The Merry Stitchmas Hat Kit contains the yarn and pattern (you will receive a printed and digital copy) to knit a cosy, good-natured winter hat with a gentle slouch and a soft bobble. With its snuggly rib, smooth stocking stitch body, and long tapered crown, this cheerful design offers the best of both worlds – a fitted beanie with the look of a relaxed slouch, thanks to the way the crown's elongated tip and bobble falls.
Knit using Kremke Merry Merino 70, a beautifully soft and bouncy GOTS certified organic, eco-wash chunky weight merino wool. The hat feels warm without being heavy – perfect for frosty walks, Christmas markets, or festive evenings out.
Your kit includes:
🎄 2 balls of Kremke Merry Merino 70 (1 × Wool White 01, 1 × Tomato Red 35)
🎄 Digital download copy of The Merry Stitchmas Hat pattern
🎄 A West Country teabag from Somerset-based Miles Tea as a little crafting time treat
🎄 Wrapped in festive tissue paper, ready for gifting (to a crafty friend or yourself)
You'll also need:
🧶 40 cm circular needles: 5.5 mm for ribbing and 6.50 mm for the body (or size to get gauge)
🧶 80 cm circular 6.5 mm (for magic loop) or DPNs for crown shaping
🧶 Pom-pom maker (optional), stitch marker (or scrap yarn), sewing up needle and scissors
Needles can be found here.
Because this is a fitted hat, knitters often adjust their needle size to get the right tension, so the kit doesn’t include needles.
A quick, joyful knit that makes a wonderful gift – whether knitted or given as a kit.
Fibre Content: 100% organic merino eco-wash wool (plastic-free & chemical-free superwash).
