Materials for crochet

One hook, one ball of cotton yarn and a pair of scissors. That is all you need to begin.

  1. 1

    Pick the yarn

    Choose smooth, light-coloured cotton yarn. You can see every stitch and it does not split. The length is printed on the ball band.

  2. 2

    Pick the hook

    The ball band names the recommended hook size. If your stitches come out too tight, go up half a size.

  3. 3

    Small helpers

    A tapestry needle for weaving in ends, scissors, stitch markers (a scrap of yarn works too) and a tape measure.

  4. 4

    Hold the hook

    Hold the hook like a pencil or like a knife. Both are right as long as your hand stays relaxed.
