Customer photo review of Curate Crochet Box - Monthly Subscription

Denise D.Verified

Love this! Beautiful yarn, love the prepunched zip (need to Google where to buy those), well explained pattern. One of the things I love about these boxes is you get a preview so you can skip if its going to be something you don't like/need/not interested in. Also it is top branded yarn, not cheap, acrylic that you sometimes find in other boxes. Look forward to the next preview.

I learned to knit and wanted to step out of my comfort zone and learn to crochet. Looking at patterns, it just looked like double dutch to me. I was attracted by the step by step video. Following along has not only enabled me to crochet a hat but also taught me how to read a pattern. I'm looking forward to receiving February's box and I have also ordered the black and cream bag. I'm loving crochet, thank you xXx

Absolutely loving the subscription boxes, it’s the highlight of my month. All of the contents are great quality and the instructions are really clear. I normally only crochet large items such as blankets so was a bit nervous to try small items but have really enjoyed doing the Christmas baubles and it has now given me the confidence to try different things, I can’t wait to get started on the slippers next!

Customer photo review of Honeycomb Market Trio Kit

I was so excited to get the July box. The projects looked great and I liked that there were 3 different designs to choose from. I ended up doing two I liked the most. Thank you for another enjoyable project.

I’m on the foot of my socks, having never picked up a crochet pattern or even done a granny square I decided to subscribe to learn. Look at how far i am with my first month. Good videos, easy to follow. Cute bundle of fun!

My second box from Curate Crochet and loving it even more than the first. Being new to crocheting the printed pattern along with the video is so helpful and such a fun and interesting way to learn and attempt new stitches. The Welsh Brew tea bag was also a welcome extra as they are my tea bags of choice. Already excited about receiving my next box x

Customer photo review of The Weekender Bag Crochet Kit

Elizabeth M.Verified

One of my favourite projects this year! Beautiful yarns and clear instructions (plus a comfy crochet hook that I now want a set of) - I’ve learnt 2 new stitches and created a bag that my sister fell in love with. Can’t wait for the next one!!

Customer photo review of Forget-Me-Not Journal Pattern

Emma B.Verified

A great weekend project. The pattern was clearly set out and easy to follow. I used the video to help me with the flowers as this was a new skill for me. I watched it once and away I went. I had to adjust the number of stitches (minus two from each flap) as my chain was measuring 55cm. This was easy to do and did not detract from the final finish. I will be making several of these as they will make nice Christmas gifts for friends and family.

I’m loving the subscription boxes. I have always wanted to learn to crochet and I can hardly believe I m now making such lovely items. I am so glad I decided to sign up for the monthly boxes. I really look forward to receiving them.

Customer photo review of Watermelon Sugar Bag Kit

Emma G.Verified

I really enjoyed this kit and am really happy with the bag. I found using the rafia a bit of a challenge, but the watermelon yarn is really nice to work with. The instructions were really easy to follow and the video is handy for any trickier bits!

This is my first box and I LOVE it - we moved into a new old house and it has gingerbread house vibes, so this pattern was perfect! I always go a little rouge with my crochet 🤪😝 so I used my own colours (hubby picked out his!). Can’t wait to hang them up this weekend! Thank you 🤩

Loved this box, it was my first and I really enjoyed making all the bags. Learnt some new crochet skills too. Great written and video instructions, really easy to follow. Also great quality of wool, it was lovely to work with. Can't wait for my next box!!

I loved this box so much I actually finished the project in the same month it was sent 🤣. Very happy with my socks, I'm now making my third pair. Quick and simple, this pattern is great way to use up some odd balls of yarn.

Customer photo review of The Parisienne Bag Kit

Barbara G.Verified

As a complete beginner I was very happy to be able to complete such a cute bag. It can seem daunting at first but the videos as super useful and the process is satisfying as you quickly see results.

Sally-anne L.Verified

I totally adored making this project. I had zero time to make it so prioritised and ignored the holiday ironing in order to make it. I’m thrilled with how it turned out. I love these boxes so much. I love how you can see the project in advance and pause or skip a box if it’s not to your liking or don’t have time (this seldom happens). The patterns are so good to follow and the video helps if you need extra guidance and feels like you’re crocheting with a friend. If you’re on the fence, get off a...

I love how cute (and even useful) the projects are each month! I love crochet but I'm not all that into amigurumi or making blankets because I get bored with repetitive patterns. I struggle with finding modern patterns that appeal to me. I love making wearables but that can take a long time so I was thrilled to find this box with projects I could finish relatively quickly and end up with something I actually want to use! It's pricey to ship to the US but it's worth it for me. I also love that I ...

I've been loving these monthly boxes. I finished this journal cover which is so pretty and I am using the journal as my crochet project book. I'm now finishing up the Parisienne Bag which is gorgeous and I'm so happy with how it's turning out!

Customer photo review of The Curate Crochet Box Advent 2025

Melanie M.Verified

The crochet adventure calendar was bought as a present for my mum. She is really enjoying opening a door each day and completing the projects. The box itself is really high quality and very attractive and will be reused. Yarn, hooks and sundries are good quality and instructions easy to follow.

The Curate Crochet Box Advent 2025

Elsa K.Verified

I found out about the Curate Box by doing the Sirdar Gingerbread CAL. I am a complete beginner and I managed to complete the blanket using Lindsey’s patterns and videos which were very clear. I enjoyed making the blanket immensely; it’s the nicest pattern I’ve ever seen and creating all the different panels/patterns sustained my interest. I then subscribed to Curate and did the Christmas stocking and I’m now truly addicted to crochet! Thanks so much to Lindsey for instilling a love for croche...

Sophia M.Verified

Honestly when I started I thought 'what have I gotten myself into' when reading the pattern.. however once I got through to the end of the first row after the tabs I was flying. The video was so so helpful at the start when I had no idea what I was doing (though I could not make it full screen on my phone for some reason). Suck a sense of accomplishment when I finished this and I wear it with much pride. Took about 12 evenings to finish and I am not a very skilled crocheter

Clare W.Verified

Absolutely loved making this bag. I have been crocheting for several years and I just loved this pattern and the colours! I’m on my second bag in different colours. Love it!

Kayleigh F.Verified

I really enjoyed it I'm left handed and found it challenging I love that you have a choice of video or written instructions so when I got confused on the pattern I could refer to the video and providing everything we need for the hole project it's my favourite thing so far thankyou

Paulina W.Verified

Loved the pattern and the colours work together very well. I liked the bag handles so they do not stretch when the bag is used, which is a great idea. I also added my own electric blue lining to add extra stability to the bag, which works great. The only negative I have is that for the first time since I started getting the boxes I have run out of yarn, so was unable to do the decorative trim.

I've wanted to learn how to crochet for a good while. This box caught my eye. I thought no way could I, as a beginner do this. I did take the plunge and within a week I had completed my bag. The granny squares were easy and the step by step instructions coupled with the tutorials ensured success. I have now caught the crochet bug and have a lovely bag which I made to put my other projects in! Couldn't be happier.

Jessica H.Verified

I bought this as a treat for myself, but I haven't got round to starting it yet as I'm still finishing up Christmas presents. But I can't wait to get stuck in! I love all the different colours that you get, and I've never worked with hemp so that will be an interesting challenge :)

Absolutely love these boxes. The packaging is amazing, it is like opening a present. The wool is great, so luxurious, the instructions are clear and easy to follow, I haven't needed to check the video.

Customer photo review of Discovery of Stitches Scarf Kit

Paulina W.Verified

I absolutely loved making this scarf. I learnt new stitches and it was great to see the scarf grow and change colours. It was the first time I used a color changing yarn and I will definitely be using it again. I have already had people asking me where I bought my scarf from and it was lovely to be able to tell them that I actually made it myself.

This is my first subscription box and I am enjoying this project so much. I’m new to crochet so I’m finding it a challenge - but in the best way. Can’t wait to have it finished and enjoy wearing something I made.

Fiona W.Verified

I really enjoyed making my first box the Weekender bag. I added an extra personal touch to it, to make it more secure, a flap and a button as you can see from the photos. You get all you need to make the project, a decent crochet hook very nice and comfortable to crochet with and I had left over yarn which I used to add my own personal touches, great instructional video, my only small criticism would be to have time stamps on the video, so that you can go straight to the part that you got to in...

What a fabulous way to learn to crochet! Your video made it so easy to follow along. I even worked out what the pattern meant, as it all looked like it was written in morse code, by following the video guides you made. I’m onto Strawberry Fields now and have signed up to your monthly box to learn some more. I can’t thank you enough, it has given me something enjoyable to do!

Love the boxes, look forward so much to getting started on the next project. Especially like the option to skip a month if it is not my thing. Many thanks on a great job

Christine K.Verified

I absolutely loved this month’s box, I couldn’t put it down! Lovely yarn and pattern, and a great little bag at the end of it. My only criticism is that the little liner bag for it was much too small, so I had to buy a bigger one, but it didn’t cost much

Fran M.Verified

This was put aside to make sure I finished my Easter Wreath. Loved the pattern, so I got my creative side out (such as it is!) and made a scarf as well!! The yarn is not forgiving if you need to frog but it is definitely worth persevering. Many thanks again!!

Customer photo review of Limonata Shopper Kit or Pattern

Mariana S.Verified

The pattern was very easy to read and follow! I really like how the bag turned out. I had lots of yarn at home, so I did a mix and match with shades of blue for the bag and yellow for the lemon and really like how it turned out. I will say though that if you want a project to do whilst you are having a chat or (half) watching something, this pattern is not for you! It is very heavy on the counting. For me it was the perfect distraction for a 9h roundtrip plane journey!

Amazing projects! Absolutely everything you need in the box, none of the oh I need to buy.... The yarn for the projects is always gorgeous and good quality. I look forward every month to see what's next! So yeah I think I love them 😂

Erin L.Verified

I love the subscription boxes! My first box was the watermelon bag after seeing it advertised on instagram. Since then I have had three boxes, the discovery of stitches scarf (as pictured), the winter haven slippers and the strawberry pencil case. Each of the projects have been so varied and taught me so many skills! I love that videos are included as this is my preferred way to follow a pattern. I also love how easy it is to skip or pause your subscription if the project for that month isn’t fo...

I really enjoyed making these. I’m fairly new to crochet (but have been a knitter for many years). I found the video really helpful to understand the written instructions. I’m really pleased with these. The wool is so soft and beautiful.

Rhona T.Verified

This is my first kit, I am a beginner at crochet and opened the instructions and felt overwhelmed by the abbreviations, but then I scanned the QR code and watch the video, which was absolutely brilliant and showed the stitches very clearly! It taught me lots and gave me confidence so that I then completed the rest of the project using the pattern. I am really pleased with my completed project and can't wait for next month's!

Customer photo review of Sunday Slipper Socks Kit or Pattern

R M.Verified

I have knitted many pairs of socks but this is my first crocheted pair and I have loved making them. The pattern is clear but the video is essential for the little awkward explanations! Now I need a pattern for some thinner ones! Thankyou.

Easy to follow instructions with very helpful video. The yarn was lovely to work with and I was really pleased with the end result. The little bonus of strawberry pin cushion was really sweet. I was very impressed with this kit.
