When You Just Need to Complete Something 

As a maker, I love a complicated color work project or a pair of socks on tiny needles. But sometimes, I just need a project that is quick and satisfying. A few years ago, we started working with the brand Loopy Mango because their yarn and projects are focused on just that – quick, satisfying knits that are also super cute and trendy. My team and I have seen an increase in interest this year for their projects, which are soft and cuddly and done almost entirely on huge needles or crochet hooks. They work up quickly and leave you with something that is both satisfying and comforting - the perfect project for a year like this one, am I right?!If you are a complete beginner to knitting, this is one of my favorite projects for this year. It’s cute and also quick to complete! No one will believe that you made it yourself.  The kit includes the yarn, needles, and pattern for this hat. But Loopy Mango also has a great tutorial that works really well for learning from home while quarantined!
