Excellent kit
I loved this kit. The instructions aren’t super clear but the videos help a lot.

Could use a bit of improvement
Am-10:Chick, Rabbit, Bee, & Howie the Dinosaur:After learning from The W**bles, I decided to try out a bunch of other Amigurumi kits.First up is a set of 4 kits (Chick, Bee, Rabbit, & Howie the Dinosaur). They come with 1 pattern booklet, & YouTube videos you can follow along with. This set was $33.99 USD.I started with the Chick kit.It comes with a decent 3.5mm crochet hook, but I used my preferred ergonomic crochet hook instead.I like the neatness & tightness of the under / over single crochet stitch method better than the over / over method previously learned. I do not like the slip stitch + chain 1 join method used at the end of each round. It leaves a visible seam. I prefer crocheting in a continuous spiral. The written pattern is missing the chain 1 after each join.The yarn is nice to work with.The kits come with eye pins. You are supposed to melt the provided glue stick with a lighter, dab glue on the eyes & shove them in place into the yarn. I used safety eyes instead, you just have to remember to put them in as you go.I did the Rabbit second.The written instructions do not include where & when to use the pink in the ears. I just embroidered some pink X’s on the front of the ears.I tried the invisible slip stitch join, but apparently I am missing something.Next, was the Bee.I watched a bunch more “invisible seam” videos, & tried again. Much better. It is definitely a more time consuming join.I did not read ahead, so I cut my black yarn for a third stripe instead of using black until the end. I used 4 single crochet stitches instead of the required 3, to make the cheeks a bit rounder.Last, is Howie the dinosaur, since sewing on his spikes doesn’t look like fun. I am not sure why this guy rated a name & the others didn’t.I made my best seam yet, but had to cover it with the spine spikes. I was dreading making individual spines to sew on. Instead, the instructions have you make the spikes & crochet them on as you go. I struggled with this. I ended up making 7 spikes instead of 5, because they are only attached at each end of the spike & I wanted mine to sit closer to the body.If you can successfully complete a W**bles Amigurumi character, you will be able to make these.There appears to be enough yarn left over to make another set of 4 Amigurumi.

Excellent little kit! Everything is there with video instruction!!
Great lot, excellent pricing! All items needed, like crochet hook, needle, eyes, yarn and glue (for attaching eyes), are included, along with instruction book. Booklet has qr codes and direct Web address for videos of each of the four crafts so it's easy to follow along if can't understand written instructions. I'm a beginner so it took some practice at the start but I've made 3 of the animals so far and they're adorable!!I wish the eyes weren't gluable attachments but made of yarn instead, but they still work and I'm not concerned they'll fall it.Very good kit and at a great price for what's included (which is EVERYTHING needed!)

Not for beginners at all.
The box came with everything from the pictures and description. This isn't for beginners who have never crochet before. The booklet is difficult to understand. The how to videos are so bad. The lady crocheting goes super fast. There is no speaking or explaining the steps at all. Some parts get cut off before they go on to the next step so you are left wondering how they got to the next part. I did manage to kind of understand it and have crochet the little Dino but it came out way off lmao. If you are willing to get frustrated and spend hours trying to understand the book and videos, then I say go for it. Good luck.

Definitely not for beginners
I was super excited to try crocheting for the first time, unfortunately it took me longer to figure out what everything meant. The videos are not beginner friendly, they move too fast and don’t explain anything. I had to look up other videos on how to do the basic crocheting stitches. I wouldn’t recommend this kit to a newbie that’s for sure.

Yarn Poor Quality and Not Newbie Friendly
The yarn starts to falls apart, very low quality, very difficulty to learn with this quality.And the documentation / videos are not for newbies as they claimed.

Missing Instructions
I was so excited to get this but when I opened it up there are no instructions. Very disappointing. I wish I had read the other reviews first before ordering as it seems a lot of people have had the same experience with this product.

Not suitable for beginners
Yarn is very poor quality, falls apart and really thin. No instructions or video info in box just materials. The hook itself is awful quality and has rough sharp bits on the metal- further damaging the already awful yarn. Don't buy this!!!!

No instructions!
The kit in itself looks OK, however, I can't use it because the instructions are missing!!Aaarrgh......... 🤬🤬🤬Why sell incomplete things?? Boils my blood - wish I'd read the reviews first.Don't buy people!
