1. Yarn
Yarn might be the most fun crochet supplies on the list you’ll need because of all the colors, fibers, and weights it comes in.
- Thickness (fine, medium, bulky, etc.)
- Fiber content (what the yarn’s made of)
- Weight in ounces or grams
- Length in yards or meters
- Tool suggestions (hook size)
- Care instructions
2. Hooks
A crochet hook is an essential tool for crocheting since it is the primary tool used to form crochet stitches. They come in different materials, such as wood and steel.
Every crochet hook has a handle (where you hold on), shank (between the handle and hook head and determines the hook size), and hook head (the part that grabs the yarn). After that, the variations are endless.
The most crucial variation is the crochet hook size, designated by letters, numbers, and millimeters. While you’re learning, try to use the hook sizes recommended on your yarn labels.
3. Scissors
A good pair of scissors is an essential crochet tool and ranks up there as most important with yarn and a crochet hook.
4. Yarn Needle
A yarn needle is a blunt tool that is used to weave in yarn ends in crochet projects that can either be metal or plastic. It has a big eye that makes it easy to insert yarn into and thread throughout patterns. You may also see them referred to as darning needles or tapestry needles.
Yarn needles come in different sizes to be used with different weight yarns.
5. Stitch Markers
A stitch marker is a small tool that helps a crocheter keep their place in a project by marking a stitch. They can be used to mark stitches, buttons, rows, and more!
For crocheting, you will want to use locking stitch markers. These stitch markers open and close, so they can be removed when you are done with them.
