To facilitate the acquaintance with this type of needlework and sincerely love it, special needlework sets were created.

Knitting kits are created specifically for beginners and allow you to make simple, but solid and high-quality products with your own hands.

They are often bought for girls 7-10 years old, thus trying to accustom them to needlework.

Among the crochet kits, the following models received the best user reviews.

A set for creating a scarf will be a good gift for a schoolgirl... The set includes 4 skeins of high quality yarn, a steel hook, a plastic needle, and a round platform on which the loops are strung.

The set is packed in a colorful gift box with a blister stand. It will be a great way to develop fine motor skills of hands and teach a young craftswoman to create bright scarves for all her family and friends. Of the minuses, insufficiently large skeins of yarn are distinguished. In addition, users note that it can be difficult to adapt to the machine.

Kits for creating knitted toys in the form of caterpillars are sold under this trademark. There is everything you need for this:

• yarn in three colors;
• bamboo hook;
• a set of threads for decorating a face;
• detailed instructions with pictures in Russian.

The elements are knitted in a circle, after which they are stuffed with filler and sewn one by one.

A little life hack: if you add tweeters to the balls, the toy will be much more effective.

Users highlight the high quality of the yarn - it is hypoallergenic and pleasant to the touch. However, such a set costs over 2 thousand rubles, while the filler will have to be purchased separately. However, if sustainability is your top priority, this set will be the best solution.

Another interesting set for creating toys using a crochet hook. Here you can find cubs, dogs, pandas and many other animals. The kit includes polypropylene yarn, a hook, and a user manual in Russian.

The finished products are dense, very colorful and bright.... However, the quality of the yarn is poor, so the craft in some places turns out to be too thin... In addition, the filler will have to be bought separately - its consumption for one product measuring 15x12 is only 100 g, usually synthetic fluff or holofiber is used.

They allow you to create stylish and warm clothes. The most popular among beginners are scarves and hats.

This set includes Australian merino yarn. It has a completely natural origin, pleasant to the touch, hypoallergenic... The resulting product does not prick or irritate the skin, therefore it can be used by a child.

For knitting, beech knitting needles with a diameter of 25 mm are used, they are varnished for easier gliding of the loops. The line has a steel core covered with a PVC braid. In the course of work, it does not get confused and does not tear the yarn. The set includes interchangeable options with different lengths of 40, 50, 60, as well as 80 and 100 cm.

Users think that the price of the set is too high... However, this is fully justified by the exceptional quality of the yarn itself and all components. The set will be a good gift for a teenage girl. And the snoods themselves have been at the height of fashion for several seasons and are an indispensable thing in capricious weather.

This set can be used by those who are just taking their first steps in knitting. It includes 6 skeins of fluffy yarn, safety plastic knitting needles and a detailed work diagram.Using such a set, a young craftswoman will be able to create scarves, bags, belts and headbands.

All of them are distinguished by bright, but delicate colors, they are hypoallergenic, do not irritate the skin and do not cause discomfort. The sets are recommended for children from 8 years old.

However, it was not without its drawbacks. The edges of the knitting needles are a little dull, so it can be very difficult to fold the loops. In addition, the cost of the kit cannot be called democratic.

Nevertheless, the set is very popular, since the imagination of the young creator is not limited by anything. The child can create the most unusual things, and if something went wrong, just dissolve them and start over. Moreover, the number of skeins and their length are allowed to carry out the most daring experiments with patterns and colors.

This brand offers a rich selection of kits for creating stylish hats. The collection is presented in sets based on delicate thick Peruvian yarn in different colors. Attached is a user manual, which describes in detail all the basic steps of work and the number of loops for creating hats of different sizes. It is noteworthy that when ordering a set from the manufacturer, you can exclude the needles, if you already have them.

Among the shortcomings, the lack of decorative accessories for decorating ready-made hats and nondescript packaging are noted. Therefore, such sets are rarely bought as a gift, but they are irreplaceable for personal use.

When choosing a set for creativity, the material of the accessories plays an important role. So, on the knitting needles made of metal, the loops begin to slip. In addition, with prolonged knitting, they leave a dark mark on the fingers. In this case, it is better to give preference to models whose edges are covered with a special button.

Wooden knitting needles are more fragile, they have a rough surface. On the one hand, this is good because the hinges do not slide off the edge. But on the other hand, too delicate and thin yarn is damaged in contact with an unpolished surface, and the finished product turns out to be untidy.

As for the threads, everything is individual here. It can be natural wool or acrylic synthetics. When choosing a set for children, it is better to give preference to materials of natural origin.

And finally the age of the user. Most of the art kits are recommended for girls from 7 years old. This does not mean at all that they should not be offered to babies 5-6 years old, but in this case, parents should be ready to help the craftswomen and explain to them how to use the working schemes correctly. At first, it is best to choose the simplest baby kits with safe plastic hooks and special platforms for loops.
