This gorgeous class was one of the first Gudrun ever offered at Squam starting way back in June 2009. It was a huge success and we have decided to make it available this Spring for anyone who might have missed it then.

In this class, you will learn how to make a traditional Shetland Hap (shawl) like they do in the Shetland Islands. Not only is this beautiful heirloom shawl a great gift for a new baby, it is a marvelous introduction to Shetland lace knitting.

Together, we’ll make a mini version of the shawl and you will leave with all the skills to make your own full-sized version at home.

A copy of a hap pattern will be provided via email after class. Gudrun will also give a brief slide show explaining the history of these shawls.
