Quietly confident and intentionally designed, the Vera Hat is an exploration of texture, form, and timeless style. Sculptural V-puff stitches create a soft, dimensional fabric with depth and warmth, elevating a classic beanie silhouette into a refined, understated statement. Clean lines allow the texture to take centre stage, while subtle colour play offers space for personal expression. Finished with a classic pom-pom, the Vera Hat balances elegance and everyday wearability with ease.

Originally released in 2017, the Vera Hat is a long-standing design that has been purchased, made, and worn by makers worldwide. Thoughtfully re-issued and tech edited, this updated version ensures clarity, accuracy, and sizing consistency across all sizes. Designed with negative ease, the hat offers a close, comfortable fit that relaxes slightly with wear, creating a natural, stay-put feel ideal for cooler seasons.
