For this edition, four of the featured designers were invited to create patterns inspired by the seasons of Shetland. Local broadcaster and journalist Claire White accompanies each pattern with a feature exploring the season that inspired it, while also introducing the designer behind the design and offering a thoughtful glimpse into life in Shetland.

• Hairst: Röts – Autumns roots

• Yöl: Hameaboot – A Shetland Winter

• Voar: Greenin Up – The coming of Spring

• Simmer: Licht and lift – Summers light and skies.
