and fishing boats. Designer Oliver Henry, also known as 'The Wool Man,' was inspired by these sights to create the Roadside Beanie. With 50 years of sheep - related work and inspiration, Henry knew sheep had to be part of this gorgeous color - work cap's design. This beanie showcases 7 different hues from Jamieson's wide range of colorways. If you want a unique color combination, use Jimmy's Sketchbook with the given yarn amounts and sizing. Designed by Oliver Henry, the pattern is available on the designer's Ravelry page. It's one - size with a finished circumference of 523' and a length from crown to brim of 9'. You'll need one set of US 1.5 (2.5mm) DPNs and one set of 3.0mm DPNs (not included), plus notions like stitch markers and a tapestry needle. We recommend using Shetland Spindrift yarn, one skein of each of seven different colorways.

To use this Jamieson's of Shetland Roadside Beanie Kit, first, gather the required needles and notions like stitch markers and a tapestry needle. Find the pattern on Oliver Henry's Ravelry page. Start knitting following the pattern instructions using the Shetland Spindrift yarn. If you want a different colorway, use Jimmy's Sketchbook and the provided yarn amounts and sizing. When knitting, be careful with your stitches and use the stitch markers to keep track. After finishing your beanie, use the tapestry needle to weave in the ends. For maintenance, hand - wash your beanie in cool water and lay it flat to dry to keep its shape.
