Unsure of what to get and from where when starting out with crochet? Have no fear! Here are my recommendations for the perfect beginner’s tools that will help you on your journey.

Crochet Hook

Aluminium hooks are lightweight (won’t break easily like plastic hook), with smooth, snag-free tip.

Yarn

Acrylic yarns are affordable, widely available, durable, and washable. A great practise yarn for beginners.

Yarn Cutter

Yarn cutter is lightweight and compact, easier to cut threads/yarns compared to normal scissor. Choose one with cover for safety.

Tape Measure

A retractable measuring tape helps make tasks quicker, while taking up minimal space in your toolbox.

Needle

Choose one with big hole enough to thread thick yarns easily without getting stick. I recommend bend tip needle for easier hook.

Stitch Marker

Invest in colorful stitch markers with reliable locking closures (to avoid the markers falling off the stitch)
