I knitted this hat a few weeks ago. It wasn’t for me, it was a request from a friend. I knitted it using local wool, grown by the Lleyn and Jacob sheep of my local biodynamic farm.
You may vaguely remember reading me talking about this hat around here before – in blog posts like this one – back when I was in the middle of knitting it.
I also made a little book to go with it, telling the story of this hat, from Fields… to Head!
Here it is:
This hat is called Thrift Hat, it was hand-knitted by me, following the pattern of Shetlander knitwear designer Outi Kater. Check her Ravelry designer page to discover more of her gorgeous fair isle designs!

Thank you very much!
The hat is stunning. I love it. I think the book showing its creation is a wonderful idea and so very thoughtful of you.
Thank you Laura… well you can’t go wrong with Shetland knits ;)
What a super idea! It makes an already thoughtful gift even more special… Your friend is so lucky 😀
