The Arctic Cap - A Head Full of Dreams collections - RED

The Arctic Cap – RED

A Head Full of Dreams · Level: Beginner plus

A warm trapper hat with plenty of character, inspired by Nordic winters, long walks and nostalgic winter memories. The Arctic Cap combines soft mohair, cosy ear flaps and playful details in a design that keeps you warm – and stands out while it does it.

Knitted with two strands, the hat gets a full but light fabric with good insulation. Ear flaps, pompoms and decorative buttons give the design a classic winter look with a modern, bohemian signature.

A design made for cold days – whether you are in the mountains, in town or out on a winter adventure.

Warm. Playful. Adventurous.

Made for Husfliden Gjøvik. This design was made together with Husfliden Gjøvik in the spring of 2026. The sample hangs in their shop in Gjøvik, so you can see it in real life before you start.
