What supplies do you need?
Crochet hooks
To get started on your patterns you will need crochet hooks. These come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. The bigger the hook, the wider the stich will become. Curious to see the assortment of hooks from LeafsCreations? Click here.
Yarn
Yarn comes in a variety of different materials. The basic and most used material is wool, but some people think this is rather itchy. If you’re one of those people, try merino wool. This doesn’t itch so much. Click here to see more yarn.
