YOUR FIRST KNIT STARTS HERE 🧶

If you've always wanted to learn to knit but didn't know where to begin, this is the kit I'd choose.

Our Absolute Beginners Scarf Kit comes with not one but two patterns, so you can pick your own path — start with the simple garter-stitch scarf to learn the basics, then try the textured basketweave version when you're feeling a bit more confident.

Made using our beautifully soft Cheeky Chunky yarn, your scarf will grow quickly on the needles — so you'll feel that "I made this!" moment sooner than you think.

And to make sure you never feel stuck, every kit includes a FREE beginner workshop — join us live and ask questions as you go, or watch on demand whenever suits you.

Everything you need to go from "I've never knitted before" to "look what I made" 🧡

Which scarf would you start with — garter stitch or basketweave? Let us know below 👇

LAYER UP WITH THE CHUNKY CABLE PONCHO 🍂

There's a certain kind of joy that comes with making your own layers for the season ahead — and this one might just become your new favourite.

Our Chunky Cable Poncho Knitting Kit creates a beautifully textured piece with a statement central cable, a relaxed drape, and an easy-to-wear shape that's perfect over tops, shirts or lightweight jumpers.

Made using beautifully soft and warm chunky yarn, it has a wonderfully substantial texture while still being lovely and comfortable to wear — and thanks to the chunky yarn and larger needles, this one grows satisfyingly quickly too.

This easy-level kit is ideal if you're comfortable with the basics and want to develop your cable-knitting and garment-making skills — the simple shape makes it such an achievable introduction to your first cable garment.

Choose your favourite yarn colour and make it completely your own. Once finished, you'll have a versatile handmade layer to reach for right through autumn, winter and those cooler spring days.

PUT YOUR FEET UP 🧦🧶

Because some days just call for slow mornings, relaxing evenings and nothing else on the agenda.

Meet our new Chunky Slipper Socks Knitting Kit — knitted in beautifully soft and warm merino wool, these are the ultimate handmade comfort for chilly toes, whether you're curled up with a book or just pottering about at home.

They're knitted in the round from the cuff down using double-pointed needles, so they're a lovely project if you're comfortable with the basics and want to develop your skills — you'll practice working in the round and even pick up a cable along the way. Easy-level, but with just enough new to keep it interesting.

Available in two sizes and 19 gorgeous colours, so you can make a pair that's completely you — or a thoughtful handmade gift for someone who deserves cosy feet this winter.

A LITTLE PERSONAL TOUCH FOR COSY EVENINGS 🔤🧶

We've just added the sweetest personal detail to one of our favourite winter essentials — meet the Monogram Hot Water Bottle Cover.

Knitted in our soft and warm chunky merino wool, this cover has that lovely substantial texture we love, with a practical tie fastening and — the best bit — your own initial knitted right onto the front. It's such a simple detail, but it turns an everyday winter essential into something that feels completely yours.

Choose your colours, choose your letter, and you've got yourself a design that's entirely personal. It's an easy-level knit too, so whether you're picking it up for yourself or making it as a gift, it's a lovely one to get stuck into.

Perfect for a birthday, Christmas, a new home — or simply because you fancy a little handmade warmth this season.
