He and his buddies have come to life in the hands of thousands of complete beginners. And with the help of our tried-and-true instructions, he’ll soon be sliding his way straight into yours as well!

Customer Reviews
I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this. The instructions are so well done. Short little video steps. As a true beginner, it was perfect. I’m very happy with the results. Yes, I had to start over a few times as I made mistakes that needed to be fixed. That was fine. I would suggest just trying the magic circle. After 3 tries, it worked for me. By the second wing, it was looking really good. I bought the book before trying the kits. I was lost just looking thru it. Now, I’m feeling confident. You folks need to sell your yarn in bundles as a separate package. It truly helps and is really nice.
I received this as a gift and I could not be happier! I’m already hooked (no pun intended). Yesterday I had never picked up a crochet hook and today I’ve finished a plushie of my own! The tutorial videos are so easy to follow and the kit has everything you need. Before Woobles, I had always wanted to crochet but didn’t know where to start - it was all so intimidating. However, Woobles gave me the beginner skills and confidence to go on to continue my crochet journey. I highly recommend this as a gift or if you’re just looking to pick up crocheting!
I adore The Woobles. The video directions are easy to follow. I love looking at the 2 Woobles that I have completed and I am excited to start a 3rd one. I already know which adorable Wooble I will be ordering next! These have helped me so much during my recovery from hip surgery.
I had been seeing Woobles on my thread since fall and I felt I just couldn’t commit. I started being stress about stuff in spring and I decided let me try out a couple to see if it helps take my mind off of stuff. Oh and boy did it every. Instead of watching mindless shows or worrying about minor stuff my hands are making something. Something so stinking cute. Now my niece wants to start and my son wants to try and others I work with are interested. The majority of the videos are really easy and the download patterns help a ton. I started on May 2 and now have made 17 pieces and can read a pattern. Best decision ever and a great new hobby. I can see myself making these for friends or kids. My son plays make up stories with them now.
I've never crochet beforehand because sewing and any kind of needle intimidated me but this kit made it so easy! I love the step by step videos and how everything was included. There was no guess work which made it a relaxing activity!
