Shetland Wool Week Annual 2022 - Ristie Poncho | Rachel Hunter

- čas přidán 9. 09. 2024
- Inspired by a family holiday to the remote island of Foula, Rachel stayed at the idyllic Ristie self-catering accommodation at the north end of the isle. There she awoke every morning to see Foula sheep grazing in their array of coloured fleeces.
In her design Rachel’s used the ‘auld Shell’ lace motif and adapted it to a poncho, with small pompoms to accentuate the lace peaks instead of the more usual lace border.
Like a traditional hap, the garment is knitted on larger needles than you would ordinarily use for the yarn. This gives the fabric a light, airy, bouncy feel that will keep you warm on chilly evenings.
It’s beautiful and would work equally well in a variety of colours. Here it’s in naturally coloured yarn spun from 100% Foula Sheep Wool.
Yarn: Foula Wool in white, moorit, black, mioget and fawn.

Hello Rachel. Your hap-inspired poncho is so beautiful! What a clever and attractive way to show off this traditional lace pattern. I checked Ravelry for your pattern, but I didn't find it there. Can you tell please where I can purchase your pattern? Thank you.
Love your idea of using the sheep colors, what a beautiful poncho!
Love the poncho and already know what colors I want to use for the border.
Absolutely beautiful poncho! ❤️
