The Heathland Cap, is the fourth pattern in my ongoing collection inspired by the Secret of Roan Inish. ✨
With hints of golds and heather pinks, this design was intended to bring the flora of the heath landscapes to a knitted piece.

The Cap is knit up in fingering weight yarn on size US 4/3.5 mm needles.

It’s available in three sizes: Kids M/L, Adult S/M and Adult M/L.

The pattern offers two fit style options, a fitted cap, or a cap with extra length for a slouchy fit.

It’s constructed bottom-up, and features a two color corrugated rib brim. The design features four colors, but only two colors are in use at the same time, making it a simpler piece for those newer to colorwork. Floats remain short as well, with the longest float being 5 STS, appearing only in one round of the whole cap.

For my sample I used Shetland fingering yarn by Sarah of @gatheredsheepyarns, Not Sponsored. Her work is genuinely stunning.

Also available in this collection are the Tadhg Socks, Cliabh Socks, and Nuala Socks.
