Hooks
Ergonomic crochet hooks designed for comfort, smooth stitching, and stress-free crocheting for beginners.
THE HOLY GRAIL OF CROCHET HOOKS!! They are on the expensive side but genuinely so worth it! They are comfortable, sleek, and such fun colors. I have never, EVER regretted buying this set of hooks!
Clover Amour Crochet Hook Set
This was my first set of hook! They have the basic sizes and they are comfortable! These are perfect for newbies!
Susan Bates® Soft Ergonomic™ Crochet Hook Set, G-K
Beautiful hooks! Very sleek, and very middle of the road option for new crocheters! I’ve been pleased with these hooks since I’ve purchased them!
Prym Ergonomic Small Size Crochet Hook Set
Yarn
Soft, beginner-friendly yarns that are easy to work with and perfect for practicing stitches.
SO soft and works so well for blankets! No color changes and a perfect phasing so the colors don’t change harshly! I made a star blanket form this in the beginning and it was gorgeous! Hides some imperfections well!
Caron® Cloud Cakes™ Perfect Phasing Yarn
One of my faves for cotton yarn! It’s a HUGE cake so lots of yardage! Caron makes quality, beautiful yarn!
Caron® Cotton Cakes™ Yarn
Chunky yarn is PERFECT for beginners because the stitches are so much easier to see. This chunky yarn is in my top 3! The cakes are gorgeous colors and so neat!
Caron® Chunky Cakes™ Yarn
Especially in toffee brikle - amazing! The color changes are quick but they look so good together! Make a cute pullover with only two of these cakes (I’m plus size) so the yardage is so worth it!
Caron® Big Cakes™ Yarn
Apps
Must-have crochet apps for learning stitches, following patterns, and organizing all your crochet projects.
Another GREAT app for finding patterns, new stitches and inspiration! One of many in the market that are amazing!

Absolutely amazing for searching for patterns and inspiration! It’s also perfect for organizing patterns with the “boards” on your profile! Also super easy to use and FREE!
Pinterest
No one ever really tells you how important and difficult it can be to track rows!! This app has been so easy to use and an absolute god send in past projects! 10/10 would recommend for newbies getting into crochet!
My Row Counter, Knit & Crochet
This app is another god send! There is so much you can use it for! They have patterns (free and paid), yarn, hooks and even bingo where you can win yarn! This company is amazing and their app is so easy to use!
