Discover the art of subtle texture...
February's box is now open to new susbscribers! Be sure to subscribe by Monday 9th February when this box closes!
Inspired by rolling hills, soft wool under your fingers, and flocks scattered across muted winter field... it’s the kind of scene that makes you want to grab a hook and start something new. February’s project is all about texture, colour, and a little quiet magic you can wear.
Meet... the Flock + Valley Hat
February is the perfect month to cosy up and dive into a new skill - and our Flock + Valley hat kit is just the thing.
This month, we’re focusing on crochet short rows, the technique that creates the hat’s gently rising and falling texture, giving it that beautiful, rolling hills effect. By the end, you’ll have a hat that looks intricate, but is surprisingly achievable even for beginners.
One of the best things about this kit? It’s graded into four sizes — toddler, child, small adult, and large adult — so you can choose which member of the family to make it for (or, you know, just yourself). The stitch pattern naturally builds a soft, textured shape that fits beautifully, making it cosy and wearable for all ages.
Discover crochet short rows
By learning short rows with the Flock + Valley Hat, you’re not just making a hat — you’re building a new skill that opens the door to more advanced crochet shaping in future projects. And with four sizes to choose from, you can create something beautiful for yourself, a loved one, or even a little winter gift.
What's included?

Learn new crochet skills
There’s something quietly satisfying about watching a simple ball of wool transform into a textured, wearable piece — especially one made with wool, that’s soft to the touch and full of life. Flock & Valley is a cosy, creative escape for February, perfect for slow mornings, chilly afternoons, or any moment when you want to make something beautiful with your own hands.
Is this project for me?
Absolutely! Every one of our boxes comes with a 16-page printed pattern booklet, step-by-step photos and an exclusive video tutorial, typically 60 minutes long.
So no matter where you are on your crochet journey, you'll find everything you need to help you make up this month's box.
I'll walk you through each skill and technique in turn in the video, so that we make along together.
Am I tied into a subscription?
Nope! Curate Crochet Box is designed to be super flexible. All our projects are revealed each month before your renewal date, so you can skip a box if it's not your cup of tea, or if you are busy that month. Or you can cancel anytime if you need to - all from your own account.
