Hey Cosmic Crocheters!
I just wanted to give you all some tips on getting started. Some tools you will need:
At least 2 stitch markers
Yarn of your choice
The correct size crochet needle
A pair of scissors
How to tell what kind of yarn you need:
This can vary depending on what your vision is but generally clothing and hats call for medium sized yarn (size 4) while things like blankets or plushies call for thicker yarn (size 5+)
How to tell what hook size you need:
This is found on the yarn packaging (see attached photo).
Stitch markers are highly recommended for all levels not just beginners to help see where to start and end your rows or to make important transitions in your project.
I hope this helps!
