Shetland Trader Norie PDF

This pattern is a downloadable PDF file.

The wind in Shetland has a lively, mischievous personality all its own. Regardless of the season, having a hat to keep ears protected and hair from flying around is a must. This slouchy beanie features bands of the sweet “Cat’s Paw” lace (they really look like little paws) accented with garter stitch ridges. A quick knit with a wee bit of lace!
