This is a wonderful kit for anyone looking to learn the foundational skills for crocheting your own amigurumi. I had been wanting to learn for years but always felt intimidated by even beginner tutorials. What I love about this kit and the accompanying videos is that it walks you through almost every step of the process, with each stitch clearly explained and demonstrated. I also liked being able to pause or re-watch a video as many times as I wanted, which I certainly did for some of the trickier parts!

A few things to note: I'm in my 30s, and I found certain parts challenging - if you are getting this as a gift for a young person in your life, they may need some guidance depending on their age/ability. This also is not what I would call a "quick" project - don't expect to have it done in an afternoon! Neither of these things should be considered dealbreakers though, because by the end you will have an adorable amigurumi, as well as the confidence to tackle a new project all on your own!

My very first crochet project and it turned out so good! The video guide and the little booklet guides you through every step, it’s easy to understand and follow and the result is just extremely cute and rewarding!

I am working on this Marty kit and I was astounded to realize the complete video instruction that comes with it. I felt like I had a whole online course in that box. The videos really make it an amazing product. The tools, yarn, box, and brochure are excellent and the videos put it way over the top. As a maker of online tapestry weaving courses, I can say that these videos are fantastic. There was no searching YouTube for how to make a magic ring. The designer Yan shows you. And she shows you absolutely everything else also. This is an amazing product and I've already bought two of the friendship bracelet boxes for my nieces. I've really enjoyed making Marty!

It's a lovely pattern (as it is always the case with Yan Schenkel's patterns -great choice, Zollie!) with excellent instruction videos! Easy to follow. The kit has quality materials. The yarn takes some getting used to, as it is more like a rope and a bit tough. It does not split and gives a beautiful stitch definition, though. The price is a bit steep too, but I understand in view of the contents of the kit. I am at this point more than halfway through and it looks great!

Got this for my granddaughter who wants to learn to crochet. She’s already started it.
