Hello friends! Today I decided to put together a list of my top 5 essentials tools every crocheter needs (not including the obvious like yarn).
1: Crochet hooks
Ok, this one is also a no brainer, but you will quickly find out that there are so many different hooks sizes, and each pattern will call for a specific size. I recommend this set on Amazon, it comes with 14 different sizes of hooks, and you can use them for different patterns.

2: Tape measure
This one will come real handy when you are making garments, trust me, you will need this!
3: Yarn needles
No matter what you make, you will have to hide your yarn ends. Yarn needles are perfect for that, and it is a must for crocheters. I recommend getting a set that comes with different hole sizes.
4: Stitch Markers:
These are super helpful if you have a pattern worked in the round, or if they have specific stitch counts.
Tip: If somehow you can’t find a stitch marker when you need one, using a bobby pin as one will save the day!

5: Scissors
And last but not least, you will need scissors. I recommend getting some like this that you can take with you while you travel.
So here you have the basic tools that you will need as a crocheter! Don’t worry about getting expensive stuff at the beginning, if you have theses 5 tools you will be good to go!
