GÆFA
Gæfa is a hat with a design and technique typical for Iceland. The name gæfa means good luck or good ­fortune in Icelandic. The ­pattern comes in two ­different ­colour versions, one with a white or light base colour and one with a darker base colour. The hat is knit bottom up in the round with ­stranded ­knitting, with ­decreases worked into the rounds ­symmetrically.

Gæfa is knit in plötulopi, Icelandic unspun pre-yarn held double. The unspun yarn may seem fragile when knitting it, but thanks to the long fiber of the Icelandic sheep, the result is a strong and soft fabric. The ­Icelandic sheep has a wool with ­unusually long outer ­fibres with tough and water-­resistant ­qualities, ­combined with fine, soft inner fibers that ­insulate against cold ­temperatures.
