Alv is a Norwegian word meaning “Elf”, which is just what this sweet little winter beanie is supposed to remind you of. The fair isle pattern is simple and addicting, as well as stunningly unique. This is the perfect stash buster for Christmas knitting and would make a wonderful last minute Christmas present or winter baby shower gift!
