Originally designed using Savannah the Norie Hat is featured in the Shetland Trader, Book 1 by Gudrun Johnston, a collection of ten patterns all inspired by the gorgeous Shetland Islands about seventy five miles from the Antarctic.
Melanie2‘s Norie Hat made out of the gorgeous Acadia in Summersweet is a perfect version of this beautiful design. The combination of lace and garter in the hat lends itself to the subtle tweed specs featured in the Acadia, and the slouch is both stylish and warm.
Beautiful work, Melanie!
Ahh it’s absolutely lovely!
I am knitting mine in Persimmon (Savannah) and just love the feel of it….I love this one too….
