Which is better for a complete beginner?

The 4M kit. It includes yarn and a 14-page booklet, so you can make a coaster or placemat without buying anything else. The 29-piece kit assumes you already have yarn and a pattern.

Which has better hooks?

The 29-Piece kit. Its seven ergonomic hooks are built for long sessions and fit small or large hands. The 4M ships two basic hooks that are fine for short beginner projects.

Is the 29-piece kit worth stepping up to?

Yes if you plan to keep crocheting. The hooks, stitch markers, row counter and gauge ruler stay useful across many projects, while the 4M tools are mostly used up with its yarn.

Which is better for a child?

The 4M kit. It is recommended for ages 8 and up and pairs yarn with simple written instructions. The 29-piece kit is a tool set aimed at adults and teens.

Can I make a plush or sweater with either kit?

Not from the box. The 4M only has enough yarn for three small items. The 29-piece kit has no yarn at all, so you supply your own for larger projects.

The 29-Piece kit. Its metal and ergonomic tools outlast the 4M's two hooks and plastic needle, and the 4M's yarn is consumed by the projects.

29-Piece Crocheting Kit vs 4M Easy To Do Crochet Kit
