The Bobble Hat

I'm pretty much cold-blooded in the winter and spend much of the season running from one radiator to the next, hence I'm always on the look out for wooly layers and knitted accessories in which to fight the cold without looking akin to the abominable snowman.

Enter Rosie Sugden, a very talented knitwear designer based in Scotland who makes the softest cashmere accessories that do all of the above and more. Feeling super cosy by means of the spoiling high-quality cashmere while still having a sense of nostalgic fun about them, these bobble hats were firmly cemented to my head on a recent trip home to freezing Shropshire. I normally shy away from brights but there's something really appealing about donning the brightest neon in the cold, grey English countryside.

Worn here with my Topshop Sheepskin-lined jacket (buy it about 3 sizes up from your normal size to get it right).

If you're in London, you can buy Rosie Sugden Scottish Cashmere from Matches and Liberty, as well as from her own website here.
