I bought this for my 6 year old daughter and it was a good way for her to learn how to knit. The very chunky pink yarn and the huge needles were perfectly sized for little hands. I must say that our success with this product was due in large part to the youtube video from AlexToys explaining visually how to cast on and knit. The video was excellent and my daughter knitted her scarf in no time. (I also learned how to knit from the video!) Her friends are now interested in making the same scarf. If you have a son who doesn't like the bright pink color, you can always buy any super bulky yarn and very large needles and then just watch the video.

kit was advertised as multi color yarn( blues, reds, yellows etc) . I ordered it for my 6 year old son. the kit came with pink yarn. I was not happy about this, as he wants to learn to knit and I know he would prefer a mulit color hat and scarf vs. a hot pink one.

My 9 year-old daughter has been begging me to learn how to knit, so I got her this set for Christmas. The yarn is very nice quality and super soft, but as we've been trying to learn how to do it, my daughter has been getting pretty frustrated because the knitting needles are huge! I understand they want to make it easy for beginners, but my word, they are so thick - it actually seems to be harder for her to learn than if they were skinnier. We'll keep trying. The website has a video to learn how, and it is very clear, but frustrating because you can't rewind. If you want to rewind a little, it starts the whole video over again. So - I am impressed with the quality, but it's not as user-friendly as I would like.

Christmas present

good for young crafters
I bought this for my niece who loves trying new crafts. She had a lot of fun knitting the scarf but didn't wear it because she didn't end matching her "style". Read more

Great starter
So many of these sets are really hard to understand. Instructions aren't great, but directs you to YouTube videos that actually help get you started simply with success. Great!

Hard to figure out!
I got this for my 6 year old and a year later still haven't figured out how to make anything. I am not a knitter, but I thought I could figure this out.

Poor quality
Knitting needles made of wood are very rough. Kept snagging yarn and frustrating for everyone, not just the child it was intended for.

The needles are very big
I agree with someone else, the knitting needles are huge and hard to hold everything. Even I have trouble. We're going today to get some smaller ones. Read more
