The Paris Beanie Kit is a beautiful introduction to knitting with Llama Umi. It's a stuninng project for any maker who wants a quick, satisfying hat in one of the softest fibres available.
 
Designed by Francisco Knits, Paris is a collection of four beanie patterns in one booklet. Hat A is a fitted ribbed beanie. Hat B is a slouchy textured hat with a relaxed, casual feel. Hat C is a closer-fitting textured design. Hat D is a beret-style hat with a fuller, rounder crown. Each one is worked in Llama Umi and shares the same needle size, so whichever you choose, the process is consistent and approachable. Your kit includes one skein of Llama Umi in your chosen colourway, enough to knit one hat and the printed Paris pattern booklet with all four designs inside.

Designed for Makers Like You
 
Paris is a fun project for beginner knitters who want to try working with a premium natural fibre without committing to a large project. Each hat works up quickly, and the four designs offer enough variety to keep things interesting, whether you prefer a fitted classic, a slouchy everyday beanie or something a little more distinctive.
 
It is especially suited to makers who love:
Beginner beanie knitting kits with a premium fibre story
Quick, satisfying projects that can be finished in a weekend
Natural, dye-free colourways with warmth and depth
A choice of styles from one set of patterns
Soft, warm accessories made from baby llama
 
Spun with Purpose
 
Llama Umi is 100% baby llama, sourced from Bolivia and spun by Mirasol. Baby llama is one of the softer natural fibres available, pillow-soft, gently lofty and warm without the weight of wool. The natural colour range of the fibre means Llama Umi's palette is grounded in the genuine tones of the animal, giving the yarn a depth and warmth that dyed fibres can rarely replicate.
 
A portion of every purchase supports the Mirasol School in Peru, providing education and opportunities to the children of alpaca ranchers and textile workers in the Andes.
 
This yarn is:
100% baby llama
sourced from Bolivia
spun by Mirasol
pillow-soft and gently lofty
warm without heaviness
part of the Mirasol community support programme
 
Made to Be Made
 
The Paris Beanie Kit is a beautiful choice for:
Beginner knitters looking for a beginner beanie knitting kit in a premium natural fibre
Makers who want a quick, wearable project they can finish in a weekend
Anyone curious about knitting with baby llama for the first time

Makers who love having options, four styles, one kit, one skein
 
If you have been looking for a beginner beanie knitting kit that uses a beautiful yarn and gives you creative choice, the Paris Beanie Kit is a perfect one to cast on.
 
Your Next Mindful Make
 
Each of the four Paris hats is a quick, satisfying project, the kind you can pick up one weekend and wear by the next. The baby llama is a pleasure to work with from the first cast on, and the natural warmth of Llama Umi means the finished hat earns its place in your everyday rotation.
 
Paris is a perfect choice for makers who enjoy a small, considered project with a big payoff.
