Isleburgh Toories

 Had a wonderful summer vacation week in Shetland. They have an annual toorie(hat) pattern published; this year the Isleburgh Toorie. They has a knit-along group on Facebook as well. In the first hat, I did not like how the k3tog was bulky. Got advice that when I knit 3 together, knit in the back on the 3rd stitch. Together with a tug in the stitches and a press, the hat is less bulky in the decrease.

I made 2 of them, since the first one was a little small for my big head and all my hair.

Yarn was Jamieson's of Shetland in colors:

122 Granite

239 Purple Heath

273 Foxglove

123 Oxford

812 Praire
