Kaarna Beanie Knitting Kit
Kaarna is a cosy, textured beanie designed by Finnish knitwear designer Henna Ketonen. Inspired by the rugged bark of conifer trees, the design combines a plush surface with a simple, timeless silhouette. The name Kaarna means “bark” in Finnish, while the warm colour palette evokes the evening sunlight falling on a pine trunk.
The beanie’s distinctive texture is created using slipped stitches, with four strands of yarn held together to produce a wonderfully soft and substantial fabric. The combination of Laine x Novita 4ply and Novita Edith Silk Mohair adds warmth and a delicate halo. Kaarna is worked from the top down, making it easy to adjust the length to your preference.
This knitting kit includes the yarn needed to make your own Kaarna beanie in your chosen colourway:
- Laine x Novita 4ply yarn in the required quantity

Simply select your colour combination to receive the yarn needed for your beanie. Refer to the Details tab for more information. The sample beanie is knitted in Laine x Novita 4ply in Sandy Shoreline and Novita Edith Silk Mohair in Destiny.
