I've never crocheted. Is this kit right for me?
Look at the level on this page. First Timer kits are made for people who have never held a hook; Getting There kits are a lovely second project, with a few more pieces to join. If you can't finish it, our Finish-It Guarantee has you covered.
How big is the finished Pelotin?
Every Pelotin is palm-sized – small enough to sit on a desk or a shelf, and just right for a little hug. The photos show it in a hand for scale.
Is it suitable for children?
The kit is designed for adults and older children making it themselves. The finished toy contains small parts and is not suitable for children under 3.
