Simple Garter Stitch Beanie – Complete Beginner Knitting Kit
Designed by Tilde Olsen
Learn to knit your very first project with this Simple Garter Stitch Beanie Knitting Kit – the perfect place to start your knitting journey. Designed especially for complete beginners, this easy knitting kit will teach you all the basics while you create a cosy, stylish beanie you’ll be proud to wear.
The Simple Garter Stitch Beanie is knitted sideways using only the knit stitch, creating a soft, ribbed texture. You’ll sew it up at the back and gather the top to shape the crown – a simple and satisfying process for new knitters.
This chunky knitting kit uses super chunky merino wool and 10mm wooden needles, ideal for beginners. The thick yarn and large needles make it easy to see and handle your stitches, helping you learn quickly and build confidence. Plus, the chunky wool knits up fast, so you’ll see results after just a few rows.
You’ll learn the basic core skills every knitter needs:
- Casting on
- The knit stitch
- Casting off
By the end, you’ll have mastered the essentials of knitting and created a warm, beautifully textured chunky beanie hat.
The kit complements The Orry Mill Yarn School’s “Complete Beginner Knitting – Part One” video course, which guides you step by step through your first project. (Link opens in a new window.)
