playful motifs for little explorers.
Choose Your Favorite, Knit a Memory There is nothing quite as sweet as a hand-knit hat on a chubby-cheeked baby. The Preppy Hats Yarn Kit is a celebration of clean, classic design and the joy of playful colorwork. Whether you choose to knit the whales, bows, hearts, or our new elephants, this kit provides a Small Win experience that is as fun to share as it is to knit!
Why You’ll Love This Kit:
-
Four Motifs in One: This isn't just one pattern; it's a library of options. Your kit includes charts for all four "preppy" motifs: Whales, Bows, Hearts, and Elephants. 🐳 🎀 💛 🐘
-
The Best First Colorwork Project: If you’ve been looking to try stranded colorwork, these hats are the perfect place to start. The charts are logical, rhythmic, and designed to glide through your needles without the stress of complex floats.
-
Heirlooms That Can Be Handled: We know babies are busy! This 100% merino wool is machine washable, making it a "worry-free" gift for new parents (just be sure to tuck in those ends extra well!).
-
The Bonus "Reverse" Option: Because of the clever yardage requirements, you can often knit a second, reversed-color hat from the same two balls of yarn—perfect for a back-up hat or a matching gift for a sibling.

Heather’s Design Note ✍️
"I originally designed the Preppy Hats because I wanted a gift that felt timeless but had a bit of a wink. Adding the hearts and elephants was a direct request from our community, and I love how they turned out! I chose Wooly Worsted for these because the colors are so fun and playful together. It’s the perfect project to soothe away the noise of a busy afternoon—just you, two colors, and a few rows of fun."

The perfect project to start myself knitting again. I love the feel of the yarn and am looking forward to a finished project. Choosing a color took awhile but as I’m knitting, I’m thinking I may need another color(s) and what great gifts these can be.
The yarn has a great feel and works up very well.
This is the easiest and most gratifying one could make for a new baby. Suggest using a blended yarn like cotton and merino wool or a quality yarn that is acrylic. I always slip the first stitch each row to give it a nice selvedge trim. Hint Hint.
I am making a baby sweater for my grandson. I love stripes and this color combination is exactly what I wanted. Can't wait to get started on this sweater!
I’m using Wooly Worsted Merino yarn for a baby sweater and I’m very happy with the color choice and the yarn itself.
thank you so much for the speedy delivery, wonderful service and love the yarn thanks again sherry
Love the yarn and color of my rush cowl
Love the colors and the yarn works up beautifully.
I’ve only crocheted with this yarn but knitting with it is so much better!!!!!
Ewe So Sporty is as great as all the other Ewe Ewe yarns. It's very comfortable to knit with and I really appreciate its stitch definition since my favorite patterns are those with texture. This is a yarn that's soft enough to be very wearable and easy to care for.
Love the yarn. It is a pleasure to knit with and I am enjoying the pattern so far. I was looking for a kit to knit a baby gift and this was a great combination of interesting pattern at a good price.
