Shetland wool blog

Here we are in the middle of January.....time is getting away from me again ! you must have seen these 'messy bun hats' doing the rounds on the internet. I already sold 2 & i don't even have the pattern down on paper, Lucky for me, my customer is willing to wait so i thought it would be perfect timing to knit these over January & February. I really like the look of the crochet hat above(not my image) i found it on Google !  The stitch & texture looks gorgeous. I don't do crochet so I will try to find a similar knit stitch pattern from my stitch bible & include the pattern here.

The winner of the neck warmer is 'Mindy Whitten' i love the generous size of this new style & now has 3 buttons, the neck warmer is just so soft ! Messy Bun hat...... Have you seen these bun hats. My daughter sent me an image & asked me to make a few of these ! So far the one's i have looked at online are all Crochet but these would be so easy to knit too. Check back for an update to this blog entry for my January 2017 giveaway !  Happy New Year to you all♥
