Urnes Hat
The Urnes Hat draws inspiration from the intricate and mesmerizing motifs found in Viking carvings, specifically in the Urnes style. The use of brioche cables in the design doesn’t just add warmth; it knits a story of Northern heritage, like a protective shield against the chill of the North Sea breeze. What truly sets this hat apart is the clever twist in its construction. The shift in knitting direction from the brim to the body creates a distinctive style that echoes the paneling techniques seen in timeless Viking carvings. It’s like wearing a piece of history on your head, a modern ode to ancient artistry.
