a little garden for a new sprout.

The Ultimate Afternoon Victory When you need a baby gift that is as adorable as it is fast, 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 that provides instant gratification for your needles and a cute topper for a little one.

Why You’ll Love the Petal & Leaf Kit:

• Instant Gratification: Because it’s knit in bulky weight yarn, you can cast on after lunch and have a finished gift by dinner! 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.

What’s Included in Your Yarn Kit:

A complete "Small Win" in one package:

• 1 Ball of Ewe Ewe Yarns Baa Baa Bulky (100% Merino Wool, 132 yards).

• The Pattern: A printed copy of the Petal & Leaf Hat pattern.

• Free Expert Help: A link to the full-length YouTube video tutorial.

Project Specifications:

• Sizes: 0-6 mo (6-12 mo, 1-2 years).

• Yarn: Ewe Ewe Yarns, Baa Baa Bulky.

• Needles: US 10 (6 mm) 16” circular and DPNs.

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.

Pattern included with kit purchase.
