- Shetland Wool Week 2023 Patron shows her Buggiflooer Beanie hat.
🧶Shetland born and bred, Alison grew up in the early 1970s surrounded by knitters in pre-oil industry Shetland. She was deeply influenced by the designs and colours of her Nan’s knitting, and has never forgotten the Fair Isle allover and yoke jumpers her mother made for her each year. She learned to knit when very young, and progressed to Fair Isle knitting at school when she was just eight years old.
🌺Alison’s hat is a distinctive design that incorporates traditional elements together with a flower motif. She chose the name Buggiflooer - a Shetland name for Sea Campion - which grows in abundance near her home by the sea.
🔸”I like to support Shetland language and culture by using Shetland words in my designs. This practice helps keep them alive in both usage and understanding, bringing them back into the forefront of people’s minds.”
🔸The Buggiflooer Beanie is available in five different colourways using Shetland yarn from:
Jamiesons of Shetland
Jamieson & Smith Shetland Wool Brokers
Uradale Farm (Uradale Yarns)
Laxdale Yarn
Aister 'oo'
Lovely!! Just ordered this as a kit from our Jamieson Wool supplier - can't wait to make this Thank you so much!
I think that’ll be a “must knit “ 🧶
So many gorgeous combos!
Oh my..look at all those flooyies ❤❤❤
Beautiful. I just bought the pattern the other day. So many options, I know I will enjoy knitting several. Thank you for the beautiful pattern.
I love the Uradale colour palette! They all look great but something about the Uradale colours this year is so complimentary to the pattern in my eyes.
Update 5 days after my original post here: I've run out of yarn A just before the end of round 9 of chart E. Fortunately, I'd ordered another ball for some other small projects, so the beanie can be finished without any delays.
I'm wondering is this is actually a confession that I'm not very good at Fair Isle knitting as a more expert knitter would get the hat out of the one ball. Or, alternatively, does this mean that the length of wool in a ball is a bit variable?
❤❤❤ Love this video, well done. Such a beautiful design. I was hoping to hear you pronounce it! But I’ll stick with the way it’s spelled and assume phonetics. Thanks.
I'm just about to begin row 17 of chart C. My wool arrived on Wednesday (EDIT: today is Sunday, so 4 days later, for anyone reading this in the future) - it takes a long time to get to Australia, I ordered it as soon as the pattern came out. The pattern is easy to follow and this is the first time I've ever knitted a beanie.
I love the design, it was exactly the sort I was hoping for.
