DAVVI HAT
Sámi for North
This design was inspired by shapes found in traditional Sámi clothing, woven belts in particular, as well as the natural chevron shape of trees in the forest and the peaks of mountains. It features a combination of twisted stitches and colourwork knitting to create a quilted effect. Coordinates with the Davvi Mitts for a matching set.
20% of each purchased pattern will be donated to the Shetland MRI Scanner Appeal to help Shetland purchase an MRI scanner. You can find out more about the appeal here: https://shetlandmriscannerappeal.com
