Discover the Venskab Hat: A Charming Addition to Your Knitting Collection

The Venskab Hat is the debut pattern in the enchanting Venskab Knits Collection, crafted through a unique collaboration between two passionate friends. This delightful hat showcases the exquisite, lustrous, small-batch **Leicester Longwool yarn** sourced from Hurricane Hill Farm. The collection is designed around easy yet engaging knitting patterns that incorporate rich textures inspired by traditional Danish relief-stitch designs.

This stylish hat is knitted in the round, ensuring a seamless finish. You’ll start with a broken rib brim that adds both comfort and flexibility, followed by a captivating combination of seed-stitch and slipped-stitch patterns that run through the body and culminate at the crown. These textural elements not only elevate the design but also provide an enjoyable knitting experience for crafters of all skill levels.

**Venskab**, meaning friendship in Danish, embodies the spirit of this collection. Hurricane Hill Farm, a charming small-scale heritage farm in Rhode Island, specializes in raising Leicester Longwool sheep, a rare and historic breed. Each skein of yarn is crafted with care, making it perfect for your next knitting project. The intricate motifs found in the Venskab Knits Collection draw inspiration from the beloved book “Traditional Danish Sweaters” by Vivian Høxbro. This book explores the rich history of Danish "night sweaters," known for their fabulous textured patterns and unique twisted stitches.
