FAQs
Are your kits good for beginners?
Yes! Our kits are designed with beginners in mind - easy-to-follow instructions, step-by-step videos, and everything you need to get started. Whether you’ve never held a crochet hook or just need a refresher, we’ve got you.
Is crochet hard to pick up?
Yeah... nah! Well, it can feel a bit tricky at first.
And we're not gonna BS you - it's a lot like learning a new sport. It takes some practice, time and patience. That's why our Beginner Kits include a spare ball of yarn - for you to play, learn, undo, redo and practice your heart out, till you're the ultimate crochet whisperer.
The great news is that Nana Sports guides and video tutorials give you all the support you need to master the stitches and techniques. With our clear, step-by-step help, you'll be crocheting like a boss in no time.
How long before I can turn pro?
That depends on how often you practice (and how many snacks you take between stitches). But really, most people feel confident with the basics after just one kit. Mastery comes with time, but joy starts on Day One. Lucky you!
Is everything included in the kit?
Yes, although you may need some extra tools (like pliers, a ruler or scissors) - but these are generally items you’ll have at home. And we’ll let you know if any specific tools are required for each kit.
How complicated is the pattern and how long will it take?
Our patterns are super easy to follow, packed with clear instructions, step-by-step photos, and video tutorials that teach you every technique you’ll need.
They're designed so you won't abandon them halfway and stash them next to that unfinished scrapbook of your firstborn.
Each project is totally doable - something you can finish over a few weekends, or take your time with over a couple of months. These are the kind of small, joyful projects you’ll actually want to finish - and use obsessively, too!
C'mon, is crocheting REALLY that relaxing?
Sure, we’re biased, but HELL YEAH it is! Once you’ve got the basics, it’s basically therapy *with yarn*.
And to show that we are mature enough to give you an objective view, many of our customers say it helps them to unwind, refocus and even sleep better! Plus, you get a cute-as bag at the end.
Are your materials sustainable?
We care deeply about the planet, its people and future generations. That’s why we do everything we can to make responsible choices.
Our ethos is centred around slow fashion. Our yarn is ethically sourced, and our packaging is designed to be either recyclable or reusable wherever possible. We're always looking for better ways to tread lightly while crafting with joy.
What if I mess up?
Mistakes go hand-in-hand with craft(iness), so don’t be alarmed if your first ever rows look like a spaghetti tangle made by a labrador pup on espresso. Keep practicing, it’ll all come together, promise!
Plus, we’re always here on standby, ready to help! We have video tutes that walk you all the basics and we offer email support. You’re never stitching alone. Reach out to us at any time!

What if I get stuck and need extra help?
Need a hand? Just holler!
