Star Wars Even More Crochet (Crochet Kits) Hardcover – March 14, 2017

This is the second kit from Lucy Collin that I have purchased. Her designs are really fun and easy to understand. THIS IS NOT SUITABLE FOR A COMPLETE BEGINNER. Make sure you know all of the basics and practice making a few things prior to trying to do anything like this. Once you are familiar with the basics it is a great way to learn techniques and challenge yourself while being able to complete a project in a relatively short time. There were a few tricky bits for me, mostly with the construction of the pieces rather than with the crochet stitches themselves. The only designs I have not cared for are for Darth Vader and Kylo Ren which both turned out looking like a Muppets "Pigs in Space" version of the characters with pig snout rather than evil looking mask.If you are interested in completing more of the designs in the book (rather than just the 2 that have supplies included) there is a complete list of the yarns used for each one on Lucy's blog - link in the about the author section of the book.

Like her first Star Wars kit, this one is well designed with precise instructions. They characters turn out so cute! I enjoy the projects. They are not very time consuming and seeing the characters develop is satisfying. They make nice toys or decorations.

I have been doing Lucy's patterns for years and this one is no different! I love them every time I get new ones. The challenges I get are when I can't find the right color yarn for the pattern, or I am having an off day when I do it ( like my Greedo which I will be doing again to get it right!)These really are fun to do!

This is a great kit. The figures look very similar to the real characters. The instructions are very clear and the supplies given are just enough for the two characters. But you get instructions for 12! I am making them for a Star Wars Christmas tree. They will be ornaments!

I own a few of the Thunder Bay crochet character kits. This kit is similar in quality to those I have purchased in the past. While the kit has a small booklet which contains instructions for 12 characters, be warned, the kit only contains enough materials to make 2 – specifically, a Jawa and BB-8. Because of this, with prior kits and with this one as well, I will substitute my own yarn and other materials so that I can keep the my stitches and the final amigurumi consistent in size.The book includes instructions for 12 Star Wars charachters, including: Jawa, BB-8, Rey, Finn, Poe Dameron, Kylo Ren, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Lando Calrissian, Admiral Ackbar, Nien Nunb, Cantina Band, and Greedo.I do re-use the yarn in the kits for other projects and I note that some of the yarn seems to be slightly thicker – most appear to be 3 while others (gray and black) are more of a light 4 in weight. I'm not sure if different weights were used or if the yarn manufacturer's product is inconsistent in size. I would guess it is the latter as I have run across this in skeins of yarn in the past.I think that this kit and the patterns are good for intermediate and above. It would not be the first kit that I would give to a beginner to learn how to crochet. There are more advanced techniques used which, while there are good instructions and photographs, may be difficult for someone new to crochet to follow. If you are a beginner and want to work on these characters, it could be a fun challenge but I recommend having someone more experienced around to ask questions.This kit includes materials needed (except glue) to make BB-8 and a Jawa: yarns in black, dark brown, light brown, gray, white, and orange; an E/4 (3.5mm) metal crochet hook; a metal tapestry needle; two pairs of plastic safety eyes (one pair in black and one pair in amber) and stuffing.While the author doesn't state which yarns she used, the patterns were designs for DK weight (size 3 light worsted). She does state that worsted weight works as well. As I prefer to use a worsted weight in 4 for mine, my characters come out larger than the ones shown and generally take more yarn to finish. I like Vanna's Choice or Red Heart yarn for many of my characters as they have such a wide range of colors available. I generally pick and brand and stick with it for the full range to be sure my character sizes and colors stay consistent.The hook is okay but I prefer to use my own for ergonomic reasons. The characters look to be fairly small - if you want to make them larger, use thicker yarn and larger hooks. The instructions should work well no matter the size. The tapestry needle is decent and works well for its purpose. There are also fairly detailed instructions including many diagrams.I have purchased and crocheted other kits from this company. The instructions in the kits are all very similar as are the materials. The last few kits I have purchased (Marvel, Rudolph and this one) have even better photographs and instructions than those of the earlier kits.On the whole, I really like the kit and the instructions and recommend it to an intermediate or above crocheter without hesitation.

These patterns are very well written and have great results when followed carefully. I wouldn’t say they are for beginners because of the amount of detail and time that goes into making them, but they’re incredibly fun to make.

By boys and I bought this for my wife as a family day gift. She was very pleased with it, and especially the book with designs/instructions that came with it to do other projects.

This is so cool, my husband is a big fan of Star Wars he loves it and is fun to make.

Ich liebe, liebe, liebe es. Ich bin schon glückliche Besitzerin des ersten Bandes und jetzt noch dieser macht es komplett. Die Anweisungen sind, trotz Englisch, gut zu verstehen und auch gut durchdacht. Wenn man das Vokabular erst mal draufhat, geht es wie geschmiert. Die einzelnen Charktere sind so liebevoll dargestellt, dass einem das Herz aufgeht. Die mitgelieferte Wolle ist nichts Besonderes, aber man kann ja dann selbst entscheiden, wie man weitermachen möchte. Ich kann normale Sockenwolle empfehlen. Die hat eine gute Stärke und ist in unendlich vielen Farben zu finden.

I ordered this so I could have a heads start on Christmas gifts. I loved how easy the patteren was to follow, and I will be ordering more sets when they become avalible.

Fan de star wars j'ai dû essayer et heureuse de constater que c'est asser simple

Viene muy bien explicado en inglés! Es fácil de seguir e incluye material para dos amigurumis que son BB8 y Java! El gancho es muy frágil pero se puede utilizar bien

En ganchillo quedan las figuras muy simpaticas y son faciles de hacer.
