Knitwear Designer is a beginners' knitting kit that includes a pair of single-ended wooden knitting needles, a plastic yarn sewing needle, six small skeins of brightly-colored yarns, a set of embellishments (e.g. beads and sequins), a soft doll, and instructions for basic knitting skills, including patterns to make knitted clothes and accessories for the doll.

Unfortunately, projects usually presented to beginners tend to be large, repetitive, and overwhelming, and it is common for beginners to give up before accomplishing anything (as this beginner can attest from personal experience!). The doll-sized projects in this kit are small and easily completed, giving the beginning knitter a sense of accomplishment and the motivation to continue.
