Star Wars Crochet (Crochet Kits)

Overall, I am impressed by the quality of this kit. The kit includes enough yarn to finish two Star Wars projects, specifically one each of Yoda and a Stormtrooper, and after that you will need to purchase additional yarn, fiberfill, safety eyes, and other assorted items to finish more of the characters. The kit does not say exactly what size the yarn is but it seems to be at most a worsted weight 4 and it appears to be acrylic and/or wool rather than cotton. It does state that the models shown in the book were made with either weight 4 or 3 but doesn't detail which is which. The colors of yarn included are: white, black, pale green, beige, and brown. Also included is a tapestry needle for seaming the figures and adding features with yarn, an inexpensive crochet hook in size 3.50 (US E/4), four plastic safety eyes and fiberfill. There are also fairly detailed instructions including many diagrams. Unfortunately, there are no directions included for how to place the safety eyes. I am sure that this information can be found on the internet with a simple search. The directions do tell you exactly where to place the eyes. I must admit that I won't be using these eyes but will instead find ones that I can purchase so all of my figures will be consistent. Either that or I will embroider eyes on using basic satin stitches. While the yarn in this kit is very nice, I will be using my own stash to be sure that the sizes, colors, look, and feel of my characters are consistent. The instructions are detailed but I don't think that this is a project for most beginners. It uses techniques that crocheters with a bit more experience would feel comfortable with. If you are a beginner, just be sure you have access to someone or a website that can give you answers if you have any questions about the instructions. The book includes instructions for 12 Star Wars figures: Yoda, Stormtrooper, C-3PO, Princess Leia, Wicket the Ewok, Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and Jabba the Hutt. In addition to the patterns, there are many pictures of scenes of the characters from the actual movies - really fun for any Star Wars fan to have included. The hook is okay but I prefer to use my own for ergonomic reasons. The characters look to be fairly small - if you want to make them larger, use thicker yarn and larger hooks. The instructions should work well no matter the size. The tapestry needle is decent and works well for its purpose. I have purchased and crocheted other kits from this company (the Peanuts and Classic Disney) as well as one distributed by another company but which looks exactly like this brand with a slightly different box (Disney Winnie the Pooh). The instructions in the kits are all very similar as are the materials. I have been very impressed with the previous kits and believe this one will be just as good. On the whole, I really like the kit and the instructions and recommend it to an intermediate or above crocheter without hesitation.

The patterns are written very clear with precise instructions. There are color reference photos for construction as well as color photos for the finished character, including screenshots for some characters in the movie. The pattern book is made of thick sturdy pages. There’s enough yarn in the kit to make one Yoda and one Storm Trooper, which I would guess you’d have some yarn left over. I made all of the characters with my own #4 yarn.

My package was an item that had clearly been returned and resold seeing as the seal had been broken and a bit of the packaging had suffered mishaps. That said, everything was intact, clean and perfectly acceptable in my opinion. This is the loss of a star which should have been half a star because I prefer knowing that usable items don't go to the landfill, that's just wrong. Anyway 12 patterns vs 6 patterns that are available in a different set by the same designer make this set a better deal in my opinion, especially when several of the patterns are basically just yarn color changes. (looking at you Luke, Han, Boba Fett, most of: Leia, Chewy, Vader, Stormtroopers, and C3PO. I could have made about 90% of these items without a patterns but felt that my time saved using a tested pattern was worth the money. The 3.5mm hook is as basic as it comes and will work for most individuals, (I'll alter the handle later). I'm personally using an ergonomic hook I already own because I happen to dislike hand cramps and fatigue. The yarn supplied is somewhat scratchy but is tolerable (for a small project) for one who despises any scratchy yarn. Seriously, I can't stand most yarns; it has to be smooth, silky and or soft, so this is a texture bordering on the fringes of usable in my opinion, but my sister in law thinks it's fine (she uses Supersaver yarn{this makes my skin crawl just typing that} this is dramatically softer than that. Think rough Lion brand bobbin yarns). The patterns are well written, easy to follow and with basic instructions available one with limited or even zero crochet skills who are willing to learn written crochet abbreviations and or watch YouTube how to crochet videos should be able to use this set. I've been crocheting for about 8 years now and Aumaguari, which is what this is, it translates to In the Round or Circles, for over 7 years. It doesn't have crochet chart patterns, but that's because it would be difficult to create and still make sense. There should be ample supplies to make multiples (different colored yarns are your responsibility, buy the good stuff, it's time and energy you've invested after all). You'll need to either buy safety eyes or, if you're planning on giving to a young child stitch the eyes on instead as it's the safest option. Using thicker yarn and larger size hook you can upsize the patterns, which is always fun.

I adore this kit, I've been waiting for it to come out since the author announced it last summer. I had been eyeing these patterns for forever and am so glad to finally get them (the author used to sell them directly if they seem familiar to you). The book I would consider for intermediate crocheters, this is not a learn to crochet kit. The amigurumi techniques in this book are more complex, the further you get into the book. It does statt with a few introductory pages reviewing stitched and technique, but I would reference these more for a review of stitch and technique then a how to. The pattens are clear and easy to follow. The price of the kit is worth it just for the book, and I the additional inclusion I see as just a bonus. As for the additional parts to the kit are a decent quality for the price. Included is a 3.5mm crochet hook, it's on par with any other brand's basic aluminum hook, I had no issues using it. The yarn included seems to be about sport weight acrylic, and is a decent quality, no splitting but it can get a bit fuzzy when working with it. There is more then enough yarn to finish the 2 projects. I completed yoda and I still have a bunch left over, possibly enough to make a 2nd. The safety eyes I'm not a huge fan of, the posts are large for the size compared to what I'm used to and are a pain, I had to fight just to work them through my project. The darning needle included is metal which was a pleasant surprise.

I am new to crochet thanks to COVID-19. I purchased the Star Wars kits not really knowing much pattern. But the book has very good instructions and it came with everything you need to make the 2 characters. I chose to make Stormtrooper first. That was a wise decision because Yoda to me was much harder due to the robes and ears! I did it. They might not look perfect to you but to me they are. I love this kits. It brought me so much joy. If I am not sure I watch YouTube video to learn a quick pattern lesson. Buy it you will not disappoint!

I waited two days before writing my review to see how the kit really was before I made my statement. This is really nice, and it made me feel like a kid again (though I'm only 20.) I love the franchise and I love crocheting so this was a win-win. It is thinner yarn that your typical Red heart, and it feels pretty sturdy. The eyes were in great condition and are good quality. The book is smaller (in size) than I thought it was going to be, but I am actually happy that is the case; it gives me more room for yarn! The hook is like a basic Boye hook and the tapestry needle is about the size of an embroidery needle, so do be careful when you are around kids. Stuffing is very soft ( softer than typical Poly-Fil.) Patterns are great, the projects are adorable, and the pictures of the movies throughout the book are timeless. The yarn is not ready to-go right out of the box though. Unless you keep untangling it. I have a ball winder, but I used my hands anyway for this yarn since it is so fine and isn't a big skein. Not a reason to lower the rating for this product though. I would purchase this again and again if I could! Just pure awesome!

I actually really like this kit. But there are a few things people should probably know; 1) This kit is NOT for beginners. Though most of the stitches are basic and not to hard to figure out the finished products are tiny and I would not recommend a beginner use it. 2) The eyes sent with the kit are very difficult to use. As an obsessive crafty I would recommend purchasing the kit but using different safety eyes from your local craft store. I required pliers to attach the eyes it came, which ultimately chipped one of them. 3) Do note that it only comes with supply to make two projects: Yoda and a Storm Trooper. But the booklet has so many patterns it's worth the cost right there. Over all I love the book, but dislike the supplies it came with. I wouldn't recommend it for beginners, but rather someone who has a little more practice.

Awesome kit and patterns. Kit includes 12 patterns, crochet hook, yarn for Yoda and Stormtropper, and safety eyes. I didn't care for the safety eyes included in the box as I had a hard time trying to put the locking washer on, so I used my own safety eyes purchased on Ebay. Yarn provided and used in patterns is a DK/sport weight yarn which should be easy for most crafters to find for the other projects. I've already made Yoda and almost done with the Stormtrooper which are the two patterns the kit provides for. Instructions are easy to understand and beginner crocheters should have no problem creating the twelve projects in the book. Experienced crocheters will enjoy the quick projects and can easily make any changes they might prefer when creating these cute little critters.

This is my very first Amigurumi project ever. I was able to make a cute baby Yoda, Stormtrooper, and Ewok! I have only made dishcloths and scarves in the past. The instructions are super easy to follow. The book has a lot of photos to refer to. It took me 1 full day to finish a figurine. Ewok's body (dark brown) from the left over yarn from yoda.

Gut nach zu arbeiten, gut Kenntnisse in häkeln und Englisch vorausgesetzt. Garn hat sogar für 2 Yodas gereicht ( für das Jäckchen habe ich Fremdwolle verwenden müssen) Yoda und R2D2 haben die perfekte Größe als Schlüssel-Anhänger bzw. Taschenbaumeler.

Es para un regalo y aunque no lo he abierto exteriormente tiene buena pinta. Tiene los patrones para varios de los que aparecen en la caja pero como dato, solo lleva los materiales para realizas el Yoda y el Stormtrooper. Así a primera vista, cuando lo compras, parece que lleve el material para realizar los personajes que aparece no pero en la caja específica que lleva e material para hacer estos dos que incido de manera completa. Incluye aguja. Como detalle, la caja venía un pelin despegada en uno de los laterales, imagino que del mismo envío se habrá desenganchado. Nada que no arregle un poco de pegamento.

Increíble regalo para los amantes de Star Wars

Coffret très sympa, indispensable à tout fan de starwars qui aime le crochet ! un petit point négatif, tout le matériel n'est pas dispo pour tout les modèles, vous aurez les outils et le manuel très complet pour tout realiser mais pas la laine. Il me semble que l'on peut creer deux des modèles avec le kit et ce qu'il contient. Néanmoins, le manuel est très complet et reference tout ce qu'il faut pour réaliser les autres. Je recommande toutefois, c'est vraiment sympa !
