Inspired by vintage Shetland berets, this design combines traditional colourwork with a classic silhouette. Diamond shading and peerie motifs decorate the body, while the crown is finished with a star motif, a hallmark of Fair Isle knitting, for a timeless look that celebrates the beauty of stranded design.
