Jo keeps warm knitting kit

Today I am sharing my December blog post for my monthly sponsor at the blogger network of Minerva crafts. I have made a very toasty kit to keep you warm in the coming months. 

There is a hat...

 

and ankle or wrist warmers.

The yarn is so warm but light and airy. There is a clever way to make a flower without knitting or crocheting...

You tie thread at even intervals along the yarn and then using a threaded needle, gather up the marked points putting the needle under the tied thread and it makes a flower by securing it in the middle.

 

If you are new to knitting, this is a great way to make something quick and successful. You can view other colours of King Cole Super Chunky Ultimate at Minerva Crafts too. The one I used was called Moorland. The balls are 100g and you use a set of 12mm and 15mm needles and one set comes in the kit. The pattern is for 7-9 years, 9-12 yrs or adult.

You get four balls so you can make at least two things or the jumbo bag which I haven't finished but is looking great so far. The bag uses 4 balls, the hat 1, the ankle warmers 2 and the wrist warmers 2. 

Maybe learning to knit is going to be your new years resolution?

 Anyway, best keep warm, thanks Minerva. 
Wishing you all a Happy New Year wherever you are in the world!
Love Jo x
