Maru Hat Kit | Aleks Byrd

Aleks Byrd's book Traditions Revisited: Modern Estonian Knits is full of inspiration! We have been reaching to the shelves to find the perfect yarn for each pattern and getting excited about yarn combinations and colour schemes.

When it came to the Maru Hat, it was clear that  Polwarth DK from Ballyhoura Fibres would be the perfect match. If you would like to dive in to your first Estonian project as soon as your book arrives, then we highly recommend starting with this beautiful hat that features the "Vikkel" technique. The brim features ribbing with a centred twisted stitch vikkel pattern that extends into a strip up the body of the hat to the end of the crown shaping.

Choose your favourite shade of Polwarth DK  for your own Maru Hat above.

The book is included by default, but you can opt to receive the yarn by itself (if you already have your own copy of the book).
