Creativity for Kids Quick Knit Loom Kit - Knitting Kit for Kids, Make Your Own Pom Pom Hat and Accessories, Knitting Loom Crafts for Kids

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!!!! :)

Great kit for beginners easy instructions

My Grandaughter loved knitting on this. It was of good quality and a great price.

This is a nice little kit for beginning knitters and children. However, learning to use it is a bit difficult and it takes some practice. The instructions are not clear (at least not to me) as they are pictures and not detailed. I needed to work with it for quite some time before I could show the child I bought it for how to use it. Even then, the skills of a 5 year old may not be good enough or this kit. In all fairness the package does say for 7 or older. The kit comes complete but the needle is in a small little package that could be overlooked when the kit is unpacked unless a person is looking for it specifically. Also, the small needs and the hook could be an injury risk for smaller children. If you have younger children in the house adult supervision of the parts is important.

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

Bought this for my 6 year old grandson and he loves it. We used the yarn that came with it as a practice hat, and it came together very quickly. I will be buying more yarn of like thickness so he can make additional beanies.

Was gift

I bought this for my boyfriend's niece after she showed a huge interest in knitting. She had issues holding regular needles so I thought this would be a great compromise. One thing that I was a little disappointed in was the book that came with. I didn't feel it offered much to help explain what was going on. Good thing I was there to help her out. She did take to this much easier and had a partial hat done by the time I left Christmas morning. (Which loom knitting in general is much easier. You don't have to worry about your project falling off because of how secure it generally is on the loom. And to me it makes for a faster knitting project that keeps consistency). If you are getting this product I suggest making sure you are familiar with how it works or be ready with some you tube links for instructions. A couple of the pegs fell off as well when she was looking over the looms. I helped to fix them back in, but it has made me a little concerned about a peg coming off mid project.

I bought it for my 8yrs daughter and she loves it. We did a hat and a small bag together. Easy to use. Diffently helpful.

Funcional
