The Book of Haps is now available

Houlland
Combining borders-in construction with a neat triangular shape, this lace weight hap features the tree motif familiarly used in Shetland knitting, and which is a particular favourite of Donna’s great auntie Emma Isbister. Emma has been knitting haps for many years, and Donna’s design is named for the croft where she grew up, on Shetland’s beautiful west side.
