Your first project starts here.
We carry curated knitting and crochet kits for every skill level, plus free and paid patterns by Apricot Yarn owner Sara, and a fully customizable Build Your Own Kit option. Crafted by makers, for makers: every kit and pattern is carefully selected to help you make something you're proud of.
Yes, every kit comes complete with everything you need to finish your project: premium yarn in the exact amount required, the correct size hook or needles, and easy-to-follow written instructions. You won't need to buy anything separately to get started. Some kits include optional add-ons like a project bag or notions, which are noted on the individual kit.
Our Beginner-tagged kits make the best gifts for someone new to knitting or crochet. They're designed to teach core stitches through a simple, satisfying project, so the recipient learns as they go without feeling overwhelmed. Look for kits labeled "Beginner" in the filter above, and consider pairing one with a gift card or project bag. If you're not sure of their skill level, a beginner kit is always a safe, confidence-building choice.
Absolutely. Kits tagged "Beginner" are crafted specifically for people with zero prior experience. They walk you through each stitch step-by-step with clear instructions, using forgiving yarn and needle/hook sizes that make it easier to see your stitches and catch mistakes early. Many first-time knitters and crocheters have learned entirely from our beginner kits.
Yes! In addition to our knitting and crochet kits, we offer in-person classes where you can learn techniques hands-on with guidance from an instructor. Use a class to build confidence before tackling a project on your own.
