The official 2025 Shetland Wool Week knitting pattern the ‘Aal Ower Toorie’ has been exclusively designed by the Shetland Guild of Spinners, Knitters, Weavers and Dyers as the SWW Patrons for 2025.
Knit the hat in any of the suggested colour variations, or come up with your own colour scheme.
A special SWW Knit-A-Long has been created for the Aal Ower Toorie on facebook. We would love everyone to join in and share your works in progress, colour schemes, questions and photos – join the Knit-A-Long Group.
The hat pattern is available for £2 as a digital download or order a printed copy for £4 +p&p. All proceeds from the sale of this pattern will help to secure the future of the SWW event which is so important to Shetlanders and visitors.

An important message from the Shetland Wool Week team
We are asking this year if you might be willing to make a voluntary donation in support of the event. Shetland Wool Week is run by a small charity, the Shetland Amenity Trust, and like so many others we are facing challenging and uncertain times. Any support – large or small – is gratefully received and will help us to secure the future of an event which is so important to Shetland and its visitors..
