Creativity for KidsQuick Knit Loom Unicorn Plushie - Knitting Craft Kit for Kids - Create a DIY Unicorn Plush Toy

UPDATE: I realized after I had posted my review & pictures before that the rainbow hat I had made was actually inside out...Yikes!!! So after having reversed the hat & carefully removing the pom poms & then replacing them back onto the hat again, I am soooooo much happier with how it looks now & although I thought it looked great before, I see that the weave looks so much better now & that the rim of the hat now "curls" outwards & upwards like it should!! Being that I am totally new to this loom knitting thing & despite my initial mistake with accidentally placing the pom poms on what was actually supposed to be the inside on the hat ....I am very glad that my mistake was one that was very easily fixable & I am super happy with how the hat turned out in the end....I even posted 2 new updated pics to show the difference in how it looks from my original ones!!(My original review is below:)So Lately I have taken a keen interest in learning to knit & crochet....and I have recently been buying several different kinds of beginners & kids level knitting & crocheting sets to learn. This rainbow pom pom hat & cup cozy knitting loom kit is really cute & seemed like a great way to start my first ever round loom knitting projects especially as I had never used an actual round knitting loom before. This kit being aimed for kids to use seemed like a perfectly unintimidating place for me to start. I found that the directions were very easy to follow & the loom, the tools & the yarn are all of excellent quality. I really enjoyed the whole process & was very excited as my initial project started taking shape....and I was cheered on & encouraged by my hubby & our 2 girls (who at this time are not at all interested in learning knitting but are very creative in drawing & painting type art) so they all were so happy when I very successfully completed both the rainbow pom pom hat & cup cozy projects with no problems at all. This was lots of fun for me to use & I am really pleased with how they both came out & they even look very much like the pictures on the box!! They give you plenty of yarn to do both of these projects & I still have enough left over to use to make another small size item. The hat size is exactly as it should be & even though my hubby's noggin is a larger size than what this hat is made for, he was still able to fit it on to wear for a photo opportunity....Lol. The cup cozy worked out perfect too....although the instructions are easy to follow, I did go to the manufacturer's web tutorial they have for these projects to watch a video on making the cup cozy just to double-check that I was looming it correctly....which I was!! The loom & the tools in this kit are all very well made & sturdy & I will be using them all to make several more various knitted items in the future as well, so this kit is an excellent value which has so much more use after you finish the hat & cup cozy....now I can't wait to buy some more yarn and create some more!! :)Separate Review below is for the Hat Not Hate Knitting Kit:For some reason I can't do a separate review on it's own for the Hat Not Hate Knit Hats Kit, but I also wanted to include a review plus pictures for that one as well. I would give this kit 4 stars rather than 5 if I could because unlike the Rainbow Pom Pom Hat & Cup Cozy kit, this Hat Not Hate kit had several loose wobbly pegs on the loom that I had to contend with & unfortunately I hadn't realized how problematic that was until after I had already started several rows of my first HNH hat. At one point I did have a peg pop out of the loom, but luckily since the yarn was wound throughout the loom, it kept it from completely falling out & so I had managed to push it back in place as best I could. I managed to finish that hat by having to securely counter-press on each of the loose pegs as I came to them as I was working since otherwise I was worried I would have a catastrophe & lose all of my work!! The Rainbow Hat & Cup Cozy's loom is of a much better quality & is so much more sturdy & solid to work with.....not one loose peg on it even after using it to finish my second Hat Not Hat hat (since fortunately it is the same exact size) & another different hat as well. So other than trying to superglue those loose pegs of the Hat Not Hate loom into place, I don't really see how I could get any further work done using the Hat Not Hate loom which is very unfortunate. The other issue I had with the HNH kit was that one skein out of the four I had received in the kit was an absolute nightmare to work with. There must have been some sort of manufacturing problem with it because even though it was wrapped & banded (so it was definitely not pre-used) the yarn was so tangled, mangled & knotted on the inside of the skein that I had spent over an hour & a half trying to get it sorted out.....on the outside of the skein it looked completely fine & new, but the inside yarn was the big problem & unfortunately I had only realized this after I had already started several rows into my first Hat Not Hate hat!! The other 3 skeins of yarn in the Hat Not Hate kit are fine though & so the second HNH hat that I had made using the other kit's loom I had made with no problems whatsoever. So my first HNH hat made using the defective yarn & loose-pegged loom was not really a great or fun experience for me although I do feel that the hat did turn out pretty good considering all the obstacles I had to deal with....in comparison, the second HNH hat I made using a different loom & another skein of HNH kit yarn that was included & not defective was a breeze to make & turned out excellent! I really appreciate & support the anti-bullying stance that Hat Not Hate stands for.....and despite the issues I had with those 2 items in this kit, the hats both turned out great in the end & they will both be very proudly worn!!!! :)

My child has spent hours creating a hat with this kit, with little frustration. The loom works great and the yarn is high quality. The step by step instructions also are easy to follow. We will definitely be purchasing more yarn to continue to use beyond this kit.

I bought this kit for my 6 year old daughter who really wanted to try knitting. She understood how to use the tools but got bored soon. It’s a good activity for an older girl, maybe a 10 year old. This kit is producing a child sized hat. I don’t think it will fit an adult unless you have a small head. I had fun finishing my daughter’s project. The colours are so vibrant, the instruction is easy to understand, tools are easy to use and the hat doesn’t take long to make. I am thinking about buying the blue hat kit next

This product was good but not amazing. It came with all the supplies and everything. I wish it had more detailed instructions. The delivery driver who delivered this was super sweet.

I gave this to my granddaughter for Christmas. She has been asking me to teach her to knit and when I discovered this Learn to Knit kit, I decided to get it for her. This morning we sat down and I showed her how to use it. The larger needles and heavier yarn make it easier to teach someone and the different colored needles are ingenious. She is 9 years old and after about fifteen minutes of me showing her what to do, she was knitting all by herself. Great kit!

I have been crocheting for many years and my hands would hurt so much so I had to stop. When I was younger I tried to learn knitting but the casting on seemed so complicated and tedious that I stopped learning and moved to crochet. Even with low expectations this kit taught me the quick basics. And it was actually enjoyable and easy. I made only a few changes instructions say 12 stitches the box shows about 15. So I did 15 this is probably so u get a decent length because at 15 stitches it would seem a bit short so I didn’t sow the pockets. I do like a longer scarf so for me it was nicer with out the pockets. The yarn is really soft. And the two different needles does actually help to learn as well as having a nice thicker yarn. I actually completed a knit project and I couldn’t be happier. I think the price is very good. I didnt even use the extras. There is a nice label to sow on and I used my own needle to sow in the ends. But it does come with everything u need to get started. U only need something sharp to cut the excess yarn off.

We bought this kit for our child for Christmas, and he is so excited! We realized right away that the loom is missing a peg, but since he was so excited to start using it, we made do by inserting a straw into that spot. It keeps coming loose, and it's not ideal, but it was enough to let him get started on Christmas. We contacted the manufacturer about a replacement and they would not provide one. Now we cannot return it to Amazon, because we've started using it already--our 7-year-old would be crushed if we had to undo his knitting to return the loom in order to get a replacement. Otherwise, it's really a great kit, and his little hands have already mastered the knitting process on the loom. We're hoping for a replacement loom so we don't have to mess around with this straw we tried to insert in place of the missing peg.

Bought this for my granddaughters as a gift. Kept them occupied and they had something to show for their efforts. Great product.

My 8 year old can do it all on her own. Super cute

Started knitting and got this for my 5 yr old. It was a hit and they were actually able to knit very well with it. Would recommend.

Funcional

Mi hija adora este producto.

I bought this for myself, and really learnt to knit after following the instructions. Highly recommended for both children and adults. Money well-spent!
