How long does a beginner kit take?
How long does a beginner kit take?
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. ☕💛
Can kids do your kits?
Can kids do your kits?
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. 🧶💕
