The very Soft Mariposa Organic Cotton Yarn inspired us to create this super cute Baby Hat Kit in Desert Jewels. It’s even cuter in person!

The design is colorful, easy & fun. It is worked in the round with either circular needles & double pointed needles or just double pointed needles. The placement of the loops and purling can be done as each knitter chooses. The 15” circ. size gives an exact placement instruction which can be altered creatively for the other 2 sizes.

Not only is this kit organic BUT the pattern is printed on 100% Post Consumer Waste Paper & Hemp. The packaging is 100% Biodegradable & Sustainable Clear Cellulose. Absolutely no plastic! It is the perfect eco knitting kit.

Also included in this kit is a plantable gift tag that can grow wildflowers when planted. It is adorned with a hand spun hemp cord & recycled glass bead.

This pattern comes with reelings of the following colors:
Periwinkle Plum
Roasted Cashew
Desert Apricot
Marshmallow
Aqua Reef
Spring
Mossy Rock
Orchid Spice
Golden Maize

The Mariposa Baby Hat is for sizes: Preemie, 15”circ. & 17” circ. The length is 6” & a bit adjustable due to the rolled bottom.

The Mariposa Hat is available in 6 color mixes in the patterns & kits section of the website. They include:
Chocolate Strawberry Swirl
The Blues
Mossy Rocks
Desert Jewels
Tangled Garden
Sherbet Ice

These hat kits allow for multi-color knitting without having to buy full hanks of every single color. This makes it a great value. It would make a perfect gift for that special mother to be & baby or given as a kit to a creative knitter in your life.

Needle sizes used are a #9 and #10 for the average knitter. See the Bamboo Knitting Needles page. The Crystal palace bamboo needles work like a dream with the organic cotton yarn.
