I’m sure you’ve heard by now that the mastermind behind the wildly successful Stitch N’ Bitch book series, the brilliant Debbie Stoller, has teamed up with Coats & Clark (aka Red Heart) to produce her own line of yarn! Available at a Joann store near you, Stitch Nation, by Debbie Stoller are 3, “100% Natural, 100% Affordable” yarns made to order for those of us who chant, “Knitting or BUST!”

Thanks to the folks over at Coats I was able to play a bit with a couple of the new yarns which I used to design Puffalump, a baby tam with a crocheted body and knitted, brim & crown. I love this hat and am thrilled to be able to offer the pattern to you today in both my shop and Ravelry, for only $5!
Materials
1 Ball Stitch Nation Alpaca Love (80% Wool/20% Alpaca; 132 yd/121 m), in color: 3620 Fern (Color A)
1 Ball Stitch Nation Bamboo Ewe (50% Viscose from Bamboo/45% Wool; 177 yd/162 m), in color: 5529 Mermaid (Color B)
Size US I (5.5mm) Hook (or size needed to obtain gauge)

Thanks! Clo’s wearing the smaller size. She has a big ol’ head (95th percentile!), but the there’s a lot of give in this pattern so babes can wear it for a long time. 🙂
I can not get over how cute Clover is!!! And I would have never made that hat until I saw how cute it looked on her! Now I’ve got a list a mile long of babies I want to make it for!
