What is Reddit's opinion of Star Wars Crochet (Crochet Kits)?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

My bf loves Star Wars so I bought a kit on Amazon that came with material for a Yoda and a Stormtrooper. The stormtrooper lives on his rear view mirror now. Yoda came out a little wonky but I think he’s so adorable!

Not really. There's a boxed crochet star wars set, and you can just use different colors for Boba Fett, and a different robe for Yoda. But don't use their included safety eyes-- the backs are too big, and they make the heads misshapen.

came to about 14$ with a 40% off coupon. comes with hook, high quality book, yarn, eyes and stuffing. not a bad deal if youre into fiber arts.

edit - can also be purchased on amazon.

I went googling and geeked out (and may have also squee'd) when I saw these.

creepy and cute

Also check out the Edwards Menagerie and Crochet ever after in Amazon.

I'm sorry you are getting so much different advice, but I only started recently too so here go's.

I learned how to crochet almost a year ago, and I started straight with this kit. It was FANTASTIC. It has a hook and yarn and teaches you all of the stitches. I definitely recommend it for you learning. There are a couple of other sets too, if you don't want Star Wars.

Then I bought these hooks so that I would have freedom for what I wanted to make with crochet. This set comes with stitch markers, which you definitely want for making amigurumi. I use quite a smaller hook than people here apparently. I seem to crochet large (the Star Wars character was supposed to be 3 inches tall and mine was 6in), so I use a 3.25mm hook usually. You will figure out your preference if you buy enough hooks to play around.

The problem with amigurumi for a first time crafter is that you need A LOT of different colors. You don't buy 3 skeins (balls) of the same color, like for a scarf. Instead, you need like 4 different colors for each thing you make. I used Simply Soft yarn. It is usually about $4 a skein. It feels nice to work with, but is still kind of on the cheap side. As for where to buy, I completely agree with the first post.

I'd say in total, I probably spent near $70 on everything to stock up. I kept having to go back for yarn haha. I have now made upwards of 30 amigurumi, and have only had to replace 2 of the colors. So, for me, amigurumi had a decent up front cost, but you get a lot out of it.

I am now completely obsessed. The kits are a great way to learn (many people also love Youtube videos for learning and for patterns). Amigurumi are so much fun because you get to watch your creation come to life, more so than a scarf. So dive in and have fun! Feel free to message me if you ever have any question :)

P.S. Buy amigurumi eyes on Amazon. You get 100 for $7, while in Jo Ann's, you get 10 for $7.

I used the Star Wars kits myself but Ravelry has a ton... otherwise Star Wars Crochet (Crochet Kits) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1626863261/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ArtRBbZPV2B7C
