Wool and the Gang | Viva Hat Kit

Want to keep your ears warm, your heart happy, and your hands full of kitten-soft yarn? And make it easy-peasy to boot! The Viva Hat ticks all the boxes and is in a more chunky yarn so it knits up quickly too – you could make this in an afternoon! This hat is knitted flat and seamed. Made from Wool and the Gang’s ultra soft and squishy Alpachino Merino, this hat will get you through cold days, or the hat or kit is a great present too!
