Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Yon Crochet: kits, lessons, Yon Plus, rewards, and more.
Getting Started
Is crochet hard to learn for beginners?
Not at all! Crochet is one of the most beginner-friendly crafts you can pick up. With the right kit and step-by-step video guidance, most people finish their first character in a weekend. Our starter kits come with everything you need, no experience required.
Can left-handed people learn to crochet with Yon?
Yes! Every Yon Crochet video lesson includes a left-hand mode that mirrors the tutorial so you see exactly what your hands should do. Just tap the handedness toggle inside the lesson player to switch modes anytime.
How long does it take to learn crochet?
You can crochet a small character in 1–2 hours once you know the basics. Most beginners are confident with the core stitches within a few days of casual practice. Every beginner lesson starts from absolute zero and teaches all 14 core amigurumi skills, so you go from first stitch to finished character in one project.
What yarn is best for beginners?
A smooth, medium-weight yarn that is easy to see and forgiving of mistakes. That is exactly why every Yon Crochet kit comes with Yon Yarn: a soft 68% cotton / 32% nylon blend, pre-matched in the exact colours your character needs, so there is no guesswork involved.
Kits & Products
What comes in a Yon Crochet kit?
Every kit includes pre-cut yarn in the exact colours you need, a crochet hook, a blunt needle, stuffing, and a safety eyes set. Everything is matched and measured: just open the box and start crocheting. Access to the companion video lesson is included with every kit purchase.
Do I need to buy a kit to access the lessons?
Kit owners get access to the video lesson for their character automatically. Already have your own supplies? You can buy standalone video lessons for any character, or join Yon Plus to unlock every character's lessons at once.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes! We ship worldwide from our Ontario studio. Within Canada, shipping is a flat $5.95 and free on orders over $60. Delivery typically takes 3–7 business days within Canada, and 7–14 business days internationally.
Lessons & Yon Plus
What is Yon Plus?
Yon Plus is our membership, from $20/month. One membership unlocks every Yon character, a whole library of step-by-step video lessons, Yon World stories, PDF patterns, and first access to every new character drop. Cancel anytime; your coins and progress carry over if you resubscribe.
How do I access my video lesson after buying a kit?
Log in to your Yon Crochet account (use the same email you checked out with) and visit Video Lessons. Your kit's lesson will appear automatically. If you don't see it, email us at support@yoncrochet.com with your order number.
Can I watch lessons on my phone?
Absolutely. The lesson player is fully mobile-optimised. You can watch on any device, phone, tablet, or desktop, and your progress saves automatically so you can pick up right where you left off.
Rewards & Dashboard
How does the Yon Coins rewards system work?
Every action earns you Yon Coins: watching lessons, completing challenges, uploading your finished project, and more. Coins accumulate on your Dashboard and can be redeemed at checkout for real discounts on future orders. As you tier up from Bronze to Diamond, each coin is worth even more.
What are the daily streaks?
Log in and complete at least one activity each day to build your streak. Longer streaks earn bonus Yon Coins and unlock streak badges. Your streak resets if you miss a day, so try to check in daily!
I have more questions. How do I contact you?
Email us at support@yoncrochet.com and we'll get back to you within 1–2 business days. You can also reach us through the contact page.
