This is an amazing kit that has everything you need, including the crochet hook! It was only my second amigurumi project, but the video made it so easy, even someone who has never crocheted before could do it. It is also fun enough for an expert crocheter to enjoy. The written instructions are available on the website, as is the video. These kits are amazing and half the price of some other brands. I am donating this finished tiger to a refugee child.
