The official 2021 Shetland Wool Week knitting pattern ‘Da Crofter’s Kep’ has been exclusively designed by our patron for two years running Wilma Malcolmson.

Knit the hat in any of the suggested colour variations, or come up with your own colour scheme. A special Facebook SWWKAL has been launched for Da Crofter’s Kep. We did the same last year for Katie’s Kep and it proved extremely popular, especially during these times when we have been so physically disconnected. We would love everyone to join in and share their hat works in progress, questions and photos.

To receive the pattern all you need to do is click on the wool week website, and remember to share your pictures using
#dacrofterskep #dacrofterskepknitalong #shetlandwoolweek2021. We can’t wait to see your creations.

Or you can purchase an extended print version which includes tips from Wilma on colour blending – available to order separately for £5.
