Snúru

Introducing the Snúru Hat, inspired by the stunning landscapes of Iceland! In Icelandic, "snúru" means cable, and this unique hat design features exquisite twisted cable stitches that seamlessly flow into a beautiful star-shaped crown. Fascinatingly, the first settlers of Iceland navigated to this breathtaking island using only the sun and stars, which adds a special touch to the story behind our Snúru Hat.

This knitting pattern offers both charted and written instructions to cater to all knitting preferences—whether you're a visual learner or enjoy a classic written guide. Designed to fit head sizes 22-24 inches for a relaxed beanie style, you have the option to drop a needle size for a smaller and snugger fit if desired. And don’t forget, adding a pompom on top is a fantastic finishing touch—because let's be honest, pompoms rock!

The sample hat was beautifully knit using Dublin Dye DK yarn, known for its luxurious feel and vibrant colors. For those looking for alternatives, a substitute yarn is listed below, allowing you to customize your Snúru Hat according to your preferences.

Whether you are an experienced knitter or just starting out and looking for an engaging project, the Snúru Hat pattern is perfect for creating a cozy and stylish accessory that showcases your skills. Get ready to impress your friends and family with this delightful knit that not only keeps you warm but also tells the tale of Icelandic heritage.
