Skill Level - Beginner

This baby hat and mittens set has been created for us by Vibeke at Diving Ducks. With over 70,000 subscribers, Diving Ducks Crochet has a strong following and proven pattern design.

The kit is supported, as all Diving Ducks Crochet videos are, by a How To Video as well as the printed pattern you receive with your kit. Watch the video video now

The crochet hook, an optional extra, is 4.5mm and made from natural bamboo wood. They are wonderful to work with and hold.

These hat and mittens will keep your precious baby warm during the winter. The wrist warmers use lightweight DK alpaca yarn spun from the fleece of alpacas from UK farms. We love this hat and mittens set, partly because it looks so great, and also because it crochets up so qiuckly.

Size: Preemie / Newborn / 3 months 

Kit includes:

  • Cotton alpaca project bag
  • Standard 100g (225m) of Gorgeous DK yarn made from 75% alpaca/25% sheep
  • Optional - 4.5mm hook and a tapestry needle to sew in the ends
  • Pattern

As with all Gorgeous alpaca DK kits, it's warm and cosy, but lightweight and breathes well. The alpaca yarn has a small amount of 100% natural sheep's wool blended in, which makes it easy to knit and crochet with, and still retains that wonderful alpaca softness.

What's so great about alpaca yarn? 

Alpaca yarn is highly valued for it's softness, warmth, and durability.

Let's compare it to sheep's wool

    • The fibres are much finer, and generally longer, than sheep’s wool, which makes them softer and less itchy
    • It contains no lanolin which makes it hypo-allergenic (and also makes it more sustainable as it can be processed at very low temperatures)
    • It also has a natural sheen that gives finished items a luxurious look
    • Both sheep and alpaca fleece is water-repellent, but alpaca also wicks away the moisture

Hand washing: Use lukewarm water and a specialist wool detergent. Hair conditioner in the final rinse will add extra softness. When washing and rinsing squeeze the garment rather than rubbing. Gently squeeze out excess water before rolling in a towel. Lay flat to dry.

Washing machines: Modern machines with delicate programme at 20C using a wool delicate detergent. Can be spun at 400 RPM.
