The Beginner-Friendly Woobles Crochet Kit Is the Best Way to Start a New Hobby

Learning a new craft is daunting. Between investing in materials and slogging through poorly written instructions, it’s tempting to give up before you’ve even tried. Luckily, there’s an easier way—at least for budding crocheters.

Say hello to The Woobles! These cute, cuddly craft kits let you skip spending an hour in the yarn aisle. They provide everything you need to start crocheting in one beginner-friendly package.

What are The Woobles?

The Woobles are like meal kits for crafters. They offer all the materials you need—yarn, a crochet hook, stuffing, eyes, needle and thread—to create your very own knit animal friend. Choose from a variety of adorable patterns, including a penguin, fox and unicorn.

What truly sets Woobles crochet kits apart are the video tutorials. Each step of the crochet process breaks down into micro-steps the length of TikTok reels. They cover every step of the process, from learning how to hold your yarn to reading patterns. And if you mess up? The Woobles crochet support team is just an email or chat away. Kits are available for both beginner and intermediate skill sets, and are suitable for ages 12 and up. (Shop for younger artists with our craft kits for kids.)

To see The Woobles in action, head to social media. This TikTok video from @loopymountaincrochet shows how easy it is to get started.

How to Use The Woobles

I’ve dabbled in a handful of crafts, like counted cross-stitch and needle felting, but never crochet. That’s why when given the chance to try The Woobles, I was eager to see if these kits are truly beginner-friendly.

I sat down with my Pierre the Penguin kit and was immediately impressed by the quality of the supplies. Woobles prides itself on its “easy-peasy” yarn. The texture is difficult to describe, but it has almost a jersey knit feel. It’s smooth, stretchy and doesn’t unravel if you need to undo a few stitches. Plus, your crochet piece comes pre-started. As any crafter can tell you, casting on is typically the most difficult part. A small round of completed stitches lets you jump right in to learning the fun stuff.

Crocheting Pierre took some time, but the process was smooth. Any time I got lost in the pattern or needed a reminder, the video steps had my back. I also appreciate that, while beginner-friendly, The Woobles crochet kits offer a challenge. You learn so many new skills while crafting your piece, like mastering different types of stitches, reading a pattern and crafting a magic loop. I feel much more confident in my abilities than if I’d started with a basic potholder or scarf.

The Best User Reviews

We’re not the only ones smitten with The Woobles. Plenty of happy crafters share the kits’ ease of use and expertise.

“I am not a naturally crafty or artsy person, and I’ve tried various craft kits over the years with limited success…My mom sent me some of these kits in a care package and I had a blast working on them,” writes five-star reviewer, M.J. “I love how the videos are broken down into short clips that are easy to repeat and pay attention to. It made working through the steps easy to follow and, if I forgot something, it was easy to find the short clip to refresh instead of having to rewind through a long video.”

“I can’t believe this worked!” shares five-star reviewer, J.F. “I have tried and failed so many times with yarn crafts. I just couldn’t seem to get the hang of it. But somehow these video tutorials and easy-to-follow patterns actually taught me how to crochet! I’ve made five beginner Woobles and I just finished an intermediate Wooble today! I’m so hooked (pun intended)!”
