This is a re-creation of a 17th-century piece from Shetland. The author spun one ounce each of three colors of North Ronaldsay fiber to make her yarn, which came out 15-16 wpi.

The cast-on is unusual; a knit cast on combined with crocheted chains to make drawstring loops.

Finished size: 7.25in (18cm) long + 1.5in (4cm) fringe; 12in (30cm) circumference; 30in (76cm) long cord
