The Woobles Beginners Crochet Kit with Easy Peasy Yarn as seen on Shark Tank - with Step-by-Step Video Tutorials - Pierre The Penguin

These are great kits for anyone wanting to start to learn to crochet. I’ve completed 4 of this brand of kit so far. I think the penguin is the perfect kit to start (although I did the bunny first). The penguin is easy enough to do.What I like about Woobles:• The kits come with a pre-started magic ring with your first 3 stitches marked.• The videos are broken into tiny chunks with each step explained and easily watched as many times as necessary.• Most supplies come with the kit, but you will need a pair of scissors.• I’ve never run out of yarn and have always had a decent amount leftover.• You get the pattern when you sign up for their website and can print and make as many more penguins as you want with different colors and styles of yarn. So buy the kit once, make it as many times as you want.Things that could be improved:• A pre-printed pattern card would be nice for anyone that doesn’t want to rely solely on the videos. (Yes, I know you can go into your account and download the pattern, but it would be nice if included). Bonus points if it’s laminated so you can use a dry erase marker on it. I’ve seen this in another kit and that was a game changer for tracking progress.• I’ve seen several other kits include a set of scissors. That’s been nice, especially when they work.• I’ve seen other kits include a bent needle and that would be helpful to add as I find it easier to maneuver.• I’ve seen other kits offer both weighted beads and stuffing and that’s been a nice touch. So far, the kits that I’ve done from Woobles only have stuffing.• Price: compared to other kits, these are on the higher end and do not appear to go on sale or are only discounted 10% or so. I’ve seen other kits, which include more and have decent videos to follow for about $10 less and go on sale 30-40%.Overall: I do love these kits and all of my plushies have turned out great following the instructions provided.

I was a complete beginner, never even touching yarn before. And now I have the cutest penguin! The perfect first kit for a true beginner. The yarn quality was quite nice and there was some left over that could be used in other projects or even to create a second wooble. Would recommend to anyone looking for a new hobby!

This was my first time crocheting, and I’m left-handed. It was super easy, and the videos were detailed and explained everything very well. I really appreciated that there were left-handed tutorials as well, because most kits don’t have that. It was a little overpriced, but a fabulous way to get started. All the designs are super cute. I love my little Pierre!

OK, this is my first ever time crocheting I honestly love the instructions are very clear but after getting to my fourth row, I discovered a knot in the yarn so I cut off my piece and I love the yarn so I decided to use the yard for other projects so I used YouTube tutorials and the yarn, hook and all the materials made it really easy for me and I am thinking of purchasing a New kit since I know most of the stitches and will not start from zero experience great for beginners though I’m sure not all the kits have a knot in it therefore it gets four stars.

These are so cute! I got these for my wife for Christmas and now she's addicted to crocheting! The tutorial videos are very straight forward and easy to follow! The only down side is figuring out what to do with all the completed little figures!

This is what started my love of crochet! The instructions are so clear, it took me a few days to do Pierre in about 20 minute chunks, but might have taken an hour and a half if I sat and knocked it out? Such a great product or gift for anyone looking to start a new hobby or have grandkids learn how to crochet with you!

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!
