Take a look at our selection of small knitting projects with easy-to-follow designer patterns, with each one under £50. These kits are ideal gift sets for anyone with a passion for knitting or for those wishing to pick up the needles again. We think it’s never too early to get started on those handmade knitted gifts for Christmas or winter birthday presents or simply to while away the hours on a rainy afternoon in the summer – what could be finer!
1. Porthtowan Beanie and Slouch, £16
Keen to try knitting with skeins for the first time? This airy lightweight hat is knitted in our Bam-boozle 4-ply, a beautiful yarn finished as skeins and available in a choice of summery shades, and made from a blend of bamboo, Pure Romney and Blue-faced Leicester pure wool. Choose to work the lace from a written pattern or chart.
2. Guernsey Fingerless Mitts and Phone Cover, £24
These matching fingerless mitts and phone cover have a simple anchor motif and are knitted in our 5-ply Pure Romney Guernsey wool. The sample is knitted in our natural grey with a choice of ten shades to pick from. A great starter kit.
This adorable baby set provides the avid knitter with an opportunity to work with 50g balls (rather than skeins) of our supersoft Blacker Swan merino and Shetland blend pure wool. Clear instructions are provided to make a woollen hat, knitted shoes and matching mittens for ages: 0-3 months, 3-6 months or 6-12 months, as well as a very easy method to make a little pompom. A charming handknitted gift to celebrate those new arrivals.
4. Cottage Garden Hot Water Bottle Cover, £35
For a really good introduction to fair isle knitting this kit includes a pattern with easy-to-follow instructions and options to make one large hot water bottle cover or two smaller ones, with a tulip or poppies design on one or both sides. Create this cosy, knitted home accessory with our Samite Silk Blend DK wool and mini skeins included to make the flowers and leaves.
5. Spring/Summer Lightweight Socks, £37.50
We love stepping out in these practical and pretty lightweight ankle socks. With a ribbed heel, subtle pattern on the ankles and toes, and a block of colour on the heels, there’s a choice of colours from our Bam-boozle yarn range, with the bamboo providing hypoallergenic, thermo-regulating and moisture absorbing properties, ideal for summer temperatures.
