Set of Crochet Hooks

You can find a set of crochet hooks at WoolWarehouse.com (affiliate link). You can also just start with 2 different hooks, one smaller than the other. Then use the larger hook to make your piece, and the smaller hook to weave your yarn tails/ends. I do not use a tapestry needle for weaving ends, but many do. You can find a tapestry needle here (affiliate link). I recommend starting with a size hook 4.5-6.5mm or even larger, as it will be easier to maneuver.

Some Yarn

You can use any type of yarn. When you buy a yarn, make sure it is not too thick or too thin. If you read the ball band, you will see “Aran” or “Worsted” and that’s what you want. I would stay away from anything thicker or thinner in the beginning.

More recommendations:

• Pick a cotton or cotton / acrylic blend, or even plain acrylic. Check the ball band for the fiber content.
• The yarn I use for the beginner videos is perfect for beginners. It is Scheepjes Cahlista – find it at Deramores (affiliate), or any Scheepjes retailer.
• Don’t choose a yarn that’s too fuzzy as it will be hard to work with and obscure the stitches.
• Find a yarn with a thick enough weight for your hook. The ball band will show you which size hook is recommended, but you will likely use size 4.5mm-6.5mm hook.
