This is another one from Lucy Collin's Star Wars crochet kit.

Amazon has a box set. It's great, but the yarn it comes with is on the cheaper end of things. It supplies enough for the Stormtrooper and Yoda. Comes with a cheap hook (not strong, bends)

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

But you can get it around 15 with some looking

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

Star Wars Crochet

creepy and cute

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

Amazing project and very much in the spirit of this and the random kindness subs. I especially like the part that you are urging others to participate.

I would like to offer up two items I bought specifically to cheer up a random person. I love to crotchet and found a very cute box set for making tiny dolls with the instruction book and supplies included. I have done the star wars set https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Crochet-Kits/dp/1626863261 and loved them so I always thought it would make a nice gift. I have one set for Frozen theme dolls https://www.amazon.com/Disney-Frozen-Crochet-Box-Set/dp/1626864438/ref=pd_sim_14_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=61cUnmgm2ZL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&psc=1&refRID=KDQCBXY6ZWXD72MHGXK1 , and one set for Starwars dolls. I would like to give them to 2 different people. Please post a reply if you would like them, I will send a pm to the people I select :)

I would love to be considered for the GoPro. I have a Grandmother who is no longer mobile and she misses going on walks/hikes/travel. I thought it would be a fun thing to film some things at her request, so that she may still experience things outside the home.

Thank you

This Star Wars set

Also unless OP's friend is GoldenJellyBean on YouTube, all of the other stuff is from his/her patterns

Have to give pattern credit to the awesome Star Wars crochet kit I used. Can't wait to make more!

Can you at least file for unemployment?

Also, you should do this https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Crochet-Kits/dp/1626863261 if you can stand it. I'm working on Yoda for a friend and it is driving me crazy. xD

They sell these kits in stores (Michaels, Costco, Target, etc.) and Amazon.

Includes some materials plus other patterns.

I taught myself how to crochet using this brand of crochet kit. This one in particular doesn’t have what you’re looking for, but I’ve consistently found that kits are way more comprehensive, and that the projects in them are all similarly sized.
