About This Stitch

Supplies Needed

• Yarn
  • I recommend a 4/Medium weight yarn for beginners.  Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn is a great one to start out with.
• Crochet Hook
  • Most medium weight yarn calls for a 5.0 or 5.5 mm Crochet Hook.  If you aren’t sure you’re going to like crocheting enough to keep doing it, then I would suggest just purchasing one hook to try it out.  If you plan to keep crocheting then it’s worth investing in a good set.  I highly recommend the Clover Amour Crochet Hooks.  Those are the ones I use and they are hands down the best crochet hooks I’ve ever laid my hands on.  Click here to check them out on Amazon.
• Yarn Needle
  • You will need a yarn needle for weaving in your ends on finished crochet projects.

Stitches & Abbreviations Used
