I've never crocheted. Can I really do this?
Yes. Pelotins are designed for complete beginners. Start with a First Timer kit: simple shapes, repeatable stitches and a step-by-step guide you can follow at your own pace. If you can't finish it, our Finish-It Guarantee has you covered.
What's in the box?
Yarn in your Pelotin's colours, a crochet hook, safety eyes, stuffing and step-by-step instructions, so there is nothing else to buy. The exact contents are listed on each Pelotin's page.
How long does a Pelotin take?
First Timer kits take about two to three hours and Getting There kits about three to four. It isn't a race – take as long as you like.
Is a Pelotin a good gift?
A lovely one – thoughtful, calming and genuinely different. Choose two as a Duo, one to keep and one to share, and make them together. See our gift ideas.
When will my order arrive?
Orders are dispatched within 1–3 working days and you'll receive tracking by email. Delivery times for your country are shown at checkout.
