ZMAAGG Beginners Crochet Kit, Crochet Animal Kit, Knitting Kit with Yarn, Polyester Fiber, Crochet Hooks, Step-by-Step Instructions Video, Crochet Starter Kit for Beginner DIY Craft Art (Dinosaur)

I “adopted” a 10 yr old to buy Christmas gifts for. She loves the crocheted animals. Since she also loves any kind of arts and crafts, this set was perfect and the price allowed me to buy her more things.

It’s so cool but not good unless you know basic crochet (example rounds and rows) basic stitches you need to know are ch, ss, inc, sc but over all pretty good yarn could be better 7/10

Looks like good quality, haven't started them yet but looks pretty easy

This set is not for beginners. The instructional video is not didactic. The set works well for those who have knowledge of the basics of crochet and not for those who are just starting out and doing it for the first time.

I agree with the others that the yarn and needle are high-quality, but the instructions are absolutely ridiculous. I am a pretty good Crochere and crew can crochet several different stitches, but this was absolutely impossible to follow. I’ve had to try to find all kinds of other, YouTube videos and it’s still really difficult to decipher. What the heck they’re talking about. I’m partway through the borough body, will just have to see how it turns out, if it turns out, it’s more because I’m an experienced crocheter that it is because their instructions are worth anything at all. They need to work a lot harder on getting videos that are slower and more in depth. I am making a lot of educated guesses, along with information from other sources.

These are a little hard to understand for me as a beginner but should be very simple for people who know how crochet

I’m not a beginner and I would absolutely not call this beginner friendly. The yarn frays like crazy. Any kind of frogging or tension afterwards you risk the yarn ripping/breaking. I broke my first pull on the magic circle and had to start over. On my third round to find that my yarn was ripped and tied back together. Gonna have to cut and work the yarn back into the round which is very frustrating and again not beginner friendly. I did appreciate the smaller double hook provided because a 2.5mm was took big for this yarn. (Only reason I’m not giving one star) Working with a smaller gauge is definitely something to get used to as well. As all my other projects like this used 4mm hook. Still gonna finish the project and will update later but as of right now not a great experience and I am not very far.

My granddaughter taught herself how to crochet. She loves to do the kits. She said the kit was great and fun to do
