The Bearded Cap by Vik Prjónsdóttir

On the plane ride over I was reading the newest issue of Dwell, saw this, and was so very sad that I was on a plane and wouldn’t be able to post about it till later. I mean, how amazing is this Beard Cap? I would love to have one of those, especially being here in Boston. It’s made of wool and comes in 3 different colors and styles. I love that it covers almost your entire head, it looks sooooo warm.

It’s made by a design group called Vik Prjónsdóttir who work in Iceland and think of all sorts of ingenious ways of keeping people warm, like blankets made for two and “robes” shaped like seal pelts. Lots of weird, but fun, projects.

Update: Herman over at Doodybrain got in touch with Scandinavian Grace in Brooklyn and found out that they do carry these caps. They go for $135 a piece, and come in two different styles, long and short beard, and 4 different colors. Call or e-mail the store if you want to get one!

  7. Wow! I live in California, and probably have no need for it, but I plan on buying one anyway!!!

  8. I’m sure lots of you have Grannies or someone who knows how to knit. It could be done in your own design too. Brilliant idea this cap.

  9. Grannies? Who you callin’ grannies? Don’t you know about the hundreds of thousands of knitting blogs in the world? About the 30,000+ people already in the new online knit and crochet community, Ravelry? Sheesh! I read about this on a knitting blog.

  18. I know so many knitters that will reverse engineer this hat. The boards over at Ravelry on on fire.

  21. Needs a Fu Manchu stache ;)

    This is so fantastic, I haven’t stopped laughing.
    I looked at the Vik site too - they havea blanket wrap called a Sealpelt too - equally amusing.
    Thanks for sharing!

  24. The color, I love the color.

    Comment by ryan — December 4, 2007 #

  25. Is there a knit pattern available for this? I looked on Ravelry and couldn’t find one. My brother would love this, and if I could knit it (I’m no way a Grannie, I’m 33) that be even better.

  28. I think this hat is crocheted, not knitted. It looks that way to me. You could make it for less than $10, I would think.

  29. I think this cap is the greatest thing, I love it

    Comment by Carla — January 12, 2008 #

  30. That is a neat hat. Don’t know if I would pay $135 though. I’m a knitter and could probably make one myself.
