This Beanie is a part of The Saami collection. Fishing is a traditional livelyhood for Inari Saami people and I wanted to honour that tradition with a pattern featuring some of the common fish varieties in the region: pike, perch and rainbow trout. Nore means a school of fish in Inari Saami, so it is a very fitting name for this design!
