Can complete beginners do your kits?

You bet - over 100,000 people have learned crochet with The Woobles, and you can be next! In fact, our beginner kits are made for 100% complete beginners. Here’s some beginner-friendly things included in each kit:

  • A step-by-step guide with video tutorials that shows you everything from how to hold a hook and yarn, to getting through your first few stitches in the kit
  • All the materials you need to complete one plushie
  • A pre-started crochet piece, so you can jump right into practicing the main techniques
  • An easy way to restart in case you make a mistake (which you probably will, and that's totally OK!)
  • More video and photo tutorials at thewoobles.com/tutorials
  • Personalized support. If you find yourself tangled in knots, take a photo of your piece and send it to help@thewoobles.com or 838-WOO-BLES. Rather get help from fellow crochet beginners? Ask away in our Facebook group instead.

Can kids do your kits?

It’s the answer we all dread – it depends. Our kits are made for kids 12+. Some factors that affect how easily a child can learn how to crochet are: how much they dabble in arts and crafts already, how much hand eye coordination they have, and how well they can learn physical skills from either video or photo + written content. 

 

Can lefties do your kits?

Yes! Every beginner kit comes with both right- and left-handed step-by-step guides, plus all of our tutorial videos are available for both righties and lefties.

 

What comes with a kit?

Each kit comes with enough materials to make one Wooble:

  • Step-by-step guide with video tutorials that teach you how to crochet your Wooble

  • Yarn that's been pre-started so you can jump into learning the basic stitches

  • Stuffing
  • Tapestry needle

  • Stitch markers

  • 10mm safety eyes

  • 4mm crochet hook (for an extra charge)

  • Pattern as a PDF digital download

You'll also receive unlimited support over email and SMS.


I'm a complete beginner. What kit is the best one to start with?

Pierre the Penguin is quite the popular Wooble, but really all of our beginner kits are made for beginners!

 

Do I need a hook to crochet?

Yep! Please remember to select the “With crochet hook” option when you checkout.

 

What is the yarn in your kits made of?

Our custom-made Easy Peasy yarn is 75% cotton and 25% nylon. We call it Easy Peasy yarn because it makes it easy peasy to learn crochet with.

 

How long does a beginner kit take?

Everyone crochets at a different speed. We've heard from complete beginners, that our beginner kits take anywhere between 3-8 hours.

 

I bought a kit. How do I get started?

Congrats! You've taken step one towards learning a new lifelong skill 🎉 To get started with your kit:

1. Go to learn.thewoobles.com
2. Click on the Wooble you have
3. Type in the password. The password is on the back of the card that came in your kit. It's also in the email you received notifying you that your order was delivered.

Feeling a little nervous? Don't be! If you make a mistake, 1) know this is totally normal whenever you're learning something new, and 2) you can always just tug on the yarn connected to the yarn ball to reset to the pre-started piece.

Most of our kits are for complete beginners, and we've heard from other newly minted crocheters that following online video tutorials is the easiest way to learn crochet. That's why we purposely encourage you to go online to watch the tutorial videos.
