Crochet Hook Set and Case

In crochet the hook is one of the most important tools you will use.  It guides the yarn and creates the stitches to form your project.  Having a range of different sizes or hook is important when beginning especially because we all crochet a little differently, some tighter and some looser.  Its invaluable having a set of different sized hooks to hand so you can go up or down a hook size or two to find the best hook to suit the yarn and you. 

WHY THIS SET

  • Great Value 
  • Wide range of hook sizes
  • Extra tools 
  • Handy Storage Case

This set provides so much for such a low cost. At the time of writing this it is £6.99.  I started my crochet journey as a beginner with this kit and completed my first blanket, hats, toy unicorns and even an octopus.

DK Yarn Korbond

DK yarn or Double Knit is an inexpensive yarn to start with as a beginner.  Typically its easy to work with and a good thickness  to get the feel of the crochet stitches and whereas with an expensive specialty yarns a mistake might be expensive with DK its not.

Yarn Snips 2pc

I personally like snips to cut me yarn, they come with a handy cover that goes over the blades when not in use.  If you have kids near it helps keep them safe. 

This 2 pack is great value and if you are like me having a second pair is invaluable just in case you mislay the first set.

Yarn Bag

This mini yarn bag stops your ball of yarn rolling across the floor or even  a child running off with it (yes that has happen to me many times).

You can sit this little bag next to you or even carry over your wrist and work up your crochet project with ease and avoiding tangles.  

zip lock bags

Project Bags 30pc

If you have these already, no need to buy any but if not having these handy see through bags helps keep your projects in check.  Being clear helps you locate your project easily and if you are like me you have more than one project you are working on they are invaluable.  Great to avoid tangle yarn and lost parts of your project..

Crochet storage bag

These storage bags can hold a great deal and keep all your crochet yarn and tools together.  I have a red one and I keep it tucked away in the cupboard when not in use.
