January - Winter Wellness

 Designed for winter, made at your own pace.....

January's box is now open to new susbscribers! Be sure to subscribe by Friday 9th January when this box closes! 

January can feel like wading through cold porridge. The days are short, and everything feels a little… grey. Which is exactly why this month’s Curate Crochet Box is all about gentle comfort, easy wins and a burst of colourful joy, right in the palm of your hand.

Meet... your Winter Wellness Mittens.

This month, we’re leaning into cosy hibernation and giving you a project that feels soothing, achievable and quietly uplifting. These mittens are the perfect antidote to winter slump: warm, soft, mindful to make, and practical enough to wear from the moment you finish weaving in the ends.

Plus, we've included some warming goodies this month to help your January box feel like a mini crochet retreat! A self heating eye mask and a lovely cup of tea to make January feel a little less... January!

A mitten design made for real life

These aren’t your average mittens. They’re:

  • Fingerless for everyday use, so you can scroll, sip and stitch without freezing.

  • Finished with a fold-over flap, giving you instant warmth when the cold really bites.

  • Designed with gentle structure, so they look beautifully handmade, not bulky.

It’s the kind of small, useful accessory that instantly feels like a winter essential — and a lovely January pick-me-up.

A soothing stitch to ease you in

This month you’ll learn linen stitch, a wonderfully rhythmic, almost meditative technique that creates a dense, woven-looking texture. It’s beginner-friendly, calming to work, and perfect for settling into a slower, gentler pace after the rush of December.

If you’ve been wanting a project that feels good to make, not just looks good when finished, linen stitch is for you.

What's included?

Your Winter Wellness Box includes two mood-boosting yarns chosen to work together beautifully. Every Curate Crochet Box comes thoughtfully packed so you can focus entirely on making. No extra trips to the craft store, no guesswork - just everything you need to start stitching right away. In this box, you’ll find the perfect materials and guidance to make your Winter Wellness box come to life:

  • 3 x premium yarns 
  • Signature crochet hook
  • Full printed pattern with step-by-step photos
  • A detailed one hour video tutorial
  • 2 buttons
  • A warming eye mask
  • A cup of tea, and any other accessories and extras to make your project complete!

Everything is included so you can dive straight into your winter project without any extra fuss.

A gentle project for a gentle start to the year

January doesn’t need resolutions or pressure. What it needs is softness — a warm drink, a comfortable chair, and a project that makes you feel capable and creative again.

The Winter Wellness Mittens let you:

  • Sink into a soothing new stitch

  • Create something genuinely useful

  • Add small pockets of joy to your week

  • Start the year with a finished make

If you’ve been craving a little warmth, a little colour and a little creativity, this box is your invitation.

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. 

How to join Curate Crochet Box

Sign-ups for January's box are open now, but only until 9th January. Once this box closes there's no guarantee the kit will be available in future. If you are already one of our subscribers, you don't need to do anything! The box will be posted to your door with everything you need to make it. 

Or, if you are looking for a present for the yarn-lover in your life (or yourself, we're not here to judge) you can purchase a 1, 3, 6 or 12 month gift subscription too...
