Materials To Start To Learn Crochet

To start learning how to crochet, you only need 2 items to start:

1 crochet hook (the size doesn't matter)



1 ball of yarn (color doesn't matter, although it is good to start with 4 ply 100% Acrylic Wool



Crochet hooks can come in different sizes and materials such as, aluminum, steel, plastic and wood and yarn comes in different weights and lengths as well. The difference is that if a thinner hook and yarn is used, you will be able to create delicacy in your patterns similar to lace and with thicker hooks and yarn, you can create chunky sweaters, blankets and hats.
