    Baby Jacket & Hat Knitting Kit

    Create a beautifully soft matching baby set with the K3065 Jacket & Hat Knitting Kit, designed for little ones from newborn to 18 months. Knitted in New Zealand Merino Prints DK / 8 Ply, this sweet baby knitting kit includes a cosy button-front jacket and coordinating hat — a practical, charming project for gifting, everyday wear, or a lovingly handmade new baby outfit.

    The pattern pairs simple stocking stitch with a textured moss stitch ladder detail, allowing the printed merino yarn to bring colour, softness and character to the finished set. The result is a warm, wearable baby jacket and hat with a beautifully handmade feel.

    Why You’ll Love This Baby Knitting Kit

    This baby jacket and hat knitting kit is a wonderful choice for knitters wanting to make a complete matching set in premium merino yarn. The jacket is worked in one piece to the underarm, reducing seams and helping create a neat, comfortable finish. The coordinating hat makes the kit especially giftable, whether for a newborn, baby shower, first birthday, or winter wardrobe.

    The variegated New Zealand Merino Prints DK yarn creates a soft self-patterning effect, adding visual interest without complicated colourwork.
