Questions you might have

What's in the kit?

You'll get 4 skeins of Ewe So Sporty in the color you choose, plus the pattern for both the cardigan and the beanie. The kit makes the 12–24 months size. Needles (US 4, 5, and 6, plus US 6 double-pointed and a 12” circular for the beanie), 9 ½” buttons, a row counter, 4 stitch markers, 2 stitch holders or waste yarn, and a tapestry needle aren't included.

I can't find my pattern. What should I do?

The pattern is included with your kit. If you'd like a PDF copy too, you can find it on the Beanie & Buttons pattern page, or 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 3 project. The cardigan is knit from the top down to the hem with increasing needle sizes, and you add buttons at the end. It's a good fit if you like a pattern that holds your hand. 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 set, 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 cardigan and beanie?

Easy! Our yarn is superwash merino, so you can machine wash your cardigan and beanie inside out in cool water and tumble dry on low. All of our yarns are 100% fine superwash merino wool from Australia, spun and dyed in Italy.

Do I need to wind the yarn before I knit?

Nope! All the yarn in your kit comes as center-pull skeins, so you can start knitting right away.

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.
