Skogur is part of my Icelandic Trio Bundle. Buy this, Hanski mitts and Skreppa cowl for $12. Automatically reduced in cart.

Skógur is the Icelandic word for forest.
This fun little hat has a sister cowl, Skreppa (meaning to “take off for a little while”), and a pair of fingerless and full mittens, Hanski (meaning glove). Now you can match up all of your Icelandic inspired accessories.

Skógur starts with a simple 1 x 1 ribbed brim holding two strands of yarns together, before the two colour, in-the-round brioche takes you to the forest. It’s knit using the super light and super warm, Icelandic Einrúm E+2 yarn.

There are several video tutorials included with this pattern to help you work through the various brioche stitches. If you’ve enjoyed your brioche increases and decreases with Skreppa, you’re completely ready for this!
