As soon as the weather turned the least bit cool in Autumn, even before the leaves started to turn and drop to the ground, Anushka donned one of her many furry hats. She loved the delicious softness on the inside, the poof of the fur around her face, the hand-knitted crown, the way the warmth spread through her even on the coolest mornings, the windiest days, the bitterest nights. Even late into the Spring, when the crocuses had pushed their way through the loamy soil and tulip leaves were starting to taunt her with the promise of blossoms still weeks away, she wore her hats. And so, that is how these hats came to be called Anushka hats.

Sold for a limited time during the Fall and Winter months, the Anushka Hat are made in furs so soft and delicious you might have trouble believing they are human creations. They can only be purchased in a complete kit.

These nearly no-sew, easy knitting projects that can be fit to the perfect size and are ideal for women, teens, children, or men. On children and teens, they are whimsical and fun. Fashion forward, elegant, and practical on the ladies. No matter the wearer, the circumstances, or the weather, these hats are a pleasure to wear and will keep you warm on the coldest of days.
