Description: Kubb is a super fun outdoor game, and knitting is super fun, so the opportunity to combine the two is pure happiness! Outfit your baseline kubbs in these hats at the beginning of the game, then remove the hats when they are knocked over and become field kubbs. As the game progresses, these hats make it easy to know the status of each kubb. Plus, you’ll have the best looking game in town! Each Kubb Kep is knit in the round using stranded colorwork.
