    Gorgeous knit

    Super easy for a beginners! The quality of the wool is unreal! I made a very small adjustment and extended the length of the sleeves by adding 5 rows. Perfect fit!

    LOVED THIS KIT

    I had dreams of knitting my own sweater as a child (my mum had knitted herself several) but whenever I tried to learn how to knit, I couldn’t even knit a square

    I saw Cardigangs kits on Insta after recently learning to crochet and knew I HAD to try!

    The kit was SO easy to follow, the wool is the most gorgeous, heavy weight merino and so incredibly easy to work with. It was also really quick to work up so super satisfying!

    I get complimented on my cardi ALL the time and cannot wait to make another

    I completely love my Shannon Cardy, and everyone who sees it loves it too. Very proud of my first knit! Thanks Cardigang for help when I needed it. Onto the next knit!

    Great instructions

    Easy to follow, the videos could be a little more close up for the beginners like me.

FAQS

Your kit comes will all the gear you need to make your masterpiece.

Inside your kit you'll find:

- Yarn in your chosen colours

- Incredibly easy to follow instructions including links to life-saving video tutorials (because accidents happen)

- A "Made by me" tag to proudly affix to your custom creation

- A needle or hook pack. We give you the option to remove this from your kit incase you already have the tools you need.

Yes, you’ll see that the needles or hook needed for that kit comes pre-selected as part of the kit inclusions.

As long as you keep them ticked, you'll get the needles or hook included, but if you un-tick the option then we won’t pack them in your kit - we’ve made them optional because some people already have the tools they need and don’t want more sent out. 

Total Beginner - Experience: none at all.

These kits are perfect for anyone who's learning for the first time or wants a simple project. They all only use a few techniques and are easy to master.
