  Kate Davies loves hat-knitting, so Kate invited twelve friends to join her in the challenge of creating a range of hats of rich variety and hue.

  Heid is the Scots word for head, and inside these pages youll find fifteen fabulous heids to choose from.

  From Ute Voss simple stripes to Virginia Sattler-Reimers complex kaleidoscopic crown; from Felicity Fords exuberant Featherheid to Emily Williams stunning double-knitted Tarradale, the heids in these pages are as varied as their creators.

  Established designers such as Ella Gordon and Dianna Walla meet emerging talent like Justyna Haberkowa and Sarah Mackay, drawing creative inspiration from landscape and location, flora and fauna, childhood memory and medieval architecture. With an introduction by Kate, and stunning photography around Loch Lomond by Tom Barr, this book is sure to bring you a warm and happy heid.

  This book comes witha direct download link and unique download code (to allow you to access the pattern via Ravelry, if you wish).

• My name is Kate Davies. I live by Scotlands West Highland Way where I love writing, knitting walking, and swimming in the wonderful landscapes that surround me. I find that each of these activities has a creative and a critical dimension and the best of possible worlds is one in which I productively combine them all.

  Knitting is one of my greatest loves, and in 2010 (when a stroke at the age of 36 ended my academic career) I began Kate Davies Designs (KDD) creating digital patterns for hand knitters. The business lent me a platform to combine my skills in research, writing and design, and rapidly grew into a small publishing company through which I began to produce my own books.InColours of Shetland (2012), Yokes (2014),Buachaille: At Home in The Highlands (2015), The Book of Haps (2016), Shetland Oo (2016), Inspired by Islay(2017),Happit (2017), West Highland Way (2018) Shore (2018) and Milarrochy Heids (2018) I bring my passions for historical writing and practical creativity together. Nothing makes me happier than seeing knitters all over the world enjoying my books and making and wearing my designs.
