Here’s a list of some basic tools and equipment you’ll need when working on crochet projects.

• Scissors – a small, pointed pair to trim yarn ends and cut yarn
• Yarn Needles – with long and wide eyes to sew crochet pieces together and to weave in tails
• Other Needles – for attaching embellishments and other sewing uses
• Pins – glass-headed for blocking crochet, plastic-headed for pinning crochet pieces together, forked Japanese pins for blocking lighter pieces
• Clips – used for holding crochet pieces together when seaming
• Tape Measure – with inches and centimeters to measure your work
• Ruler – good for measuring blocks and small items
• Size Gauge – good for checking the size of your hooks
• Row Counters – helps in keeping track of how many rows you’ve done
• Stitch Markers – extremely helpful so you can count stitches or rows (I make my own with beads and jewelry components *s*); bobby pins or safety pins can also be used
• Notebook & Pen/Pencil – for tracking pattern changes and measurements
• Plastic Box with Compartments – for keeping all your tools organized and easy to locate
• Hook Storage – use a plastic box or zippered cosmetic bag to store your hooks; keep the metal hooks separate so they don’t scuff the others
• Sock Blockers – to shape your socks once they are complete
• Quilter’s Color Palette – for color design
• Iron – for blocking crochet pieces

Happy hooking! *grin*
