The perfect, mindless stitch remedy for a busy mind and a tired week. 🌤️💆♀️
When the noise of the everyday world gets a little too loud, there is nothing quite like retreating to a quiet corner with a project that asks for nothing but your presence. I named the Burnout Beanie for those moments—it is designed to be the ultimate creative reset, offering a rhythmic, soothing knit that gently cures the mental fatigue of a hectic schedule.
Worked in our lightweight, springy sport-weight wool, this beanie balances mindless comfort with a completely stylish, classic fit. It's a gentle, low-stress project, making it a great choice for advanced beginners looking to master working in the round, or seasoned makers who want a relaxing couch project to carry along on weekend adventures.
To make things easy for you, we’ve bundled this project into an easy click. Just choose your favorite happy shade from our 28-color palette, and we’ll ship your little packet of creative zen straight to your porch!
What's Inside Your Complete Kit:
-
A printed copy of the Burnout Beanie knitting pattern by Heather Walpole.
-
2 balls of Ewe So Sporty 100% superwash merino wool yarn in the signature shade of your choice.
What You'll Need (Not Included):
- US 3 (3.25 mm) 16” circular knitting needles.
- US 3 (3.25 mm) set of double-pointed needles.
- A tapestry needle to weave in your ends cleanly.
-
1 ring marker.
Why This Kit is Pure Joy to Knit:
-
The 3-Ply Magic Twist: Because our premium Australian merino, spun and dyed in Italy, features a crisp, springy 3-ply construction, your ribbing will show crisp stitch definition and stay bouncy and resilient. The wool literally glides through your fingers.
-
Irresistibly Soft Against the Skin: No scratchy wool allowed. Ewe So Sporty is custom-milled from super-fine Australian sheep fiber, making it soft enough to wear directly around your neck and shoulders all day long.
-
Real-Life Care: I believe we should actually wear and love our knits. This entire hat is machine washable in cool water and dryable on low, so you can take it out to the garden or the patio without a single worry.

Questions you might have
What's in the kit?
You'll get 2 balls of Ewe So Sporty in the color you choose, plus a printed copy of the Burnout Beanie pattern. The pattern comes in six sizes, from baby to adult large, and 2 balls covers every size. Needles (US 3, 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 project. If you've finished a few hats or cowls and can read your knitting, you're ready for it. The beanie is worked in the round in a stretchy 1x1 rib, using a circular needle and double-pointed needles for the crown. 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 in every size. If you'd like to make more than one beanie, 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 beanie?
My main recommendation is to soak your finished beanie 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!
