A Sweet Small Win When you need a baby gift that is as adorable as it is giftable, the Petal & Leaf Hat is the answer. This nature-inspired design mimics the look of a budding flower, making it the perfect accessory for a spring arrival. Knit with our soft, bouncy Baa Baa Bulky merino wool, this hat is a high-success project and a cute topper for a little one.
Why You’ll Love the Petal & Leaf Kit:
-
Cozy Bulky Knitting: Because it’s knit in bulky weight yarn, the rows build up into a plush little hat. So fun.
-
Baa Baa Bulky Softness: 100% merino wool that is specifically designed to be soft against a baby's delicate skin. Plus, it’s machine washable—a must-have for every new parent!
-
Learn with Heather: Never knit a hat before? Don't worry. This kit includes a free video tutorial where I walk you through every stitch. It’s like having me sitting right next to you on the sofa!
-
The 3-Ply Glide: Even in a bulky weight, our yarn is designed to glide through your fingers without splitting, ensuring your "petals" look crisp and professional.

This hat looks complicated but it’s easy and fun to knit! Petal & Leaf begins with a rolled brim and a little bit of ribbing. The stockinette stitch body is finished with an exposed bind-off before adding the stems and leaves. Tie the stems (created with i-cords) to cinch up the top! The leaves can flop wherever they may.

Questions you might have
What's in the kit?
You'll get 1 skein of Baa Baa Bulky in the color you choose, plus a printed copy of the Petal & Leaf Hat pattern and a link to the free video tutorial. Needles (US 10, 16” circular and double-pointed), a ring marker, and a tapestry needle aren't included.
I can't find my pattern. What should I do?
A printed copy of the pattern is packed in your kit. If you'd like a PDF copy too, or anything seems to be missing, email hello@eweewe.com with your order number and I'll send it right over.
Is this kit right for me?
This is a Level 2–3 project. If you've finished a few hats or cowls and can read your knitting, you're ready for it. The hat has a rolled brim, ribbing, and i-cord stems and leaves, and the free video tutorial walks you through each stitch. If you get stuck, our Knitting Knowledge tutorials and the Secret Society of Knitters community are here to help, or you can email me.
Will the color look like the photo?
Screens vary, so a color can look a little different in person. If you're unsure about a shade, email me before you order and I'll help you choose.
Should I order extra yarn?
The kit has the amount of yarn the pattern calls for. If you'd like to make a larger size or more than one hat, it's better to order extra now. Dye lots vary from batch to batch, and I can't always match a specific lot later.
How do I care for my finished hat?
My main recommendation is to soak your finished hat in Soak Wash or another wool wash and block it, because blocking is where the stitches bloom. The yarn is also machine washable (inside out in cool water) and can tumble dry low, so everyday care is easy. All of our yarns are 100% fine superwash merino wool from Australia, spun and dyed in Italy.
How soon will my order ship, and what does it cost?
I pack and ship orders within one business day, six days a week including Saturday mornings. They go out by USPS Ground Advantage from Oceanside, California, so delivery time depends on USPS and where you live. Shipping is free on US orders over $75 and $5 on smaller US orders, and you'll get a tracking email when your order is on its way.
Can I return my yarn?
Unused items in their original condition can be returned within 30 days of receiving them. Email hello@eweewe.com with your name and order number and I'll take care of you. If something arrives damaged or isn't what you ordered, let me know right away and I'll make it right.
Let customers speak for us
Making for Halloween. The colors pop. The yarn feels so soft.
An oops. Plus usually when I buy EWE EWE bundles the pattern is included, not this time.
this Wooly Worsted MerinoYarn is beautiful and extremely soft to the touch. The color is rich and true and will make an amazing looking sweater. I can’t wait to start using this yarn then actually wearing it. I highly recommend this yarn from Ewe Ewe Yarns!
Where is the link to download the hat
The yarn is wonderful and customer service is top notch.
There will be knots in some skeins which is normal. I don't know if this will pill or not until it's knit into something but it's the nature of Merino to do so but that doesn't bother me. I only needed 3 skeins but the price was so good that I bought 5. It's super soft like you would expect and the proper thickness for a fingering sock weight. I split the skeins into (6) 56 to 58 gram skeins and dyed up 5. They took the dye nicely and I am pleased with my results. My yarn was packaged well/nicely and shipped VERY quickly and arrived at my doorstep safe and sound. I would purchase this again.
I ordered the baa bag bulky for my hat pattern, that I also bought from Eye eye yarns. I love this yarn !! It is so nice to work with. It is also soo soft!
I really like the pattern. Beautiful!
I love these little scissors. They fit perfectly with all of my other knitting accessories in my tote and they even have their own case. They are sharp and easy to use!
I am blown away by the feel and quality of this yarn at such a Great price!!!
Love this yarn. Sooo soft and the color is beautiful
Temperature Tee Yarn Kit
I’ve been waiting for the perfect yarn to start on my new wearable and the perfect pattern to do it with. Ewe Ewe has provided both. Not to mention the care and thoughtfulness of Heather, the owner , which makes it all the more fabulous!
I was open, when I ordered more yarn, to receive a different dye lot. I just figured for this children’s sweater I could make it work. Imagine my delight when I received the same dye lot! And quickly! I’m charged and almost finished!
I absolutely love this yarn. I had to buy more to make a hat and scarf!
