We’ve awakened the past few mornings to frost. It has been decidedly chilly. What better time for a cosy, warm (fake) fur hat!

I absolutely love this hat. Everyone loves this hat. Even dinosaurs love this hat; this one is clearly contemplating stealing it.

I purchased the yarn from Kettle Yarn Co at the Unravel Yarn Festival in Farnham in February 2025 (blogged here). The pattern is Beanie no. 6 by My Favourite Things.

We went into London to see the Schiaparelli exhibit at the V&A (post to follow, hopefully). Emma kindly took the photos. Doug kindly took a photo of Emma taking the photos.

It is a super easy hat to knit. The boucle is folded over twice to make a triple layer, which looks like fur and feels soft and warm. Below you can see it with the boucle not yet folded, as Doug so thoughtfully modelled it. He probably should have removed his glasses first.

A frosty day, sunshine, a great hat, and the V&A. That’s my kind of day!
