Start Knitting Right Away!
The ALEX Yarn Craft kit comes with great instructions that give in-depth explanations for all the basics of knitting and crocheting. The child can follow the images and explanations step by step, learning how to cast on, cast off, fix mistakes, change colors to make stripes, add tassels and more. The 6 bright fashion colors allow for many stripe variations and the large size wooden knitting needles are the right size for a child’s hands.

Check out the Video Instructions
ALEX® has created an easy-to-follow online video for Yarn Craft. Kids can follow the fun and entertaining video, going back to steps they missed if they need to see it again. The video is designed to cater to how children learn, minimizing frustration and making the process seem more forgiving. Once your child gets the hang of the basics of these knitting and crocheting, they will be making their own cozy and colorful accessories in no time.

Life-long skills
The child will keep the skills learned with Yarn Craft for a lifetime. The feeling of accomplishment of learning to make wearable garments out of yarn will give your child a sense of confidence and mastery in their world. They will greatly improve their manual dexterity as the basic skills become second nature. The whimsical artwork and fine quality of the lidded case will encourage them to keep all their materials stored in style.

4.0 out of 5 stars plenty for the money October 31, 2005
My daughter was pleased as punch. She got 900 feet (that's a lot for child sized mittens and scarves!) of yarn and a pretty basket to keep the things neat. The needles were just fine. A few other kits at our local shop were going for twice this and didn't have as much yarn and the "baskets" were cheap plastic tubs. If something is damaged I know we usually exchange the item to the store or call the manufacturer and they're more than happy to replace items. Also my daughter is seven years old and just entered 1st grade and she had no problems understanding the instructions with a little help from me.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Birthday Present March 7, 2006
We got this as an 11th birthday present for one of my daughter's friends. It was the hit of the birthday party -- all the girls went home with new yarn belts, and my daughter, who can already knit a little, asked if she could have one, too. The colors of yarn are bright and the texture is easy to work with. For our purposes, this was a great birthday present.

The basket is pretty, the the wooden needles were damaged, and we had to go to the library for better basic instructions for my daughter to understand.
