To get DIYers into the holiday spirit, We Are Knitters unveiled a selection of new kits as a part of its 'Bling Bling Winter Collection.'

The kits that comprise the collection spotlight [tinsel-intertwined yarn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlos-souffl-yarn), giving the pieces a festive shimmery look. The Sapphire Beanie, Emerald Cardigan, and Alexandrite Sweater are rated as Easy, meaning that the [knitting patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christina-fair-isle-cardigan) only require one to two stitch changes, and are otherwise relatively simple to make with little previous experience. Like all of We Are Knitters' kits, the Bling Bling Winter Collection comes with easy-to-follow instructions, all the yarn needed to create the piece in the selected color, and if needed, knitting needles.

With holiday celebrations expected to be much different this year in line with COVID-19 restrictions, We Are Knitters' kits are perfect gifting options for those looking to adopt a [new hobby](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craft-starter-kit).
