We have a few
knitting kits for adults and children which are ideal 'starter
packs' for beginners, or as fun gifts for your friends, even if
they are not experienced knitters. There are also a few more
complicated patterns which are suitable for the more
experienced knitter! Our kits are available from
£9.50 and all the patterns are £2.50 each if purchased on their
own.
The complete Kits are always
individually and carefully packed to order and include the pattern and the
yarn required to complete the project. Each pattern lists the quantity
and type of
yarn that is required to complete the project.
The
lovely wooden needles from Brittany and Symfonie can be purchased separately,
so please see the
needles pages.

lovely natural horn buttons to fasten it.
This unisex
style flatters both men and women, in a boxy shape
that suits everyone with or without an actual waist! I pinned it back
on the model shown, which is knitted in the large size. |

As a matter of
choice, its easy to
include the little pockets if you wish.

point needles, enough to make three hats! Available in
