Crochet Basics – Tools of the Trade

~ Once Upon a Tangled Skein

If you’re just getting started in the world of crochet, here’s a few tools of trade that you’re going to need!

  • Crochet Hooks (Buy a set – sizes D-K will work for most patterns)
  • Tapestry/Yarn Needle
  • Scissors/Cutter
  • Stitch Markers
  • Measuring Tape
  • And the fun part…the YARN!

Yarn…a whole other topic which I’ll get into more detail on later…comes in different fiber contents & different weights.  An acrylic in a weight 4 (medium) in a dark color is good for practicing stiches with when first learning.
