## CROCHETING TOOLS 

Proper tools are necessary in crocheting. Learn about the tools before you buy so you will select good equipment. 

## CROCHET HOOK 

A crochet hook is the first tool required. Crochet patterns tell the size of hooks to use. Your leader will help you decide what hooks to use for your first project. 

## MEASURING TOOLS 

For measuring you will need a ruler (either 6 or 12 inch), a measuring tape, or a metal- measuring gauge. 

## SCISSORS 

Keep a small pair of scissors or shears handy for cutting yarn, trimming pompoms, etc. Be sure to keep scissors in a case for safety. 

## TAPESTRY NEEDLE 

A blunt-pointed tapestry needle is used for sewing seams. A straight, steel needle is best. Some tapestry needles have a “hump” around the eye. They are not good for joining seams in crocheting as the hump catches on stitches and makes it hard to pull the yarn through.
