About Fire Shadows

Fire. It serves so many essential functions of our life. At the core, it keeps us warm, nourished, and feeling all the cosy feels. Fire Shadows is about these moments.

Designed to be gender neutral, Fire Shadows will be the perfect campfire staple for anyone.

The hat is worked from the brim to the crown beginning with a tubular cast-on for a professional touch. Inspired by the casual and laid-back feel of camping the design combines 1x1 ribbing, colorwork that keeps you busy all the way to the crown, and an optional pompom.
