Here’s how it works.
Crochet is a huge part of my life and having great tools is very important to me. Not only can the right tool make my job easier, it can also help me to crochet for longer lengths of time with less pain and discomfort.
And let’s face it, using colorful, beautiful tools adds a special joy to the process.
Here’s a look at some of the items you’ll find in my crochet kit!
Must-Have Tools for a Better Crochet Experience
- My Clover Amour Crochet Hook Set – my trusty and dependable crochet hooks. These are the hooks I grab when I need to get to work and must have a soft grip handle on my hook. When I travel I use a different sent of hooks (see #5).
- Clover Chibi Darning Needles – I always have my little green needle case with metal yarn needles on hand – I prefer metal to plastic when weaving in my ends!
- SINGER Gold Stork Embroidery Scissors – I have had these for more than 10 years now and they are my go-to scissors. My husband bought them for me as a gift.
- Stainless Steel Metal Cork Backed Ruler – I prefer this to a standard measuring tape whenever possible – my son used to unroll and play with my measuring tapes and they would stretch depending on how tightly he wound them back up! that changed the measurements slightly and caused me some trouble. So I use metal rulers unless I’m travelling (then see #6).
- My Travel Set of Crochet Hooks – I love these Prym Ergonomic Crochet Hooks – they are super lightweight, durable and I find them very comfortable to hold and use with most yarns. I tend to stick with metal hooks for cottons but for most others these hooks work beautifully. Plus they have a very long streamlined neck (not tapered) which I must admit is something I prefer in all my crochet hooks. If you need larger hook sizes (7 mm to Size O) they have this set too.
- SINGER Retractable Tape Measure – perfect for travelling and it rolls itself back up which reduces the stretch on the measurements!
- My Favorite Locking Stitch Markers – the Clover Locking Stitch Markers are the most dependable stitch markers I have ever used. They rarely break after opening and closing them multiple times (when you make hats and amigurumi you need a stitch marker that can be opened and close many times!).
- Streamline Metal Crochet Hooks (Furls). When I am crocheting at home for pleasure – for myself or a to make a gift I love working with my Furls Streamline Metal Hooks. They have a few different colors available but my favorite is the Onyx.
- Clover Pom Pom Makers. I know I can make them by hand but I much prefer using a tool! These are my favorite Pom Pom Makers and they come in all sizes!
- Prym Crochet Hook Storage Case. I do not have this exact one but the one I have has the double zipper too that allows me to see completely inside to find my supplies easily. I picked mine up many years ago and a second hand store and when I am carrying my hooks around with me on the go it is compact and keeps everything neat and contained! Plus I never need to worry about how long or short my hooks are – they just fit in the case!
One item I cannot live without when I am crocheting at home is this:
Great tools can make all the difference in your crochet experience. They bring comfort, efficiency, and a bit of joy to every stitch. Whether you’re looking for ergonomic hooks or just love pretty accessories, investing in quality crochet tools is always worth it. Which tools are your must-haves?
