    Perfect for Beginners

    I had knitted like one scarf when I was a teen, I am in my 30s now, so only knew how to cast on and a basic stitch. I used the you-tube video's for what I didn't know and got all of the information I needed. I would next time start with the cotton over the merino, as the merino is prone to breaking apart and sheds a bit. (as to be expected)

    Hooked

    It took me a little while to get started but once I got the hang of it, I smashed this project out. I found the process super relaxing and satisfying. I'm currently on maternity leave and this ended up being the perfect hobby whilst baby wearing/contact napping. I love the style and colour; I knitted fewer rows than the pattern recommended for the back and front as I wanted more of a midriff style. Will definitely continue with more projects.

    Nice Beginner Cardigan

    The online videos and instructions were very helpful. I am a first time knitter who is terrible at crochet. Surprisingly this cardigan turned out great! It’s a true trust the process. The only thing I wish was better would be the videos on sewing the pieces together. I kinda did my own thing for sewing the sides.

    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!

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