Kate Middleton and Prince William left London for their first official tour of Sweden as a couple [1], and they didn't waste any time in getting to know the country's traditions. For a sporty morning in Stockholm, where they learned how to play Bandy hockey, the Duchess of Cambridge made sure to wrap up in a warm Burberry coat [2] ($3,495). The rest of her outfit, which mixed British and Swedish brands, included a Fjällräven sweater, Sorel boots [3] ($130), and Asprey London button earrings — but it was her adorable Eugenia Kim bobble hat [4] ($213) that immediately caught our attention.
While it certainly isn't the type of hat that Kate usually wears [5], the playful accessory was the perfect addition to her casual look. It was also all we needed to convince us to blow the dust off our beanies [6], and we already can't wait to see what other style lessons the duchess is going to teach us [7] on this tour. Read on to get a closer look at her sporty ensemble, then shop her exact bobble hat as well as similar options to add to your beanie collection [8].
