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!”
Me & Deb at Last Weekend’s Craft Super Show in Anaheim, CA
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)
1 Set, Size US 10 (6.0mm) Double- Pointed Needles (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!
We are so excited that our friend and YarnYAY! Design Manager, @juliamadill's Overprint Bag design was published in the Spring '23 issue of @pompommag !
We love the graphic look, and environmentally conscious purpose of this crochet tote so much, that we've put together two colorful, Montoya Merino Light kits to celebrate!

The YarnYAY! 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘉𝘰𝘹'𝘴 featured shade of 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘰𝘺𝘢 𝘔𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘰 𝘓𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 (Desert Jasper), feels right at home with this holiday, so 𝘄𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗮 𝗯𝗼𝘅 𝘁𝗼 𝗧𝗪𝗢 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀! See below for details.
Side note (that likely no one by me will care about): Giving away hanks on St Patrick's Day, of my Montoya Merino yarn feels appropriate as my dad used to always say that my brother and I were Spirish (Spanish + Irish). Thank you for listening.
