The Design:
The Easy Duo Kit by Brooknit Bonneterie is the perfect path for beginners to start knitting in the round and practice their basic stitches.
This kit is designed to knit two simple items: a beanie and a cowl. You have all you need in the kit to knit any two: 2 matching beanies, 1 beanie & 1 cowl, or 2 cowls. Both the beanie and the cowl are lightweight items, perfect to keep the chill of mid-seasons at bay.
The instructions are written for various sizes to choose from, ranging from newborns (for the beanie) to adults. For safety reasons, the cowl is not recommended for the youngest children.
They are pretty straightforward to knit, and you will get results and feel proud in no time!
Both the beanie and the cowl are lightweight items, perfect to keep the chill of mid-seasons at bay.
The Process:
They are both knitted in the round. They are perfect for experimenting with circular knitting: you knit in the round, without a seam or turning your project.
They are “worry-free” projects: basic stitches and textures, requiring just the right amount of attention to keep them entertaining to make, and solid items to be proud.
You can access the videos to find the tutorials and how-to if you have any doubts.
