Want to learn to knit? A chunky scarf knitting kit is a perfect beginner project. All the kits include chunky, soft yarn and a pattern. Some also include needles and basic knitting instructions for complete beginners.
Why start with a chunky scarf?
A chunky scarf is a perfect beginner project because:
- a scarf doesn’t require any type of shaping, it’s only cast on, knit, and bind off.
- chunky yarn is easy to work with because the stitches are big and easy to see and knit
- chunky yarn knits up fast which means you’re able to finish a project and see results
Why start with a kit?
When you’re new to knitting it’s a lot to consider when you’re starting a new project. It’s easy to get stuck on things like what to make, which yarn to choose, what pattern to use, and which needles you need.
With a knitting kit, everything is prepared for you, and you can put your energy into knitting instead.
I have gathered a bunch of chunky scarf knitting kits that are all suitable for beginners. Some, like the Scarf out loud kit, is easy enough to make even if you have never knitted before.
Others, like the Affirmation scarf, are more suitable for someone who has mastered the knits and purls and are ready to learn more.
