Tool introduction
Crochet can choose different materials and forms according to personal budget and preferences. A crochet hook with a handle is suitable for long-term knitting and is relatively labor-saving and easy to hold. Different brands of crochet needles have differences in the shape of the handle, the angle of the hook head and the depth of the hook groove. These slight differences will affect the gesture and rotation angle during crocheting, and then affect the appearance of the needle.
So even with the same size, the shape and size of the stitches knitted by different brands will be slightly different. It is recommended to use the same crochet needles during the knitting process of the same work, so that there will be no difference in knitting!
Other knitting tools, such as: marking circles for marking stitches, wool sewing needles for hiding thread ends, scissors, cloth rulers, etc., are quite practical. If possible, please prepare them all!
