Ella has always loved the little Crofthouses you see dotted all over Shetland. She is known for making cushions in the shape of traditional Crofthhouses and her 2016 Shetland Wool Week design is another use of one of her
favourite motifs, this hat is a great introduction to Shetland inspired colourwork using traditional skills and a contemporary pattern.
