Eira is among the chicest districts in the capitol of Finland, only a stone’s throw from the seafront and the favourite cafés of South Helsinki’s residents. A trench coat and trendy beanie are a must to combat the sea winds. The Eira hat is a doddle even for almost beginners, as no twisted stitches are involved; just good old simple ribbing. Decreasing the stitches in two directions creates its signature shape. The real twist is revealed at the end: you turn the hat inside out. Simple and stylish.
