This fair isle design is inspired by my wonderful Granny.

When she asked me to knit her a hat, I just knew she needed something a little bit more special and so I designed her her very own collection.

This fair isle motif is knitted using soft blue tones with a hint of pink and purple coming through in some of the smaller motifs.

This design is currently available as a hat and a pair of fingerless gloves.
