ABOUT OUR KITS AND CROCHET PATTERNS

 

Which kit is the best one to learn to crochet with?

The Chunky Scarf Crochet Kit is ideal for learning to crochet – the videos assume that you’ve never crocheted before, and you’ll learn the basic crochet stitches and techniques.

If you’re feeling adventurous, then start with the Chunky Heart Crochet Kit – the stitches are more complex, and the videos will show you exactly what to do.

How do I access the crochet patterns and video tutorials?

There are 3 different ways to access the Homelea Lass crochet patterns and video tutorials, and we’ve put together a detailed blog post about this here.

Where are your kits made?
