The Woobles Crochet Kit for Beginners (JoJo the Bunny)

I learned to crochet in October 2022. I learned the single stitch and started to create a basket and then a scarf. I had not done amigurumi's yet and also did not know how to read a pattern. This kit is great for beginners because Justine is amazing with her tutorials and she will literally go step by step with a tutorial to teach you how to do the stitches and how to read a pattern. I know people that can crochet but don't know how to read a pattern. I have recommended the woobles to them and even as experienced crocheters, they bought the kits and found them fun and really helpful. I bought this one first on Amazon and I've purchased the rest on the actual woobles website. They do have coupons from time to time, they also have limited edition kits which you can sign up for their text alerts to be notified of pre-sales. I have purchased at least five more kits since purchasing this one. This was the first one I did and this is the most basic one that the woobles has so it will teach you everything step by step. When you get to beginner plus, it may not give you everything step by step but you can still look up the videos on the Woobles website for a refresher. So what are you paying for with this price? You were paying for pretty much a teacher. You are paying for yarn that will not easily split or fray which is really helpful for beginners or just people frustrated with splitting or fraying yarn. Most kits come with a crochet hook. You can also purchase them on their website without a hook sometimes. You're paying for the entire package which includes a lesson on how to create the cute little character that you have purchased, the means to make the character and the confidence that you will now have after learning to create this cute little creature. Is it a bit on the expensive side? Yes at first glance, but when you think about how much you get out of it, the price fits the package. If you have been thinking about buying the woobles products, I highly recommend them. Any of them! They are so fun and you feel really good after creating one of these little creatures that maybe you thought you couldn't do before. And you have access to that pattern and the videos on the website forever. You can also use the patterns after you learn, to use different yarn and maybe make a bigger character. You use the same pattern, you just use a bigger yarn so while you may not have enough yarn to make two little friends, you could either buy more yarn on Amazon or buy a different yarn that you like and make more!

Absolutely love my Wooble! As someone who’s never touched yarn before, this kit made me feel so confident right away. The penguin project was exactly what I wanted, easy enough for a novice but still fun and cute. The materials are top-notch: soft yarn that’s easy on the hands, and the crochet hook included is perfectly sized. The instructions are clear and simple, with step-by-step photos and videos that made it feel like I had a friend guiding me through each stitch.

I had been thinking about getting into crocheting so when I saw this kit being advertised I decided I would finally give it a go and then see how we do from there to decide if this would be something for me hobby wise. The kit does come with everything you need, access to videos on how to kinda read the patterns if you come across this abbreviation for a knot and what it means, video demonstrations or just the pattern for you to read. In the beginning I thought this was really good and I loved the videos, but I slowly started to dislike it the furthur we went because at some point the videos will stop and it just directs you into the direction of "you are on your own now, fly little bird!" which made me panic because as a beginner it's like wait a minute don't just leave me half way! And then when it does leave you on your own it never tells you "OKAY this is what you should have in the end" which I think would have helped greatly to know because during alot of this process, I thought certain parts didn't look right, but I had nothing to know if I had done it right or not so i was left thinking just "trust the process I guess" Which I shouldn't have, because of course as a beginner you are going to make mistakes, it just is frustrating when you don't know it till it's too late. For me it was pretty much everything, but every mistake I made I just tried to figure out "how do I save this" I didnt realize till I had finished the LAST part of this kit (which is the mane) that I had messed up on the body I made him too chunky, so the mane didn't fit, I never figured out the ears because it didn't give me a video for it just instructions, but when I followed the instructions, it did not look at ALL even remotely like an ear or anything, and again nothing to show me this it should look, so i had to look at a completly different tutorial for that because one specific knot technique was tripping me up and it was apart of the ears and body. They show you a video on how to do it but not how to go from one different knot to the next, because you have to put the needle in specific locations with certain knots so I could only assume I was doing it right because again it never really tells you The videos are mostly also generic, I thought the videos would all be on how to make the lion, but that's not ALWAYS the case. When I had to attach the ears it showed me a video on how to attach a penguin beak. When I had to attach the snout it showed me how to attach a penguin white body part. When it was teaching me how to make the body it wasn't the lions body just generic to this is how you do this knot and this knot Which is, not helpful to me. You can say well it's just teaching you how to attach any part needed for any project but I would have liked as a beginner to know SPECIFICALLY how to attach these little lions parts. And or would have been NICE to know from the get go this should be the body! Messed up sewing in the snout and just had to figure it out, along with the nose because for the nose it teaches you where to put the needle in twice then speeds the video up saying "okay now fill it in" and I'm over here on the back like DONT SPEED IT UP HOW DO I FILL IN?!" And i just figured it out after messing up so much that I couldn't undo or take back where I put the needle so just had to commit. Overall the kit is great for giving you all the stuff needed for the project and good for teaching you how to do the different techniques and knots. As a step by step guide on how to make this character..not so much..Unless you have some experience prior I'm sure it's easy peasy but for beginner it will be alot of trial and error and just commiting through with mistakes and just trying to work around the issue. Its still fun, just don't get discouraged and keep at it. I would probably recommend getting the penguin set since there seems to be more videos on him if you want more of a step by step video guide, but if you are okay with learning the basics and just going on your own then I think this is good

I’m not into crafting and have never crocheted before but I saw these and thought they looked cute. I started and was obsessed!! The instructions / little videos are so easy to follow and the penguin is just so cute. I couldn’t stop until I’d finished! I even had enough thread left to make myself a mini penguin using my own pattern guesswork. LOVE this. Great gift or just something different to treat yourself to

This is a great beginner kit for crochet. I had no experience with crochet and ended up with a cute gift for a friend’s birthday! It definitely was a challenge but just enough to keep going. Here was my experience that I wish someone had shared with me to make sure I wasn’t completely off: 1) Started with the pre-started magic circle. Super confused with the stitches initially, as you jump immediately into the “increase stitch” which is two single crochet stitches on the same “v” hole. The video walks you through the first couple rounds and it’s intimidating to go by yourself. Felt like I was in over my head! I made a couple mistakes and ended up “frogging” - removing all the stitches I made a few times. TIP: Don’t be afraid to restart - the starter piece does not unravel! You just have to look out for the “v” since the stitch marker is removed. I also completed Pierre over a few days (2+ hours a day, total 8+ hours?) and felt my muscle memory improved! 2) Counting stitches is really confusing initially. Definitely write it down as the videos advise! TIP: Don’t forget to put your stitch marker in each round! When I got faster, I forgot and had to undo a bit to count everything again. 3) Right before you stuff the body and start the decrease stitches, it will look kinda big. This is normal. Stitching the piece closed with the tapestry needle was less intimidating than I thought it would be. 4) The white tummy was initially frustrating, there was always a hole no matter how tight I did the “easier” method. I clicked “help” and ended up doing the magic circle which was less difficult than I thought because of the step by step. TIP: For the magic circle, make the slip knot, chain stitch, and crochet stitches bigger than your regular stitches as they will become smaller when you pull it to make a circle! (I got really frustrated initially as I couldn’t put my hook through, and loosening the stitches helped) 5) Sewing the tummy to the body - redid this a few times to make sure it was really centralized between the eyes, and at the right height! 6) Beak - another magic circle! With experience under my belt, I took my time to try to do this from memory, made a lot of mistakes, and really absorbed the concept. Remember to turn the piece inside out. 7) Wings - a little complicated as it incorporates chain stitches, turns, and slightly more 3D. TIP: When you start to sew the wing flat at stitches 1&2, put a stitch marker across stitches 7&8 as it will become harder to see them. Make sure you follow the instructions on attaching the piece correctly each time. If you’re a stickler, make the wing pieces first before sewing on - mine ended up slightly different sizes but it adds to the charm (and I was so happy to be done!) 8) HOOKED! Ended up giving the piece to a friend and tried to make a second Pierre. Didn’t have enough yarn by round 10 so I had to give it up and make a tiny one! Thinking about getting Wooble. Bought regular yarn and ohhhh easy peasy yarn is SO much easier to work with. Thanks Woobles for introducing me to this hobby! Experienced crocheters may consider this pricey but for a total beginner like me this was a great kit to not have to think about getting all the yarn colors, correctly sized hook, yarn, and eye pieces! Looking at other free tutorials and patterns as my next step, none of them are as straightforward. Big kudos to Woobles!

The yarn, hook, and other findings are of good quality. The video tutorials are clear and the pattern is easy to read (but has NO pictures). Not the worst kit, but it's overall expensive for what it is. It seems like you mostly are paying for the labor of putting a magic ring in the bag. 1) They teach amigurumi with yarn overs instead of yarn unders. Which is fine if you are just learning to crochet, but you end up with gaps in the final product. I had to size down my hook and fuss with my tension a lot. I'm including a picture comparing yarn under vs. Yarn over. The one that has safety eyes is the one I used what I know about amigurumi (yarn under, sizing down hooks) and the project looks way nicer. The one done with the tutorial instructions is fine, but it's not going to hold up to being handled very often, it's more misshapen, and does have some gaps. 2) The "easy beginner" yarn is just thin tshirt yarn that's woven around a polifill core. It's good quality and the colors are beautiful, but it's terrible for making plushies because it stretches and it's hard to maintain a good tension. It doesn't have fibers to fill in the gaps and you end up needing to go way tighter than you would with a regular yarn. If you really like the designs, it might be worth grabbing them. I personally won't be purchasing another kit, but I'm not a beginner! If these kits get people to learn how to crochet, they aren't bad. Just a tad overpriced in my opinion.

I love this kit! I love the set by set videos. I love how cute the birdie turns out. I love how easy they make it for you to learn how to crotchet. The thickness is perfect and is very fun. It’s great quality and worth the price.

Buon kit, completo e pratico da utilizzare

I love everything Woobles! If you are learning to crochet use one of their kits! If you have tried to learn before and failed (like me), use their kits! If you just want high quality amigurumi kits, look no further. I can’t wait to buy more!

My daughter liked her and had a good time at her work and it was very easy to explain it in the video in detail

I absolutely loved making this. I've tried crochet before but struggled to understand. Most of the videos broke down the steps into easy chunks, and repeatedly showed different stitches to help. I also have plenty of wool left over so I might even be able to make another. So what didn't I like? Once you finish the body, the videos don't provide as much help. There's one video on how to make a circle, but 5 on a regular stitch (I'm sure you can guess which ones harder), and at times the subtitles blocked the screen, meaning I couldn't see what I needed to do

This kit was extremely helpful! All the materials included and the detailed videos to help you learn. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn.
