Gudrun designed the Fidra hat in 2015 while living in Edinburgh, Scotland. At first, she wasn't satisfied with the crown shaping and almost didn't publish the pattern. But after some adjustments, she released it, and it's become one of her most popular designs. Every hat - making season, many knitters choose this pattern. She decided to create another version for her accessory collection, using Jamieson’s of Shetland Heather Aran paired with Yarn Citizen Trinity Cashmere. The outcome is a soft, beautifully textured fabric that can protect you from the cold in New England. This kit includes 2 balls of Jamieson’s Heather Aran in Mooskit and 1 ball of Yarn Citizen Trinity in Almond. Purchase the hat pattern here!

Using this Fidra Hat Knitting Kit is easy. First, grab your knitting needles and follow the pattern included with your purchase. Start by casting on the required number of stitches using the Jamieson’s Heather Aran and Yarn Citizen Trinity Cashmere together. As you knit, you'll notice the lovely texture forming. When you're done knitting, weave in the loose ends carefully. For maintenance, it's best to hand - wash this hat in cool water with a gentle wool detergent. Lay it flat to dry to keep its shape. Avoid wringing or twisting the hat, as this can damage the fibers. Enjoy wearing your cozy, handmade Fidra hat!
