Coco the Ape Hæklesæt

The step-by-step video lessons are a lifesaver—I paused and replayed them constantly, and somehow my ape actually looks like the picture. The yarn is pre-cut and easy to handle, so I had my finished little buddy in about three evenings.

I was nervous I'd never finish it, but the video tutorials made each stitch so easy to follow that I actually completed Coco in two evenings. The yarn is pre-looped and color-coded, which saved me from a ton of frustration as a total newbie.

The step-by-step videos walked me through every single loop without once making me feel lost, and the yarn itself is so soft and easy to grip that my first ape actually came out looking like an ape instead of a lump. I finished Coco in about four sittings and I've already ordered a second kit.
