Ballachulish Beanie is here! Corinne designed this adorable beanie and we've put together yarn sets using Jamieson's of Shetland Spindrift yarn. This cheerful beanie is oh-so-cozy and such a joy for colorwork knitters. You'll find a nice rhythm in the colorwork motifs and woolly stitches. The colorwork motifs go right to the top where there are quick decreases to make a nice little puckered top for a comfortable fit.

We've put together a few colorways using Jamieson's of Shetland Spindrift yarn, so you can choose the one that suits your fancy!

This Kit Includes:

All the yarn called for in the pattern (5 balls of Jamieson's of Shetland Spindrift; Colorway of your choice)

From Corinne: Ballachulish is from the Scottish Gaelic, Baile a' Chaolais meaning "the Village by the Narrows." For centuries, ferry boats traveled back and forth across the waters of Loch Leven and Loch Linnhe, not far from Glencoe in Scotland. One such ferry was named for the town it served, Ballachulish, and I have very fond memories of being a wee tot and going over the water on the ferry with my Dad. A bridge now traverses the Ballachulish Narrows where the ferry once sailed and this wee Beanie is named after the ferry at Ballachulish.
