Also known as Prinsessen på ærten - vinter.

Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale about the Princess on the Pea has been the inspiration for this hat.
Pleats and patterns represent mattresses and sheets and of course there is a pea at the bottom of the pile. The one pea that the princess could feel through all the layers!

Prinsessen på ærten – Vinter
Eventyret om prinsessen på ærten har givet mig ideen til denne hue.
Biser og mønsterstrik skal minde om madrasser og lagner og selvfølgelig ligger der en ært nederst i bunken, som prinsessen i hvert fald kunne mærke!

Garn:
Spindrift, 100% ren Shetlandsk uld fra Jamieson’s of Shetland.
