Do you actually need a chunky woollen brioche hat in the middle of summer? Sure you do. Like when your Finnish friend takes you for a swim in the ice-cold lake. Some Finns make a point in taking the year’s first outdoor bath as early as possible, and frankly, the waters rarely feel warm before July. So while your butt may be freezing off, your head will stay warm with this beanie. Adjust the length so you can double-fold or triple-fold the rim as you wish.
