Please note: the exact contents may vary slightly depending on which kit you choose — each Stitchie has its own special mix of materials! 💫

Every Stitchie learns at their own pace — some zip through their first project, while others take it slow and enjoy every cozy stitch. ✨

On average, our beginners spend about 3–8 hours completing their first kit. But don’t worry — there’s no rush here! Pop on your favorite playlist, grab a cup of tea, and crochet at your own happy pace. ☕💛

That’s a great question — and the honest answer is: it depends! 🌈

Our Stitchies kits are generally best suited for kids ages 12 and up, but every little crafter is unique. 💛 A few things that make a difference are:

  • ✂️ How much they’ve played around with arts and crafts before
  • 👀 Their hand-eye coordination
  • 🎥 How easily they can follow along with videos or photo guides

If your kiddo loves creative projects and has a bit of patience, they’ll probably love making their own Stitchie friend! Just be sure to keep an eye out and lend a helping hand when needed. 🧶💕

No worries: our beginner, pre-started crochet kits work for righties and lefties alike, and Stitchies tutorials are available in both right-handed and left-handed formats.

Not just yet! 💛 At the moment, our special collab materials — like the yarn and safety eyes — are only available as part of the full kit.

But who knows? 😉 We’re always adding new Stitchie goodies, so keep an eye out for future updates! 👀🧶

At the moment, our tutorials are available in English only. 💬

We sure do! 🎉 If you’re planning a group activity, workshop, or just want to spread some Stitchie joy, we’d love to help.

Orders of 10 kits or more qualify for a special bulk discount. 💫

Simply send us an email at Careers@thestitchies.com, and we’ll share all the cozy details! 💌
