Cozy Beanie
Once you’ve mastered the basics, a beanie is your next step. Don’t worry—it’s still beginner-friendly, and the final result is a soft, light, and warm hat you’ll actually use.
Why it’s perfect for beginners:
- Small and quick to finish.
- Great introduction to knitting it the round.
- Perfect winter essential.
Recommended yarn: Super Air Yarn (80% Baby alpaca,20% polyamide) by Alpalove – cloud-like softness and durability.
Easy Throw Blanket
If you’re ready for a slightly bigger project, a throw blanket is still beginner-friendly—it’s just a larger rectangle. Simple stitches turn into a luxury piece for your home.
Why it’s perfect for beginners:
- Straightforward and repetitive.
- Meditative process.
- Becomes a centerpiece in your living room.
Recommended yarn: Worsted Alpaca Yarn by Alpalove – lightweight, warm, and long-lasting.
Tools You Need to Start Knitting
Before you begin, make sure you have:
- A pair of knitting needles (US size 8–10 works for most beginners).
- A yarn needle for finishing.
- Stitch markers (optional but helpful).
- Soft, natural yarn like alpaca—gentle on the skin, breathable, and sustainable.
Knitting is more than creating—it’s an act of love. Every stitch brings you closer to a cozy scarf, a beanie for winter walks, or a throw blanket to share at home. With Alpalove yarns, you’re working with fibers that are soft, sustainable, and made to last.
