47816E My First Stitch Cross Stitch Kit, 3", Unicorn

I bought this for my nine year old daughter. The kit itself was great for the price, more than enough thread, fabric, little plastic frame, needle but the instructions were unclear for a beginner who has never done cross stitch. I had to help her and I have never done counted cross stitch before. The instructions also did not tell you how to do one of the stitches necessary to complete the project, but we found that info. on you tube. If you already know how to cross stitch and wanted to use this kit to teach a child it would be fine - very cute.

This does not come with a hoop to hold the fabric while ou Stitch. made it hard for beginners, cute design, and plenty of product to complete job.

I got this for my six year old daughter. She has taken an interest in sewing and thought she would like to learn how to cross stitch as well. Overall the instructions are easy to follow. As a six-year old, she has needed some help, but seems to pick up on it quite quickly. It is a bit smaller than I expected, but that was mostly my fault for not reading the product details better. Overall, I am totally satisfied with my purchase for the reason that I purchased it.

This is small and it is perfect for my daughter's christmas stocking. It will be her first cross stitch and I will update as to how easy it is for beginners. She is almost 12. Either way, it is cute and I am happy with it.I take all of my reviews very seriously, all the opinions are mine and if my opinion about the item changes over time I will update the review.

I bought this for my (adult) sister-in-law who wanted to begin cross stitch. The pattern is cute, but if you're buying this for a REAL beginner (like I did), make sure you're there to actually get them started or send them some YouTube tutorials. A beginner couldn't have started it with the minimal directions on their own. Also, make sure to save enough money to buy them an embroidery hoop, a decent needle, and a needle threader. As far as a kit goes--it has the thread, cloth, and pattern, but that's about it. And the "frame" is laughable at best--it's really just a plastic circle with a cardboard circle that fits in it. HOWEVER, it IS inexpensive and for someone that may or may not like counted cross stitch, a good primer.

great starter kit for someone who's never cross stitched. I have a 9 and 12 year old nieces who want to learn and these are going to be great for helpung them start.

This is a cute little cross stitch pattern for anyone who is interested in learning to do cross stitch or wants a quick, fun project or gift. It works up easily, and who doesn't like cupcakes? It's small size means that it slips easily into a purse or bag for travel. When finished, it would make a nice pin cushion or card, or could decorate a pocket or tote bag. I am making several that will then become part of a doll quilt. All you need to do is open it and start stitching.

Ordered this as a gift for my granddaughter who is just learning to cross stitch. I thought I was ordering the unicorn, which is the image online. However I received a flower kit. Not worth returning for such an inexpensive item. A little disappointing since I think she would prefer the unicorn. Her birthday is later this month so I won't know the quality until we start working on it together. Still looks to be a good first project for an 8 year old.

Inexpensive. Not too complex. A good little starter kit. My daughter loved it.

Cute and made a great gift filter

A perfect stocking filler!

Average. Not as big as I thought

Bought for my 10 year old daughter who wanted to learn how to cross-stitch... super simple and probably double the thread required which is great
