Ten best knitting kits

Breakfast stripes

If you're looking for a quick project, these little egg cosies are perfect. The kit comes with two balls of Norwegian wool, and clear instructions (you'll need to supply your own needles). Because the various designs for the egg cosies involve stripes, cables or intarsia,  this is an excellent kit for practising different knitting skills. We love the other knitting kits at Purl 1, too: check out the website for everything from tea cosies to cushions to gloves, which will test advanced knitters' skills with more intricate cabling and intarsia. The designs are all bright, modern and come in a gorgeous range of colours.
