Knitato Beanie Box (Kit for 2 Beanies)

I wanted to share my experience for a more balanced view. I purchased this kit, along with several others, expecting it to be suitable for an absolute beginner, but it turned out to be a great challenge. While Knitaro was very responsive and a great help, I found the main instructional playlist focused more on the 'how-to' rather than 'how-to-fix' aspects, and as a beginner, I make a lot of mistakes. The yarn, although truly beautiful and fluffy, is fragile and difficult for a beginner to handle. It's prone to breaking, which means I not only have to follow the instructions closely but also be mindful of the yarn's delicacy. Too loose and the project fails, too tight and the yarn breaks. And the yarn's inconsistent thickness just added more stress. Some parts seem so stressed out thin that it looks like it can break at any point (spoiler: It did several times). Also, be prepared for a lot of fur shedding during your practice. My advice for those who usually buy in bulk like myself, is to start with just 1 kit to see how it goes. I now find myself with 2 unused kits and a lot of yarn scattered around my room lol

The beanie box was perfect with all that’s needed. The customer service was excellent and responsive to all my questions big and small! Came together really well, can’t wait to make the second beanie!

This was my first time knitting and I was really happy with how the beanies turned out. The videos were so helpful and the instructions easy to follow. The yarn and colours are so nice and soft. I loved making these and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to start knitting!

Beautifully presented kit with easy to follow instructions, especially good for my daughter who is a beginner knitter. The finished beanie is really very cool, sized perfectly and very cosy. Great colour choices too.

Karen has been the most helpful, fun and loving business owner. She helped me with my first knitting project and she even answers your questions after hours. She’s fun, I can’t wait to get my hands on the cable mohair kit!
