From the website:

The Latvian Hat was inspired by the beautiful and intricate patterns on Latvian mittens. Historically Latvian mittens were a form of currency and each region was proud of their own designs. Here I have used the bold pattern along with autumnal colours to make a warm cosy but smart hat for both hims and hers.

It is knitted up quickly so will be ready for you to pop on when the weather turns.
