Hooks
A standard metal or plastic hook is great, but these options can make crocheting more comfortable.
The most comfortable luxury ergonomic crochet hooks around.
Furls Crochet
These hooks are my absolute favorite ergonomic hooks. Buttery smooth, soft-touch handles, and perfect tension. Definitely worth picking up.
Tulip Etimo Crochet Hook
This inexpensive set is a great place to start if you haven't tried ergonomic crochet hooks before. I still fall back to these hooks when I need to!

Accessories
These must-have accessories can make your life so much easier when crocheting, no matter what you're making.
You're going to need stitch markers. A LOT of stitch markers. These get lost so easily, so you'll need plenty of backups. I love these locking ones!
Stitch Markers

Safety Eyes
It's impossible to weave in ends or make amigurumi details without a yarn needed. I prefer the bent tip ones. It's easier to get between the stitches and create the effect you want!
Yarn Needle
A good retractable tape measure will help you achieve the right size for squares, wearables, and more.
Retractable Measuring Tape
A good pair of scissors makes creating simple. I prefer the snipper type, as they tend to stay sharp for longer.
Yarn Scissors
This is my favorite yarn winder currently. If you're tired of yarn skeins cluttering up your workspace, wind them into cakes and they are much easier to deal with.

I get so sick of yarn not having an accessible center pull, but with this holder I don't have to worry. It rotates as you work so you can get into the rhythm without having to constantly pull your yarn.
