Crochet Kits
Do you need a quick and cute gift for a friend but want it to be homemade? Try crochet kits! These individual sets sell cheap, so the only real thing you’ll be spending is your time and heartfelt effort. And who wouldn’t love that?
- What is it? An already pre-determined crocheted project by Needle Creations. There are other companies that sell beginner kits, but for the sake of this article, we’ll be sticking with just this specific one. Feel free to explore your options!
- What do you need? The kit comes with everything you need outside of basic sewing supplies. It includes yarn, polyester fiberfill, a plastic crochet hook, plastic needle, and the easy-to-follow instructions.
- How do you do it? As previously mentioned, the kit comes with step-by-step guidelines for how to make your creation. It also has a key that clarifies what the terms mean in the patterns.
- What can you make? There are a variety of crochet kits that you can buy. Gnomes, bees, cactus, cows, cats, etc! The finished project should be around the size of an eight-week year old kitten. If that seems like a weird measurement, just trust it should fit snuggly in the palms of your hands (8” x 6 ½” x 1 inches).
- What is the cost? Depending on where you buy it from, the kit costs anywhere from $5-$10. I found quite a few on sale at my local arts and crafts store.
