Aelike Knitting Kit for Beginners, Dishcloth Knitting Kit, Knitting Set with 25cm Metal & Bamboo Needles, Instructions and Yarn, Knitting Starter Kit for Adults

Great value for money and perfect for beginners at knitting. The wool is decent quality and it comes with a very easy to follow instruction book, a ruler and even a little pair of snippets to cut the wool.

Great for a first timer ..

Not the right one BUT for what you get it's great for starting out

Nice knitting kit thankyou

There aren’t many options on a beginners how to knit kit on Amazon, as the majority of results were actually for crochet, so this seemed like my only option as an absolute beginner. The kit does contain the basics for learning to knit, but I think the idea could have been executed better. The kit itself: It contains a needle gauge, 4 balls of yarn, a wooden pair of 5mm needles and a metal pair, a scissors, some plastic needles, and a booklet. The booklet says that stitch markers should be included but I didn’t receive these, however, they are not mentioned on the Amazon listing so I’m not sure if I was supposed to receive these or not. The quality of the needles seem okay, the scissors is small and a little fiddly, and the yarn leaves a little to be desired. The yarn: My main gripe with this kit is the yarn. It is not suitable for beginners in my opinion. It’s too easy for you to put your needle through the yarn instead of through your loop, and it’s full of factory knots (pictured is one example) which makes it more difficult for beginners to navigate. It’s hard to see your stitches, and the yarn is prone to fraying. I think a thicker more solid yarn like T-shirt yarn would be better for beginners learning stitches as it would be easier to see your stitches. I thought the qr code on the back might lead you to instructional videos, but sadly it just takes you to their US Amazon storefront. Since the written instructions were basic and a little hard to follow, I had to look up my own tutorials on how to cast on, etc. Overall, I think buying this kit might be a waste of your time and money, and you could just buy or thrift a pair of needles and a ball of a more beginner friendly yarn and teach yourself from YouTube tutorials, and get the same results (if not better). Just poor design and not great value for money in my opinion.

Arrived on time. Product was as expected. Really appreciated

Nice little gift for beginners.

This does not give enough information for a complete beginner to get started. The wools are lovely colours but are still just balls of wool i haven't managed to knit anything.

Exactly what I needed. I am an avid crocheter for many years, but I wanted to teach myself to knit. So I got this little kit for 18 bucks, and it was worth every penny. I got 4 small skeins of nice quality yarn, a set of bamboo knitting needles, a set of polished metal knitting needles, special safety scissors, a needle gauge, several plastic yarn needles and a really nice little instruction and pattern booklet in English that has full, step by step, pictorial instructions. It would actually be a really nice gift for someone looking to learn knitting. Very pleased with this.

Arrived quickly, all pieces and is exactly what I ordered! Easy to read and understand. Good quality !

Parfait pour débuter, mais le manuel d’instructions pourrait être plus clair.

Great beginner kit. Everything included to get started! Makes a nice gift. Great quality materials.

A great beginner-friendly knitting kit that’s easy to follow and well put together. The instructions are clear, and the materials are simple enough for new knitters to learn without feeling overwhelmed. A fun and relaxing starter kit for anyone wanting to pick up knitting.
