Wolf Cardigan Knit Kit (Project Hail Mary Version)

Newbie Knitter Having So Much FUN

It’s my first time following a pattern to knit something, and of course I am doing this because of PHM! But the pattern is pretty easy to follow and I’m making good progress- two sleeves done! Amaze amaze amaze! I bought the kit, and it comes with everything needed except for needles, which I appreciated so I could find a style of needle that work for me. I will probably be a lifelong Mary Maxim pattern purchaser now! If you’re on the fence and have beginner to intermediate knitting skills, try it. I was able to figure it out!

Fun pattern, great kit

The pattern itself has been a really interesting challenge, as my first colorwork piece. It's just the right amount of challenge without being overwhelming. The kit is great, it had just enough yarn for everything, and some leftover for my first few mistakes! It didn't come with any closure (buttons/zipper), but I'm actually glad for that, as I'm quite picky with that sort of thing and am happy to find my own. Overall, I'm very glad to have purchased and knitted the whole thing! Definitely recommend, and I was thrilled to be able to support a MI brand.

Pattern Could Be Better

The pattern needs to have numbered rows. The grid lines are hard to see so you have to look very, very carefully at points to count the number of stitches. For an already slow knitter, this causes me to be even slower. I’m not a fan of the rust yarn. It splits constantly and the color just seems off. The site didn’t mention a zipper isn’t included. Hoping someone creates a video tutorial. I am determined to finish this one.
