The official 2025 Shetland Wool Week knitting pattern the ‘Aal Ower Toorie’ has been exclusively designed by the Shetland Guild of Spinners, Knitters, Weavers and Dyers as the SWW Patrons for 2025. Knit the hat in any of the suggested colour variations, or come up with your own colour scheme.

A special SWW Knit-A-Long has been created for the Aal Ower Toorie on Facebook. We would love everyone to join in and share your works in progress, colour schemes, questions and photos.

The hat pattern is available for £2.50 as a digital download or order a printed copy for £4 +p&p. All proceeds from the sale of this pattern will help to secure the future of the SWW event which is so important to Shetlanders and visitors.

Remember to share your photos with us on Instagram using #aalowertoorie

Happy knitting!
