sumburgh head

Inspired by one of the best places to spot Shetland’s summer visitors, Sumburgh head is a hat that features the headland and lighthouse at Sumburgh as well as a puffin (of course!) There are options for two sizes, a double or single thickness ribbed brim, and a pompom on top. The colourwork is knit in two colours only with the accent details duplicate stitched on afterwards.

This is a knitting pattern for sale, not a finished object.

materials
4ply/jumperweight yarn - something woolly works best
MC: 170-200m | CC: 90-115m | AC: 10-20m (+ extra for a pompom!)
sample is made in Jamieson & Smith 2ply jumperweight
(MC light grey, CC black, AC copper)

sizing/gauge
approx 28 st and 32 rows per 10cm in colourwork
medium adult to fit a 56cm/22” (large adult to fit a 63cm/25”) head circumference
If you like a particularly long hat (either for slouch or because of your head size) there is advice given on lengthening the hat in the modifications section.

This pattern can be bought on its own, or as part of the puffinry e-book bundle
