Cast on something a little spooky, a lot adorable! 👻
The Ghost Halloween Hat is a playful colorwork knit: a row of friendly ghosts worked in two-color stranded knitting against a darker background, finished with a big, squishy pom pom. It works up nicely on worsted weight needles, so there's still time to have it on your head before the trick-or-treaters show up. 🍫
To make things easy, we've bundled the yarn and pattern for this project into one kit. No hunting down the right yarn amounts. Just pick your colors, add to cart, and knit.
Knitting the Black Licorice + Citrus Pop combo? That's my friend Nancy in the photo, knitting her hat at Sip + Stitch. She added a bonus row of Vanilla ghosts with an extra skein of Wooly Worsted. Mix and match to make it your own.

Soft merino wool yarn kits ready to jump on your needles 🧶
The perfect, mindless stitch remedy for a busy mind and a tired week. 🌤️💆♀️
When the noise of the everyday world gets a little too loud, there is nothing quite like retreating to a quiet corner with a project that asks for nothing but your presence. I named the Burnout Beanie for those moments—it is designed to be the ultimate creative reset, offering a rhythmic, soothing knit that gently cures the mental fatigue of a hectic schedule.
Worked in our lightweight, springy sport-weight wool, this beanie balances mindless comfort with a completely stylish, classic fit. It's the kind of project that flies around your needles with little stress, making it a great choice for advanced beginners looking to master working in the round, or seasoned makers who want a relaxing couch project to carry along on weekend adventures.
To make things easy for you, we’ve bundled this project into an easy click. Just choose your favorite happy shade from our 28-color palette, and we’ll ship your little packet of creative zen straight to your porch!

The 3-Ply Magic Twist: Because our premium Italian-milled merino features a crisp, springy 3-ply construction, your eyelets will pop with sharp definition and your garter rows will stay bouncy and resilient. The wool literally glides through your fingers.

Irresistibly Soft Against the Skin: No scratchy wool allowed. Ewe So Sporty is custom-milled from super-fine Australian sheep fiber, making it soft enough to wear directly around your neck and shoulders all day long.

Making for Halloween. The colors pop. The yarn feels so soft.
An oops. Plus usually when I buy EWE EWE bundles the pattern is included, not this time.
this Wooly Worsted MerinoYarn is beautiful and extremely soft to the touch. The color is rich and true and will make an amazing looking sweater. I can’t wait to start using this yarn then actually wearing it. I highly recommend this yarn from Ewe Ewe Yarns!
Where is the link to download the hat
The yarn is wonderful and customer service is top notch.
There will be knots in some skeins which is normal. I don't know if this will pill or not until it's knit into something but it's the nature of Merino to do so but that doesn't bother me. I only needed 3 skeins but the price was so good that I bought 5. It's super soft like you would expect and the proper thickness for a fingering sock weight. I split the skeins into (6) 56 to 58 gram skeins and dyed up 5. They took the dye nicely and I am pleased with my results. My yarn was packaged well/nicely and shipped VERY quickly and arrived at my doorstep safe and sound. I would purchase this again.
I ordered the baa bag bulky for my hat pattern, that I also bought from Eye eye yarns. I love this yarn !! It is so nice to work with. It is also soo soft!
I really like the pattern. Beautiful!
I love these little scissors. They fit perfectly with all of my other knitting accessories in my tote and they even have their own case. They are sharp and easy to use!
I am blown away by the feel and quality of this yarn at such a Great price!!!
Love this yarn. Sooo soft and the color is beautiful
Temperature Tee Yarn Kit
I’ve been waiting for the perfect yarn to start on my new wearable and the perfect pattern to do it with. Ewe Ewe has provided both. Not to mention the care and thoughtfulness of Heather, the owner , which makes it all the more fabulous!
I was open, when I ordered more yarn, to receive a different dye lot. I just figured for this children’s sweater I could make it work. Imagine my delight when I received the same dye lot! And quickly! I’m charged and almost finished!
I absolutely love this yarn. I had to buy more to make a hat and scarf!
