Two cat kits, one clear starting point
Both the Pusheen Crochet Kit and the Nico the Cat Loopables Kit are beginner-friendly sets from The Woobles that include all materials and step-by-step video tutorials. The main decision comes down to price and whether you want a size option: Nico the Cat is listed at USD 19.20 (compared to USD 30.00) and comes in a Standard size, while Pusheen is USD 27.20 (compared to USD 40.00) with no size variants listed. If you want the lowest-cost entry into a cat crochet kit for beginners, Nico the Cat is the straightforward pick. If the Pusheen character itself is the reason you are buying, the higher price is the trade-off.
Price and what you get for the difference
The catalog prices show a gap of about USD 8 between the two kits at their current listed prices. Both include all materials needed to complete the project and video tutorials that guide you through each stitch, so the extra cost for Pusheen is not explained by additional components in the supplied information. Nico the Cat also lists a Standard size option; Pusheen does not list size variants in the supplied record.
- Nico the Cat Loopables Kit: USD 19.20 (catalog comparison price USD 30.00); Standard size option; includes all materials and step-by-step video tutorials.
- Pusheen Crochet Kit: USD 27.20 (catalog comparison price USD 40.00); includes all materials and step-by-step video tutorials; no size variants listed in the supplied information.
Nico the Cat: lower price, size choice
-
Nico the Cat Loopables Kit: Kit comes in a Standard size option. If you prefer a defined size for your first project, this is the only one of the two kits with a listed size option.
Nico the Cat Loopables Kit
-
Nico the Cat Loopables Kit: Designed for beginners, with step-by-step video tutorials to guide you through each stitch. Confirms the beginner support is built into the kit, which matters if you have never crocheted before.
-
Nico the Cat Loopables Kit: Includes all materials needed to complete your Nico the Cat project. You do not need to buy yarn or hooks separately, keeping the total cost predictable.
Pusheen: character-first choice at a higher price
-
Pusheen Crochet Kit: The Pusheen Crochet Kit from The Woobles is a beginner-friendly set designed to help you start your crochet journey. Establishes that Pusheen is also aimed at beginners, so the choice is not about difficulty level in the supplied information.
Pusheen Crochet Kit
-
Pusheen Crochet Kit: Includes all materials to complete your Pusheen crochet project. Like Nico, this is a complete kit, so the price difference is not due to missing materials in one versus the other.
-
Pusheen Crochet Kit: Step-by-step video tutorials guide you through each stitch. Both kits offer the same tutorial format, so your decision can focus on character preference and budget.
When the choice is harder: gifting and character appeal
If you are buying for someone who already knows and loves Pusheen, the character connection may justify the higher price even though the beginner support is comparable. For a gift where you are unsure of the recipient's preferences, Nico the Cat at the lower price is a lower-risk starting point. Neither kit lists an age range or safety warnings in the supplied information, so if the kit is for a child, check the product page or packaging for that detail before buying. The supplied records also do not include care instructions or additional operating steps, so plan to follow the video tutorials for project guidance rather than relying on the listing for procedural details.
Decision rules for your first cat crochet kit
Use these rules to settle the choice quickly based on what the supplied information actually confirms.
- Choose Nico the Cat if price is your main filter.: At USD 19.20 versus USD 27.20, Nico is the lower-cost option and still includes all materials and video tutorials.
- Choose Nico the Cat if you want a listed size option.: Nico comes in a Standard size; Pusheen does not list size variants in the supplied record.
- Choose Pusheen if the character is the reason for the purchase.: The beginner support and complete materials are comparable, so the higher price buys the Pusheen design rather than a different learning format.
- Check age and safety details separately for either kit.: The supplied information does not include an age range or warnings, so verify those on the product page if the kit is for a child.
