Keep a special baby cozy with the Valley Yarns Kumquat stroller set and wrap them up in a colorful blanket and matching hat. Both projects are bursting with vibrant color and keep you engaged as you knit with striping colors and a fun mix of garter stitch, stockinette stitch, and a simple slipped-stitched pattern. The blanket is knit flat in one piece from the bottom up, with garter stitch borders framing the body of the blanket. The hat is also knit flat in one piece and comes together with a single seam. Cozy ear flaps and ties add the perfect finishing touch, and will keep baby extra warm and comfortable! Valley Yarns Haydenville is a great choice for all kinds of projects for kids with its soft, smooth blend of superwash Merino wool and acrylic microfiber that’s also machine-washable for easy care. Choose up to 8 shades from the great collection of colors of Haydenville yarn and create a custom palette for your Kumquat set! Stitch patterns are both charted and written out.
