As a crocheter who learned at a very young age, I just WISH someone had bought me one of these fantastic kits!
When looking at crochet kits for children, I’m looking at a few factors: easy, fun, educational, fun, engaging, and most importantly, fun! Keep in mind that these kits are designed for children at least 10 years of age.
My all-time favorite kit is the Woobles kit. This one is perfect for the older kid who can follow along with video tutorials. Not only will your child end up with an adorable time, but they will also have a blast learning with excellently produced video instructions.
The Jonah Larson kits by Boye range in price, but this rainbow kit gets you the most bang for your buck. You get everything your child needs to make a beautiful piece of art for a bargain price.
Of course, with the age of the internet and social media, the virality of certain projects will change over time. But currently, children (and adults) of all ages are OBSESSED with crochet bees! This kit provides everything your child needs to create their own little bee.
The Best Crochet Kits For Kids Reviewed
Jonah Larson Kits
Jonah Larson is a 12-year-old boy who went viral as a crochet prodigy. His speed, skill, and enthusiasm for crochet make him an amazing role model for young crocheters.
He has written several books and has several crochet kits produced by Boye. Each of these kits is an amazing choice for young creators since they were designed by one.
Stuffed Koala
Crochet a simple little koala and learn skills like pom pom making, crochet in the round, and some basic embroidery to complete this affordable kit. For a bargain price you receive the pattern, all materials, a crochet hook, yarn needle, and stuffing.
Rainbow Wall Hanging
This simple wall hanging kit is our most affordable kit listed. This rainbow wall hanging teaches simple stitches, increases, tassel making, and more. The kit includes the pattern, all materials needed, including a tassel maker.
Gnome
This crochet kit is a little more involved than the Koala but is full of fun! This sweet little gnome kit will teach skills like the loop stitch and sewing on buttons.
At a little higher price point than the Koala, this kit includes all the same materials, plus a few extras like stitch markers and embellishments.
Granny Square Accessories
The Granny Square is one of the most recognizable stitches used in crochet! With its rise in popularity over the last year, your child will adore the on-trend granny square accessories.
This kit includes a pattern and materials to make a small pouch for headphones or earbuds, a pencil case, and a mini purse. This kit will teach your child to make a granny square, join the squares, sew buttons, and more.

Not only will your child learn to make simple amigurumi, but this kit also includes instructions for basic cross stitch and embroidery to add details to their creations.
Stitchin’ Kids
This line of crochet kits is a little more involved than Jonah’s kits, targeting the 12+ age range.
These kits are well priced and include polyester yarn, stuffing, and all the embellishments.
The Stitchin’ Kids kits include a small plastic crochet hook. However, the quality of the hook is very bad. I recommend giving your child an aluminum hook to work with to avoid frustration.
Llama
The llama kit will teach your child more advanced shapes in amigurumi and more intricate embroidered details.
Sloth
The Sloth is the simplest of the Stitchin’ Kids kits. With simple shapes and techniques, your young crocheter will have a new stuffed friend in no time.
Woobles
The Woobles kits rank as our top pick for best-quality crochet kits. These kits come in various experience levels, include a generous supply of materials, and have a pattern with accompanying video tutorials.

Select a kit that features characters from your child’s favorite movie or franchise, and they won’t be able to stop until they have made all the characters!
