テッサ・プテラノドンのかぎ針編みキット

The step-by-step video tutorials made it almost impossible to mess up, even when I had zero crochet experience going in. Tessa’s little wings came together in about two evenings, and I’m already eyeing the next kit.

The video tutorials linked in the kit made the wing decreases finally click for me — I’ve rewatched that part three times and it’s still clear. Tessa’s little beak came together in one sitting, and the yarn never split once.

The magic loop start was way less scary than I thought it'd be, and Tessa's wings actually took shape by my second sitting. For a first timer, having all the yarn and eyes bundled in saved me from a panicked craft store run.
