The design for the Shetland meets Bohus tam is based on the patterns used in the Shetland meets Bohus mittens. These mittens were published in Shetland wool Week Annual volume 5.
The colourwork was inspired by Bohus Stickning, a Swedish organization world-famous for its exquisite knitted garments. In this pattern, Bohus meets Shetland. The distinctive colours and soft appearance of durable Shetland wool are used to create a lively Bohus-inspired design, using just two colours per round for ease of knitting. The design is offered in two colourways.

The pattern comes in one size, but the size can be adjusted by using larger or smaller needles.
