SEAGULLET - Beanie

The seagullet motif was inspired by a seagull that I saw in September 2019 during a trip to Shetland. The cute bird was following me while walking on Norwick beach in Unst and I took several photos of it. When back home I drew the chart and knitted a swatch, which I left in a drawer for over 3 years. Then suddenly I resumed it refining the colour combination and ta-daaaaa, a new slightly slouchy beanie was born!
