Baby Jacket & Hat Knit Kit

Knit a button-front baby jacket and matching hat from Naturally pattern K3065 in New Zealand Merino Prints DK/8ply. The jacket combines stocking stitch with a moss-stitch ladder detail and is worked in one piece to the underarms before shaping the fronts and back.

Skill level and techniques

Intermediate. This baby jacket combines textured moss stitch with garment shaping, separately knitted sleeves, buttonholes and finishing; the matching hat is knitted flat and seamed.

What your kit includes

Needles, stitch holders, tapestry needle and stitch markers are separate. The product photo shows sample colours; your chosen variant supplies one printed shade.

Sizes and yarn supplied

Pattern size To fit chest Finished chest Jacket length Hat width Yarn supplied
Newborn 36 cm 41 cm 23 cm 33 cm 276 m

6–9 months 46 cm 51 cm 27 cm 39.5 cm 414 m

The 3 months and 6–9 months kit option shares the same three-ball quantity. It supplies one jacket and matching hat; choose the correct pattern size for your child.

Yarn and tension

New Zealand Merino Prints DK/8ply is 100% merino, with approximately 138 metres per 50 g ball. Work one strand. The pattern tension is 22 stitches and 30 rows to 10 × 10 cm in stocking stitch on 4 mm needles. Check tension before starting.

Needles and finishing

You will need 3.75 mm and 4 mm knitting needles, stitch holders and a tapestry needle. Work the jacket fronts and back from one lower section; knit the sleeves separately, then finish the neckline and sew on the three included buttons. Work the hat flat, shape the crown and join its back seam.

Follow the yarn label for a mild machine wash, then dry flat in the shade.

Who is this project for?

A matching little jacket and hat makes a special new-baby gift. The self-patterning merino does some of the colourwork for you, while the moss-stitch details add texture. This is best for knitters comfortable with basic garment shaping and finishing. Compare New Zealand Merino Prints 8ply and the Naturally K3065 knitting pattern.

Frequently asked questions

Does the kit contain enough yarn for both pieces?

Yes. The selected size's yarn quantity is intended for one jacket and its matching hat.

Why do the 3-month and 6–9-month sizes share a kit?

Both use 414 metres of yarn; follow the separate jacket and hat measurements for your chosen pattern size.

Are buttons included?

Yes. The kit lists three 15 mm Handmade with Love wooden buttons.

Do I need circular needles?

The jacket and hat are worked flat. You will need 3.75 mm and 4 mm knitting needles and separately supplied finishing tools.

Will the colour placement match the photos?

Not exactly. New Zealand Merino Prints is self-patterning, and the colour sequence will vary with size and where you begin each ball.
