Honestly the brilliance of these kits isn't the instructions, it's the fact that they give you cording instead of yarn. Regular yarn can be split by the hook, pull differently, etc. Next time I'm working with a beginner I'm recommending cord like this to them because it's such a good idea.
@boopy6430
@boopy6430 Год назад
So true! I've had a handful of friends ask me to show them how to crochet and their biggest issue is always that because they havent gotten tension down their stitches are messy and because theyre messy, my friends end up mistaking a split in the yarn as the yarn under. I always reccomend they use a chunky yarn because i find that a lot of the chunkier yarns are compact and easy to figure out, but even then when they accidentally split it, it makes a big mess. Using cording or another seamless yarn was definitely a huge step in the right direction. The basics of SCs and INCs and all that can be picked up pretty easily, but the biggest problem is figuring out if youre doing it right, and when your stitches are all over the place, its really hard to figure it out.

I completely agree. As someone who really struggled as a beginner with splitting the yarn and being able to clearly see the stitches that have already been done, this soft cording is a brilliant idea.

I learned how to crochet when I was 13 (55 years ago) from a great-aunt who taught me with a small thread and a teensy metal hook. I made pillowcase edging! Yes, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth there were such things as pillowcase edgings. Anyway, that was the beginning of a lifelong love of crochet and I'm so glad you gave it another try.

My great-aunt tried to teach me when I was a kid, however I didn’t get the hang of it back then. Looking back, I think I tried to do it left-handed since that’s what I write with and I thought I was “left-handed” despite using scissors, throwing, and some other stuff right-handed. As an adult, I’ve found I crochet right-handed (I also play instruments right-handed so yay for not having to learn backwards or need a special instrument).

I noticed you didn't mention my favourite about this kit! If you're new to crochet and have to try making a magic ring right off the bat, you're learning two things. How to single crochet and how to make a magic ring. By giving you a premade magic ring, they let you master the single crochet and THEN you can learn the magic ring when you make another piece. I feel like the makers of this kit really remembered what it's like to be a beginner crocheter. I know I struggled with that ring for months hahaha.

I just learned how to crochet with Woobles about 3 months ago. I think it was a great start that allowed me to learn various techniques with easy to follows videos and spaced out through different kits. I was lucky that I bought a 4-pack of cuties for a discounted price, and then I realized each kit adds a skill to the basics. After completing the 4 kits, I was able to buy my own yarn and look up patterns online, and recognize if they were easy enough for my skill level or not. I think these Woobles kits are brilliant, albeit pricey, but starting a hobby the right way is rarely cheap! I also saved the PDFs of the Woobles and am able to turn them into other animals - penguin became a parrot when made with colorful yarn and adding a tail, for example.

Crocheting is extremely therapeutic and calming once you have it down. I hope you'll continue. Borrow a beginners crochet stitches book from your library and start off doing little square samplers of stitches, when all squares completed you can join them together, making a rug or blanket. This can be a lot of fun.

As a crocheter, I think Pierre turned out great. I think those woobles kits are definitely worth it for a beginner. I taught myself to crochet like 17 years ago. RU-vid wasn’t really a thing back then. I recommended these woobles kits to a friend of mine that struggles with crochet because I think she’s really going to learn a lot.

I think starting with an amigurumi project was like throwing yourself into the deep end. 😂 It turned out great though! I personally find things like blankets and granny squares easier. Primarily because magic circles are annoying to learn. There are bunch of alternative ways of doing them out there that you might find easier to use.

Actually I found granny squares to be way harder for me and amigurumi way easier. Apparently if you have ADHD, granny squares are impossible for you. While amigurmi are easier because it’s nothing but single crochets most of the time. I still can’t do a granny square to this day. Even though several people have tried to teach me, I just can’t do it.

I found amigurumi much easier, because in case of granny square you get just that: square. And to turn it into something usable you have to make a bunch of them. But with amigurumi you have a cute toy that is just a toy, thing without any use other then being loved. Although I would recommend searching for comprehensive magic ring or alternative tutorial. I found one that actually clicked only in other language, so unfortunately I can't even recommend a good one.

a little late but i don't think it's that expensive. We forget that people starting out don't have anything. The hook is a good ergonomic hook so that's (canadian dollars) about 5. the stitch markers, another few dollars. safety eyes, good luck finding those without having to buy bulk (michaels in canada doesn't sell them) so you have to find those at the local yarn store if you're lucky and that's at least 5 bucks for a couple. Yarn for the body, different colours for the eyes and the beak, in the store you'd have to buy a full skein so that's 15 dollars. 3 to5 for the pattern. i think it's a great price for people to start and see if they like it.

I had the same experience. Back in March, I saw an ad on Insta for the Woobles but I found it to be a little pricey. So I found a kit on Amazon for around the same price but for 4 different amigurumi. Boy, was I lost! This other kit had tutorials on RU-vid but they were just of someone’s hands crocheting and some quick text. I had no idea what I was doing!!! So I ended up getting the Woobles dinosaur kit. WOW, what a difference. The very detailed explanations and also the type of yarn used made it so much easier to learn. I can even watch other RU-vid tutorials now and understand quickly what to do. 4 months later, I’ve made more than 10 different amigurumis and I have a huge bin full of yarn and a bunch of projects lined up. The Woobles kit is def worth it IMO!!!

It's definitely a cute idea, but for anyone trying to save money and still enjoy a new hobby, I learned to crochet 5 years ago with a single hook, a few balls of yarn, and free youtube tutorials, which there's THOUSANDS out there for learning crochet. Also dollar tree sells crochet hooks and yarn, and things like stitch markers are dirt cheap or you can just use a bobby pin or yarn scraps if you don't have actual stitch markers on hand. Not everyone can afford a $35 crochet kit, but everyone should be able to crochet if they want to :)

I can say that for some folks yes crochet is kind of a "mindless" or auto pilot thing. My mom is currently crocheting a blanket and she can do that while listening to other things and not miss a stitch (most of the time). I myself have not really been able to pick crochet up, tried to learn it as a kid and tried it again one more time in my 20s. Currently trying punch needle now that I've got a general idea of "why my loops are not staying" lol. Maybe one day I'll try crochet again

Stitch markers are useful to anyone doing crochet. I've used them to mark the first stitch in a round like that kit did. I've also used them to mark the beginning of a repeat on a round/row (subdividing a row helps me keep track of counts easier and have to frog less), and used them to help count rows on a big blanket, and most frequently use them to hold my last stitch in place in an active project when I have to put it down. I managed to find set of RU-vid videos that went super slow to teach me, and just made swatches so I could practice the basic stitches (chains, single/double/triple crochet, and half-double crochet). Made a couple blankets, then did my first amigurumi to learn how to crochet in the round. I would have loved a kit like this, but there were none when I was learning.

The price is definitely quite steep, but honestly The Woobles took down a lot of barriers of entry for me! Sometimes, it’s just easier mentally having everything come prepackaged with a set goal and tutorials to go with it. Crocheting honestly look really intimidating to me prior, but for me, The Woobles tutorial + package laid everything out and made it feel less overwhelming. Now that I’ve been crocheting for a while I wouldn’t buy another kit, but it definitely made this hobby more accessible to me 🫶 I think if anyone doesn’t know where to start/what to make for their first project/feel lazy about gathering all the materials, the kit is honestly such a convenient way to begin

I've been crocheting for a few years now, and for what it's worth, there are _some_ stitches/patterns I can do mindlessly, like a classic Granny Square (I can almost make those without even looking at my hands these days!) , but there are plenty of times where I'm trying to follow a new pattern or a specific stitch where I have to constantly check what I'm doing and count, and re-count stitches. Time and practice are your friend, but even at the very best there will still be times where math and counting are involved. I will also say, when I was first learning I found it _way_ easier to learn from just about _any_ video rather than written text, so it's not surprising to me you had such a rough go last time vs. this time. Text-only and limited-photo patterns and stitches, in my opinion, are definitely best saved for _after_ you get most of the basics down. I do agree with other comments saying the kit is kind of expensive for what it is (considering the vast array of free tutorials on RU-vid and how much more yarn you could get purchasing it directly from a store) , but I also acknowledge that kits like this are often more about the convenience of having all your supplies in one place, guaranteed to work together, which can be a tricky thing by itself when you're just starting out. My only real _problem_ with these kits is that while it is _nice_ they come pre-started, I _hope_ the video tutorials still include instructions for how to _get_ to the pre-started point; Little figures like this often start with a "magic ring," and I found learning how to make one of those _super_ confusing in the beginning, especially compared to other patterns that use Chains to begin instead.

I learnt how to crochet/knit almost 10 years ago. Wow it sounds crazy to say almost ten years passed already since I was 13. Having a bit of experice I can say that if you bought all of the stuff yourself it would've been cheaper. But you have to applaud them for the work behind it all. They provide clear visual instructions I think anyone would be able to follow easily. And that's honestly priceless. The yarn is called t-shirt yarn. You have to be careful though because some of them are stretchy some are more like a fabric cord. I've worked with both kinds. And it's great for beginners as someone said already because you can't poke through it with the hook so it's easier to handle. And looks really clean and not messy. I think the attention to details in everything including the eyes is awesome.

I pretty much gave up knitting and quilting. But my mom (RIP ❤) crocheted and her mom, whom I never knew, did that very intricate type of crocheting called “tatting.” But there’s something about crocheting that pushes me to at want to give it a try. I could at least learn the basic stitches. And I do have a few sizes of crochet needles and hung on to a good bit of yarn (sold a bunch more too.) So if I feel confident with doing some trial crocheting, I may order one of these kits. They are so very cute! Thanks!

Well thats the thing with knitting and crochet, i could buy a sweater for chraper than i make one with the cost of the yarn and needles etc but it is the time and experience and group i meet with and stress relief and the color changes and the accomplishment that is worth the money imo. Great job!

For granny squares, I would recommend the tutorial made by "hooked by robin" here in yt. Her join as you go method was also helpful for creating a blanket using the squares. I finished my first granny square project using her tutorial and I never crocheted before.

i taught myself to crochet last year and since then ive made and sold a lot and consider myself pretty good at it, and i wish i knew about wooble then! 35 dollars does sounds like a lot but with everything it comes with i would say it is worth it. these are so cute!

Hi Sea, I'm new to your channel, and I'm loving it! Just one more tip: Don't start crocheting with knitted yarn, they are for those who are already more professional, the recommended one is cotton yarn (100%) they are for people with less experience. I hope I was helpfull.

I learned how to crochet by reading the crochet patterns. My mom would ask me to translate patterns for her. She tried teaching me but it wasnt until my dad finished a Tunisian crochet blanket that I wanted to make one for my son. I was 19. I love it. And the wobbles kits look fun.

Learning the magic loop start is well worth it because it makes such a tight closure. You know that the stuffing will not come out easily. Also using safety eyes is important is toy is for a child or pet. Enjoy your journey because you will only get better.

In Brazil, there is some kind of this kits, they come with material (hook, row marker, needle to sew, safety eyes, thing that you can stuff your amigurumi - I don't know the name in english 😅 - and cotton yarn) and pattern. They are very cute and easy to make if you know the basic of crochet.

What a great review! I'm a fairly experienced crocheted but have still been interested in trying out the Woobles. I was hesitant because of the cost but since I've never done an amigurami newbie, I'm now thinking it may well be worth it! Thank you!
@aileenoneill5619

Well done! Pierre is perfect. I feel crochet is more difficult than knitting, so hard to know where rows end & where to put in hook.

35$?? Damn, I bought my first crochet stuff for 5 dollars and it was great- (50 cents for each yarn, 50 cents for hook, 10 cents for each stitch marker, and abt 2 dollars for the stuffings)
@ChubbyLittleMouse

yea the kit is obscenely priced. even the convenience of it isnt worth the cost. the material included costs maybe 5 bucks at absolute most.

@ChubbyLittleMouse
@ChubbyLittleMouse Год назад
@@noubu2794 yea even if the packging was made of gold and came with a walk through video on how to make the item, it wouldnt be worth 35 bucks. 35 bucks is more than it would cost to buy a completed stuffy of the size the box allows. all actual crocheters consider this kit to be a mindboggling rip off. just because its a business, doesnt mean it deserves the profit its charging.

You did great! The more you practice the better you get. I've been crocheting since I was 12 years old. I still have some of my very first crochet projects and they sure look wonky! Those kits are cute, but to me the price is a bit much.

I think it's too much for a reoccurring purchase, but fine for once or twice when you're learning the the basics.

idk if you’re sticking with crochet but there’s a more beginner method instead of the magic circle where you chain 2 and work all your stitches in the first chain. also a row counter will help you keep track of where you are in a pattern. you can buy them or there’s a few free apps you could download

Aww, he looks perfect!!!! You have done a wonderful job. I’m self taught in crocheting and it’s really relaxing and enjoyable to me. When first starting out everything looked foreign but once I understood what each stitch was my projects looked way better. I wished when I started 15 years ago that there was a wooble for me to have learn from. It sounds like it was definitely worth the $35.

As someone who's done crocheting since 2020, I think this is a little overpriced. You could buy beginner yarn for a few dollars and a few crocheting hooks for less, along with safety eyes, and work on a penguin using a beginner's pattern online. It also depends on what you make, I think you attempted to make a hat of some sort, it doesn't look too bad but the type of yarn you used does also impact the final product. The yarn included was great for beginners and you can also get more of that yarn online for future projects. Although I do acknowledge that beginners might have trouble working on some projects, there are some very helpful tutorials on youtube. But of course, you should do what suits you, this was just a suggestion for the future. I'd love to see what you crochet next! :)

I learned how to crochet at 6 I mostly did small bracelets and I am now 12 so I think that this is a good idea if you do not have an instructor, my grandma taught me, but if you do not have an instructor I think this is a wonderful idea I mean yarn is expensive so I under stand the price.

You did such a good job on the penguin🥰 I’ve heard good things about the woobles but haven’t tried them myself. Some crocheters on RU-vid you might like to look up are bag o day crochet, hooked by robin, creative grandma, littlejohnsyarns, and Bella Coco they have good tutorials for beginners. And if you’re interested in more amigurumi skien spider, and complicated knots are really good 💕. I hope you have fun with you’re crochet journey🥰

When I watched another review on youtube of the Woobles kits the creater made a really good point of thinking of buying a woobles kit as not just buying a kit but buying a class to create that amigurumi which makes the price make more sense to me.

The yarn that you have there is a t-shirt yarn!! Probably also the reason its so expensive. My ball of tshirt yarn cost 12€ bUT ITS REALLY BEGINNER FRIENDLY

Thank you seen a few videos on it but ur one made more sense to me and as a beginner its looks like a lot of fun I have just gotten some wool and a full pack of different sizes crochet hooks cos I’ve been wanting to make something for my daughter and didn’t know where to even start cos I’ve never done it before so u don’t know where to find someone with really basic step well not that I have ur video gives me hope. Have got to get me some of these. I’ve only knitted a big blanket before but never learnt the skill of how to properly add other wool just tie a knot I’m keen to try

hii, someone who tried the bee kit here, i struggled really hard with the tutorial. i couldnt even figure out how to do a single crochet stitch. 😭 but, some good things are, the yarn doesnt split apart the little magic loop thingy is started for you and they actually give you a tutorial instead of dropping you in with no experience
