Only 10 available The Sailor Hat is a new heirloom knit by Mad Jessie. Designed as part of a collaborative process by MJ from Mad Jessie and Caroline from Speak in Stitches over a year, this hat is something you will be handing down in years to come. Inspired by MJ's childhood in County Galway (sailing on a Galway Hooker as a three year old), her Grannies knitted jumpers, and a trip to the Shetland Islands, MJ sat down and designed her second ever knitting pattern, reminiscent of Faire Isle patterns. (Her first she did as a child with her Grannies). This hat is about family, adventure, and strength. With layers of yarn, she tells a story in this design, of a beautiful sail boat moving along the waves. With stars above to encourage you to dream, anchors to keep you grounded, and a boat on the waves so you can always keep moving forward, this piece of Irish design is very special indeed. Warm, soft, comfortable and hardy, this hat will stay with you through thick and thin. These hats are the result of a beautiful collaboration between two friends and businesswomen, MJ and Caroline. Knitted by Caroline in Waterford, after many samples and redesigns. 100% lambswool 30° machine wash Mild detergent DO NOT tumble dry Steam Iron Made in Ireland
