Buggiflooer Beanie
The Buggiflooer Beanie pattern was originally designed as the Shetland Wool Week hat for 2023, the year I was the Patron. The design uses either six or three colours, the latter of which I hope will encourage knitters new to Fair Isle colourwork.
I would recommend using 2 ply jumper weight (2ply equivalent to 4 ply/fingering weight) 100% Shetland wool for best results, the ultimate in keeping you warm.
The pattern is one size adult but the size can be changed using larger or smaller needle sizes. Please pay particular attention to the required tension as my knitting is close. Many others have used 2.75mm needles to achieve the correct size.
Buggiflooer is the Shetland word for sea campion which, growing in abundance around the Shetland coast, is the inspiration behind this design.
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.
