The third in my series of fifteen Fair Isle Tams inspired by the Magnus Archives, one for each of Smirke’s fears!

I’m attaching some detail images to show some of the primary motifs of the hat! We have the hand-and-closed-eye emblem of The People’s Church of the Divine Host, the space station Daedalus, and a large dark star motif covering the top of the hat. I used some Nordic-inspired motifs in the star to pay tribute to Ny-Ålesund and the long history of stranded colorwork in traditional Norwegian knitting!
