Signe Strømgaard has built on a family tradition and now publishes two annual hats when fall approaches - one for kids and one for adults.

The idea is to welcome the new knitting year and to celebrate the woollen seasons to come with a fun and wearable little project.

This is the annual kids hat for 2017 - named Et Syv (One Seven in Danish), worked in traditional scandinavian colorwork patterns with a muted, contemporary look.
