Amazing pattern, easy instructions and a knit along video! Plus access to help at any time!
This beauty took me two days to make with the softest wool you could ask for. Can’t wait to wear it on our mountain holiday.
Another great knit kit.
This was my first time knitting and thanks to this easy to follow kit and tutorial, the beautiful yarn and Karen’s support through the process, I’m now obsessed with knitting and can’t wait to start my next project :)
I just finished the Fried Egg Jumper and loved it so much! Decided to try the new kit and somehow finished it in a week 😂 The instructions were super easy to follow, and the video tutorial for the toast and coffee part really helped – I wouldn’t have figured out the intarsia without it. So satisfying to see it come together!
I haven’t finished yet but I am really enjoying the making process! The wool is lovely and soft, the colour is gorgeous and unique and the instructions are clear with both written and video explanations. My only feedback would be that the cord between the 10mm needles was oddly short? I really struggled knitting with them and ended up swapping them out for some others I had around the house. But that could just be my preference. The 12mm were perfectly fine though :) overall love and will be buying more wool in a different colour to do make this again in the future!
I had so much fun making this brown bonnet! 🧶 The kit made everything super easy, it had all the bits and bobs I needed, and the instructions were super clear! I genuinely loved every step of the process, and now I have the sweetest little bonnet to show for it. 🍂✨
I absolutely love this knit. The mohair is divine & it just looks so impressive. I chose the dusty blue & the mink pink. The videos were really helpful. I really enjoyed the experience & am so happy with the end product. I've purchased other knit kits from other small businesses but Knitato is just better. This is my second kit from Knitato & im considering my third
This know kit is super easy to follow and first time knitter friendly. Karen is super helpful whenever I have questions. Not to mention this bonnet is super cute. The yarn is so soft and warm and the color is also great. I will be on my second one soon!
I'm a beginner at knitting, and I absolutely love this kit!
The yarn is incredibly soft and fluffy, with a beautiful color that makes it feel extra special. I highly recommend this kit to anyone looking to knit a nice design and quality
Finished it in a week and loved working on it!! The yarn is so fluffy and soft so it took me a while to get used to but the instructions and videos were perfect for helping me create my first bonnet.
Makes me excited for winter so I can wear it more.
I made the bonnet in the yellow colour and I absolutely love it! 💛 The instructions were super easy to follow, and the video tutorials were incredibly helpful—so detailed and clear. It’s rare to find a knit kit that comes with this level of support. Gonna be wearing this every day now!
I wanted to love this kit! Supporting smaller knit kits instead of the big corps. But a few reccs and advice for those undertaking this kit.
First off, the colours of the yarn are very different in person. Great to see new photos have been added to the site. The yarn is tricky to work with, as a heads up and you need more stitch markers than are in the kit.
The written pattern doesn't match the video, so you've got to work between the two, and refer to outside sources. The video and the pattern don't provide any detailed instructions, like advising and showing how to identify sides of the piece you're working on, making it a super frustrating guessing game. There aren't clear pictures of the piece anywhere (pattern or online), so hard to guess if you're working correctly (until it's too late!). The written pattern switches between using the stitch names (i.e: ribbing stitch, or saying something like K1, P1) and uses slightly different abbreviations than standard, so guessed it (i.e: SKPO?).
The video has reeeallyy long slow explained sections for easy parts, and no explanation or demonstration of the trickier parts (here's 3mins of stitching down the brim, 10secs for a complex step, and nothing for another step). I'd flip between multiple videos of other bonnet kits to try figure out what I was supposed to be doing with this kit.
I'd still recommend this kit. But first off, watch the whole video (0.5speed) and try map it back to the written instructions. Where the written instructions say "watch the video", it is not actually explained, so you'll need to find alternative sources. Put at 0.25x speed on the parts where there are "transitions" to try figure out how the piece has been moved. Ensure you use markers and note in your working what these mean. "Make sure you finish on a purl row so the next row is a knit row" means only do the purl row, then move onto the reducing stitches steps. There is no video for the final steps, but some other creators have good videos demonstrating the steps.
The branding is super cute.
Hi Briana,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review — we really appreciate your support for small knit kit brands like ours!
We’re sorry to hear parts of the process felt frustrating. This kit is designed for confident beginners, which is why the custom video focuses on trickier steps like picking up stitches for the bonnet body, rather than covering basic techniques like identifying the right and wrong side. That said, we do provide a playlist with beginner-friendly videos for those basics — definitely worth checking out before you start.
Regarding the tools, the kit includes 2 stitch markers and stitch hooks, which are intended to be enough for this project, but we understand that some knitters may prefer to use extras based on their personal knitting style.
Thank you also for flagging the colour difference — we’ve since updated the online photos to appear darker and more accurate, so your feedback was super helpful!
As for SKPO, it’s a standard abbreviation used in knitting, particularly for decreases. There’s also a video in the playlist that shows how to do it step by step.
Thanks again for your honest feedback and for still recommending the kit — we really appreciate it, and hope your next project brings more joy and less guesswork! ✨

As someone who had previously only knit scarves and small pouches, I found the pattern easy to understand and finished it off feeling really confident in my new skills! The yarn itself is super soft and really warm for the autumn/winter months! Overall great kit and the packaging made it feel so cute and special :))
So soft and such a beautiful colour. Definitely will buy again
The mohair in barbie pink is just perfect. Beautidul colour and so soft and springy when knitted up. Almost finished knitting the Moggly Sweater and it's so lovely 😍
The wool is literally like a cloud and am loving seeing it come together as a novice knitter. The tutorials have made me feel like I know what I'm doing and enjoying the sense of achievement and joy that comes with me zen new hobby.Thanks and can't wait to wear it!
Just wish I could afford to buy lots of yarn- so therapeutic for me🥰
I am halfway through my first fried egg jumper and am in love with it! The colour choices are gorgeous and the chunky wool is so fast to knit up and so soft. I haven't knit much but have done a fair bit of crochet. The videos are extremely helpful and how I learn best so thank you for taking time to make them! I am also so happy to learn new stitches and techniques. This would also be amazing as a crafty gift. Can't wait for winter again to wear it
I get easily frustrated by knitting and have never completed a project. However, the clear instructuons and the high quality wool and needles have made making the cardigan a pleasure - even when I need to go back a few rows and fix something.! Would happily recommend this project for a beginner.
Beautiful kit. Lovely wool. Unfortunately not enough wool for project,however this was quickly remedied the lovely people at Knitato without fuss,hence 5 stars
This is the first time I've made a knit and I think it turned out beautifully! I really loved making the cute Wabi Sabi design and I learned so many techniques in the process. I've already ordered some more yarn from Knitato to make another one as a gift for my mum.
