To celebrate TOFT's 15th birthday in 2021, we revisited and perfected some of our most iconic and favourite designs from the previous decade and a half. These patterns helped shape TOFT into the company it is today, each one causing a twist and turn on our path to 2021 and beyond. These patterns follow our journey from the very early ready-to-wear collections through to the first creation of Edward’s Menagerie and to a brand new pattern that celebrates this year and the future.
The Koru Hat is stylish, comfy and a must have knit project from TOFT’s fashion-led range of knitted accessories. You will have originally seen this hat in 2011.
“Although hats very similar to this design had been in the TOFT range for some years, it was not until 2012 that the lovely stretchy panels of stocking stitch and reverse stocking stitch were made using our Aran yarn. This was also around the time that the TOFT alpaca pom poms really took off in popularity, and for the first time no one ever wanted to buy a hat or kit without a fluffy pom pom to go on top. The iconic and best-selling TOFT wooden buttons and the designs that they were placed upon became replaced by hats, hats and more hats. One-ball projects that are very easy to make like this were perfect for teaching knitting workshops to complete beginners. We had built a reputation in our area for knitting workshops and were already getting booked up in advance ready to open our Studio HQ doors.”
A fantastic choice for a beginner looking to expand their knitting techniques, the Koru hat is made using TOFT's pure wool range of seriously luxurious yarn spun in Yorkshire from the finest fleeces. Our pure wool yarns are versatile and can be used for most knitting and crochet patterns creating wonderful garments for adults and children, and a full range of accessories.
THIS KIT CONTAINS: 100g of TOFT's luxury ARAN pure wool in the colours of your choice.
