Notes

Aister’oo is a similar weight to Jamieson and Smith jumper weight or Jamieson’s of Shetland Spindrift!
Lovely wool.
Following a pattern I’ve knit before when I test knit it for the book printed by The Shetland Times Ltd a few years ago, when knitting for our first grandson George.
Quarry Baby hat and mittens set by Alice Pottinger from Fair Isle Designs by Shetland Knitters Volume 1 a lovely beginner Fair Isle pattern with little repeats and no long ‘floats’. Plus crown decreases are knit with main colour only.
I’m enjoying revisiting this little pattern as a quick and satisfying gift knit for new baby boy.

Finished knitting, now drying after a soak and rinse. I’ve to add a pom-pom tonight.
I’ll make matching mittens.

I’m now making mittens to match that go with hat pattern in book. I’m hoping I’ve enough of main colour! I will have to wait and see wink

Finished the set! Now to think about another possibly as two baby boys to knit for. But possibly a sweater instead…
