When it comes to making resolutions, New Year’s may get all the credit, but the on-the-cusp feeling of fall also makes us feel refreshed, revived… and resolute! What better time to learn to knit?
Our Simple Hand Warmers + Hat Kit is a Purl Soho classic, specially designed to take the novice knitter from the very beginning to the very end of crafting a perfectly beautiful set of toasty accessories.
This kit is a classic for a reason but that doesn’t mean we can’t improve on the idea! Each kit still includes two skeins of Worsted Twist 100% merino wool, bamboo knitting needles, and an instructional booklet that guides you every step of the way, but now, instead of just a few Worsted Twist colors to choose from, you get to pick from all of them… just choose your favorite and we’ll build it for you!
Picking the color is the hardest part, because the knitting is actually as easy as it gets, just garter stitch rectangles that you sew it into shape. Everyone can appreciate the beauty, but first-time knitters will also appreciate the simplicity of this a wonderful introduction to the world of knitting!
So if you’re feeling resolute, go ahead and pick up a kit with the Worsted Twist color that inspires you most (there are 19 to choose from!), and simply learn to knit!

I bought the Simple hand Warmers and Hat pattern. The download does not list the recommenced yarn weight or needle size. I had to go back the original email to determine the yarn weight and needle size. This info should be included with the download pattern.
Hi Agnes,
Thanks for writing in! You can find the materials list, including the recommended yarn, needle size, and gauge, at the top of the last page of the pattern.
I hope that helps, and happy knitting!

Hello Illina,
Thank you for your kind words! I think this is a great learning project, especially if you or another knitter is helping them along. Both of these patterns essentially involve knitting garter stitch rectangles.
I hope this helps and happy knitting!

Hello,
I purchased this pattern yesterday and was wondering if the hat is knit in the round, or if it’s knit flat? It doesn’t really specify.
Hi Mallory,
Thanks for reaching out! This hat is knit flat and seamed at the end. It’s a wonderful first project for beginners!
Best,
Julianna
