Obsessed! First time knitting anything and definitely not the last time thanks to Cardigang. Reminded me of the days when my grandmother tried to teach me when I was young but back then I couldn’t understand how she did it.

Love love Cardigang, I’ve never knitted in my life (I’m 58) but always wanted to give it a try, Cardigang made the whole process easy and enjoyable. Thank you for helping me get a sense of achievement.

Absolutely love this scarf! My first time doing this! It took me a few tries to get the hang of it and learning from the videos but after a few watches and a few tries, I got the hang of it and absolutely am obsessed. Already looking to buy my next one!!

Customers said this beginner-friendly knit kit is perfect for first-time knitters, featuring "easy to follow instructions," quality wool, and beautiful customizable colors. Shoppers loved the supportive videos and quick completion time. Some noted challenges with sewing pieces together and tracking color numbers during assembly.

Love love love the kit, the yarn and the colours! It kept me from doom scrolling on my phone and I really enjoyed making it! So proud that I have a finished cardigan and I can wear it and show it off!

Your screen time report is shaking. 😉 So glad this kept your hands busy, and even happier you’ve got a cardigan to show for it. Wear it proudly! You're on a roll

Cute and easy cardigan

I loved making the olivia cairdgan. Did find it useful when I read a review that mention it is handy to keep track of your colours when placing your order which definitely made it easier to follow the instructions as it only mentions colour 1, colour 2, etc. I was able to complete this in 3 weeks and this is only my second ever knitting project. You mainly complete a stockinette and rib stitch which is pretty easy to follow for a beginner. The part I still find tricky is stitching the pieces together. I do wish the videos were a bit closer and specify needing to block pieces to make it easier to stitch before you have started stitching!
All in all I love being able to knit for the first time ever!

Amazing

This was the first thing I ever knitted and I love it so much. I found the instructions easy to follow. Now I have something warm and colourful to wear all winter. My cat also loves it too.

So much fun and super easy!!!!

I ordered the Olivia cardigan. I’m a crocheter, not a knitter so I was skeptical. The kit was perfect and the instructions were superb. There was lots of pictures and videos to
Help you along and also a blog with help from others who are working on the same project. I finished in about a week. It fits perfectly and is just lovely. I will certainly make another one and now I want to knit more.

Olivia Cardi

This was my second attempt at knitting and after a couple of false starts where I had dropped stitches so I unraveled and started again I am very happy with how it turned out!
I even added some pockets with some leftover wool!
It's not perfect but it's good enough to keep me warm in winter ❄️
The instructions are easy to follow and I completed it in about a week. Thoroughly recommended even if you're a beginner like me 😊

Super easy and super cute!

I took up knitting whilst I had a back injury and was pretty immobile - to avoid spending my days doom scrolling! I'm completely hooked! It was so very simple (OK there were a few mistakes along the way, but that's to be expected), the how-to videos make everything so easy and steps are explained really simply (and creatively so you remember), but most of all, my daughter absolutely loves her finished cardi 🥰 I also did the blocking which made a huge difference to how the fabric sits - it says it's optional, but it really wouldn't have sat properly at all if I hadn't done it. I'll definitely be doing more, just can't decide on another jersey or a blanket.. maybe I'll do both! Couple of things for feedback - it would be good to get a print out of what colour corresponds to what number - I couldn't remember what colours I'd chosen (or the order), so took a while to figure that out by going back to the website and trying to remember what I created. The other thing I would suggest is selling just the patterns - I have quite a bit of yarn left over and would love to make some smaller things to use it up. Apart from that, an awesome experience and would definitely recommend Cardigang and replacing your scroll with a roll (of yarn!).

Loved it from start to fnish

This was my first time knitting a big piece and I had no idea how to go about it which is why I bought this kit!

Omg I absolutely loved the whole process and I can confidently say I fell in love with knitting thanks to Cardigang. They made it so easy to get into it and I highly recommend it to everyone wanting to get started but not knowing how to start!

11/10 😍

Reminded me of the days when my grandmother tried to teach me when I was young but back then I couldn’t understand how she did it. The pattern was easy to follow and the yarn is nice to work with and feels great when you wear it.

Fun!!

Really enjoyed making this. Enough of a challenge for a total beginner, but very doable. The Facebook community is super helpful. I added 4 extra rows for a longer cardigan, and 2 extra for the sleeves.

Love

I had only knitted one scarf before this. I found it quite challenging and had to restart many times, but once I got the technique it was great! I love the colours and how soft and fluffy it is. I still can't believe I made this!

Love my new cardigan

So glad I saw the pop up on Instagram. I’d been looking for something to do and when I saw CARDIGANG I knew I’d found it.
The wool is super soft and the colours are beautiful. I can’t wait for the cold weather so I can wear it.
My only tip is, if you like a longer cardigan then just knit a couple of extra rows. There is enough wool.

Fun,fun,fun

I loved knitting this cardi, it was great to have the videos to refer to. I would have liked it in a bit bigger size for me. The wool was lovely, fun colours and great quality.i loved knitting it so much, I couldn’t stop and it was made in a weekend.

So many compliments

I love my Olivia - it's so snug, cosy & warm. I don't wear a lot of colour so found it was a great way to inject a bit of dazzle in my wardrobe. People love that I knitted it myself.
It was my first knitting attempt so a fair few mistakes made 😬. In hindsight, should have started with one of the acrylic knits to get a handle on things. But I still adore it!

Brilliant!

So happy! I have finally made a cardigan for myself which fits beautifully thanks to the fun and easy Olivia instructions provided. Have had so many compliments on my cardigan and I wear it often. I have purchased two more to make my daughters one each. Thank you Cardigang!

Great beginner cardigan!

I cant believe I made this cardigan! I had only ever made scarves before this, so this was the first time I had to sew pieces together, decrease stitches and do ribbing. I loved making it, the instructions were easy to follow and videos so helpful. The wool is soft and warm. I’m quite tall so I made the large size which I’m happy with. Thanks Cardigang! I can’t wait to try some other patterns now!

Why your brain will love this

Your brain’s new bestie

Knitting gives your hands something to do and your mind somewhere to rest. The steady rhythm can help things feel a little quieter, especially after a long day.

Confidence, stitched in

Every row is a small step forward. Watching something take shape, slowly and imperfectly, can build confidence in a way that feels gentle and earned.

Focus, without the pressure

Engaging enough to keep you present. Relaxed enough to help you unwind. It’s an easy way to focus without feeling switched on all the time.

SOMETHING YOU CAN’T BUY

You’re not just making a piece. You’re making something with time in it. Something personal, imperfect, and yours.
