Circular bamboo needles are my favorite and I think the easiest for beginners to learn with, check your yarn and pattern to make sure you get the appropriate size and length
Stitch markers are super important for following patterns and keeping your place in your work, I like these ones because you can move them without undoing anything stitches
Clover Lock Ring Markers

A tape measure comes in handy for patterns that measure sections by length and not rows
Loops & Threads™ Tape Measure, 60"
Â
Darning needles are needed for casting off and sewing in the ends of your yarn, I like that this one has a case so you don't lose any of the needles

A good beginner yarn that's affordable, calls for 3.75 mm needles
