Bramble is the gentle patriarch of our flock (5 Sisters Farm). Ever since he was a baby he would stand quietly and wait for chin scratches, never pushy or rude, just a sweet solid fellow.

This is a pattern for a hat worked from the bottom up and in the round, using the stranded colourwork technique.

5 Sisters Farm is a small family farm raising Shetland sheep for over 15 years, pasture-raised with love, in the town of Plainfield, NH.
