Esme | Handmade Woodland Hat

The Esme Hat is a whimsical beret with a gentle slouch and a tiny acorn top — perfect for slipping on quickly, though you may never want to take it off! Hand-crocheted in soft “Summer Cloud” wool, each piece is unique, with many one-of-a-kind colourways: plain, colour-block, or partially striped.
Designed for a comfortable, stay-on fit, the slouch can be arranged to the side for a relaxed, nonchalant gnome look.
Details:
- Adult fit, soft structured shape
- Yarns: 100% acrylic unless stated otherwise
- Hand wash gently, reshape while damp
- Ready-to-ship
Small studio-made pieces, crafted in limited numbers in my woodland studio in England. Perfect as a whimsical gift or a cozy everyday treasure.
"Up the airy mountain, Down the rushy glen, We daren’t go a-hunting, For fear of little men." — William Allingham

All Fairysteps products are designed and made by me, in my long-established woodland studio on the edge of Dartmoor. Living and working amongst acres of woodland, I create shoes, boots, bags and textiles by hand using vintage sewing machines and traditional techniques.
Proudly made in England since 2002.

Textile Sizing
I provide detailed measurements rather than standard size names. To find your best fit, compare a favourite garment to the measurements listed in each product. Some like their dresses loose, others prefer a closer fit.

After Care
After Care
Shoes, Bags & Leathergoods
Leather likes to be loved - caring for your leatherwear will always be time well spent. Apply a good quality polish such as Renapur on a regular basis to keep your shoes, bags and purses looking beautiful.
Textiles
Dresses are made with pre-washed, pre-shrunk materials. I recommend machine washing at 30 and line drying (avoid tumble drying) - pop your pinny on and peg it out!
Knitwear should be handwashed gently - laid flat to dry.
