Looking to kick off 2025 with a cozy and creative project? Simply Shetland has just the thing for you: the Hairst Mön Mittens Kit! After the success of her Hairst Mön Hat design, Gudrun Johnston was inspired to craft her very first mitten pattern, and we couldn’t be more excited.

A Love Letter to Shetland Winters
The Hairst Mön Mittens are a beautiful tribute to Shetland’s natural winter beauty. Designed using a beloved Fair Isle motif, these adult-sized mittens are made even cozier by using Jamieson’s DK weight yarn. The heavier yarn not only makes them warmer but also ensures they knit up quickly—perfect for those chilly winter evenings.

Inspired by Nature’s Palette
Gudrun chose a palette inspired by the natural sheep shades found in Shetland—Moorit, Mooskit, Mogit, Shaela, and Shetland Black. These earthy tones not only celebrate the beauty of nature but also provide a timeless aesthetic that’ll match any winter wardrobe.
Limited Edition Artwork & Exclusive Goodies
Adding a special touch, Gudrun’s daughter Maya created a charming limited-edition artwork for the kit’s exclusive della Q Oh Snap bag. This wintery design features adorable Shetland sheep, making the bag as delightful as the mittens themselves.
What’s Inside the Kit:
-
A pattern download card for Gudrun Johnston’s brand-new Hairst Mön Mittens pattern.
-
6 balls of Jamieson’s Double Knitting yarn in natural sheep shades.
-
A limited-edition della Q Oh Snap with Maya Durham's custom artwork.

Why You'll Love This Kit
Whether you’re a seasoned Fair Isle knitter or looking to try your hand at stranded colorwork for the first time, the Hairst Mön Mittens Kit has everything you need. The mittens knit up quickly, making them a satisfying project that’ll keep your hands warm all winter long.
