Buggiflooer Fair Isle Beanie June 5 & 12
Thursday evenings, June 5 & 12
5:30 PM - 7:30 PM
Buggiflooer (pronounced boo-gee-flew-er) is the Shetland word for sea campion which, growing in abundance around the Shetland coast, is the inspiration behind this enchanting Fair Isle design.
Designer Alison Rendall, originally created the Buggiflooer Beanie pattern as the Shetland Wool Week hat for 2023. We LOVE this pattern for its true-to-Fair-Isle colorwork and as the perfect vibe for The Darling Yarn Company's beautifully plant-dyed, 100% organic merino wool.
