Easwas Hat Kit – Kate Davies Design in Ériu Elements DK

Wrap up in the warmth of heritage and craftsmanship with the Easwas Hat Kit. Designed by renowned knitwear designer Kate Davies, Easwas is a cosy, slouchy hat with striking geometric lines inspired by criss-crossing rafters. The name itself – “Easwas” – is a Scots term for eaves walls, evoking the traditional high shelves nestled between roof beams.

This kit pairs Kate’s timeless design with Ériu Elements DK, a 100% Irish wool that’s worsted spun for softness and strength. Carefully crafted from a blend of Bluefaced Leicester and Romney wool, it offers a luxurious next-to-skin feel and the resilience needed for everyday wear. Each skein carries the story of Ireland’s landscapes, with colours inspired by the elements of Air, Water, Fire and Earth.

Perfect for knitters who love thoughtful details and a touch of history, this project creates a hat that’s as meaningful as it is practical. With its relaxed fit and textured pattern, it’s ideal for gifting or keeping all to yourself.
